The whole Brexit and Trump ‘thing’ has bought the conversation about racism to the fore recently.
I’ve had conversations with a number of people who’ve said of the likes of Trump, Farage, etc that “They can’t say that”.
Or do that.
And my standard reply is “They can”.
People ‘Can’ do anything they like.
Be racist, sexist, ageist, homophobic, etc.
It’s their entitlement as humans.
Sure, they ‘shouldn’t’ be.
They should understand the consequences of their behaviour.
And how people will react to it.
But they ‘can’ do it.
Hell, you can murder people and commit all sorts of other crimes.
You’ll (hopefully) go to prison.
But you ‘can’ do it.
How can you tell if people ‘can’ do something.
They do!
Saying people ‘can’t do something’ rarely leads to the desired effect.
People don’t like being told what they can and can’t do.
And will often do the opposite.
It’s why we’ll never say you ‘can’t’ eat certain foods.
Or eat in a certain way.
Or that anything is ‘banned’.
However, we will help people understand what eating certain ways will do to their bodies, their energy levels, their health, etc.
Outside of it just being a number of calories.
We’ll help them realise that everything they eat is their choice.
We’ll help them find the easiest possible ways to do the things way may want to do.
But, ultimately, they can do what they like.
We can all do what we like.
You can chose to eat and live a certain way and have a body you don’t like.
Or eat and live another way and have a body you do like.
You can do what you like!
