CMV: There is nothing inherently racist about a white person wearing brown makeup.

Thank you. I don't mean to be that way but if people see that way then I need to be more diplomatic. That being said, downvoting doesn't prove anything other than rustled jimmies. Abrasive or not points can be made to address the content and if the manner at which the message is conveyed just proves that people don't care about the content.

really goes against the spirit of this subreddit

The spirit of the subreddit is to change people's views not to couch things in a manner that makes them feel fuzzy. I get what you are saying and I agree with you that a smile is much better than a frown. I'm not trying to make friends. I'm trying to convey ideas.

you come off as abrasive, antagonist, and disrespectful

Do you mind showing the part where I am being antagonistic and disrespectful? Not that I'm saying I'm not, just that I want to learn to be better.

Thank you for responding. I don't post to CMV because I'm insecure and afraid of not contributing effectively. If my ideas are good but my message is ugly then that is something I need to work at.
