You see the action available to concerned Church members as "escalation," but you're not privileging official power.

Right.

Have you considered that your comments and/or the Bishop's actions were racist, whether intentionally or not?

Oh stop with the melodrama already. This isn't about "privileging official power." It's about a human being who made a stupid mistake, but was probably trying to do what he thought was best. Have you ever made one in your life?

Yes. They're not. Not even unintentionally.

No melodrama, just more evidence of your assumptions.

Whether they comprehend the context of their actions or not, individuals don't act in vacuums.

That makes no sense. If you're just going to play puerile "gotcha" games, don't bother responding.
