Hello Richard, lovely to meet you.

You are absolutely right. I think I will edit this article, or perhaps write another one.

It's true that all the discourse I'm having also comes from a culture and language of its own, which is not clear to everyone —nor does it have to be.

Reflecting more deeply on this, it is one of great problems also of the academic world: the difficulty in reaching people with a clear, simple but educational language.

I also firmly believe that many left-wing radicalisations also don't really know what they are talking about.

As in the case of teenagers on Twitter, or in other kinds of protestations, they also lack knowledge of why they are using those words "white privilege".

But what can one expect from teenagers or adults in todays uninformed world?

I was clear in saying that it is not in fact my intention to defame Anne's memory, but to make people see exactly what you stated: who we choose to perpetuate in the collective memory or not.

I may have been wrong to draw a comparison with the tragedy of slavery. I know that in the English language there is this word "whataboutism" and perhaps I just fell into that mistake.

But, by all means, that was not the intention at all! But rather to show how there is a whole other narrative of suffering that we choose not to see, not to talk about, not to feel so much compassion for.

And this is happening everywhere today!

I could even extend —and I have — to the issue of the War in Ukraine, and how we are alarmed by this, but turn a blind eye to the prolonged tragedy in Yemen;

( And I know many people have written about the same, and I know that perhaps is taking out the focus of a tragedy by replacing it with another one —there's no easy road on taking positions).

Or how we also refuse to see the huge tragedy that is happening as I write these words, to workers in Qatar, dozens if not hundreds of people dying, being exploited, for our and the Arab oligarchs' beautiful pleasure to make a world football/soccer championship !

We choose to ignore that, select what matters, and perpetuate that as a universal memory representative of all humanity.

And that?! That is a tremendous injustice, not only to marginalised groups, but also to others, from whom the truth is hidden.

Again, I need to use other type of language, perhaps that's the next challenge personally.
