Thank you for reading. As you rightly stated what you have have read has not been in  the news. For  the simple   reason that it happened  between March and April. But I have brought it now because then,I had no time to. However,I have taken the pains to indicate it with  two asterix at the end of part one. God Bless and I hope, you will continue to read the second part.

I guess it depends...sometimes it does seem to make them
even more entrenched in their views.

it is up to the viewer...
to make up his own opinion about what he is seeing...

The first reactions are always bad. The egos, self-defence etc get in the way of seeing logic.

Ignorance has a way of exposing its true nature, Straightforward. However,
when exposing something hateful, we take upon ourselves a target role.  We also allow for the continuation of the hatefulness in like-minded fools.  But, when all is said and done, I believe the good to far outweigh the bad in confronting and exposing.

Probably both.   Most people don't take it well when called down but they need to not be allowed to get away with it.

Thanks malcolm for that insight about exposure

Exposure
doesn't mean that the cameraman endorses, often quite the opposite; in making things clearer we are all able to judge better what we see.
