Etiquette - July 2006

Is it okay for someone who has never experienced something to judge those who have?

Example:
A non pot smoker saying it is harmful and bad.
Depression is bearable and curable.
Poor people need to pull their head out of their *** and get a job.

Maybe they have their lives pulled together, and they know what they ae talking about, but can you really say until you been there?

I mean, let's say I'm a man in a position of authority and she's a woman who I don't really know all that well. Is it OK if I come up behind her and start massaging her shoulders in front of the others at the meeting, even if it is just a friendly gesture?

I didn't have a good relationship with my mother-in-law and I have adjusted and do not do things I know would upset my daughter-in-laws, but somehow we are not real close, but we get along very well.

When someone is referring to your race (not speaking of you individually) how do you prefer they refer to you...black or African American? I really don't see what the big deal is about the whole black/AA issue. I'm caucasian...most people refer to me as white. I'm not white...I'm more of a creamy pink color, to be honest. Much the same as you aren't black...you may be light tan, or you may be very dark brown.

You don't know me...you don't know that my ancestors are from German, England and Scotland, and I certainly don't expect you to refer to me as German/English/Scots American. I don't know you...for all I know, your ancestors could be from Jamaica or Trinidad, so why should I be expected to refer to you as African American? Isn't it just easier and less confusing to say black and white? White people don't get offended when we're called white, so why do so many black people get offended when called black? Serious answers only please! I'm not trying to start an argument.
