That doesn't change the meaning. My rejoinder says that racism, regardless of whether it elevates or degrades the subject group, always has negative effects.
- dllthomas 13y agoI read the grand-parent as a note that "denunciation" is overly narrow because it can also be praise that is overly weighted, overly generalized, or misapplied entirely - a claim you seem to agree with. It's "not negative" in the way that "positive feedback" is "not negative" - which says nothing about the consequences.
