What You Can Learn About PR from Dave McClure

Because there is now a culture of co-opting or manufacturing outrage as part of some sort of ridiculous social justice movement. Unfortunately twitter, tumbler, etc gives idiots a loud mouthpiece for things like this when previously they would have just been ignored.

The thing is, just because you or I don't see how something is offensive doesn't mean that it isn't. A phrase like "real injustice" is our way of subtly saying "we get to define what injustice is, you don't."

Well, you're not a woman who has to put up with cat-calling and name-calling on the street so I wouldn't expect you to see it as disrespectful. Mr. McClure didn't see it as disrespectful at first either until a number of his followers helped him understand why it would be.

This article left out a bunch of the discussion he had with people who called him out on his choice of words, it's worth reading.

Any usage of Ebonics no matter how playful can upset a person, especially when that person hangs out with butterflies in designer clothing hovering over the unwashed peeps is my guess.

A quick glance at the urban dictionary should be enough to get you started: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=miss%20thang

It's a bit like reminding African American participants to sign up using one of the terms from http://www.rsdb.org/race/blacks

I agree, this piece seems to be more pr than anything else.

hey tonedeaf brogrammer.... /snark

Yep,yep. I misread the headline and read this hoping for insights from Troy McClure. I really don't care about how a person on Twitter was offended by a tweet. I learned nothing from this blog post.
