Don’t fight over something that’s none of your business, or that you can’t do anything about.
Think about the consequences of the argument. Are they worth it?
Determine what the conflict is really about. Once you do this, then decide if it’s worth bringing up. If it is, address the underlying issue, not the superficial one.
Make sure the argument is going to solve something.
Don’t fight just because you “feel you’ve been challenged.”
Ask yourself, “Is it really a big deal?” Chances are that it’s not.
Realize that you don’t always have to have the last word, and often it takes the “bigger person” to simply let the conflict go.
Ask yourself, “Am I really right? Does it matter if I’m right? Is there really a ‘right or wrong’ for this issue?”
Is this an issue you’ll remember in five years? In one year or six months, even? If not, don’t fight it.

Dr. Cornell West on The Colbert Report
Now Newsweek is telling their story and asking why the rest of the country doesn’t know that there is a serial killer in North Carolina killing Black women. Most interesting is when they discuss Nancy Grace’s decision to bump this story from her show. As you know, Nancy Grace is the pied piper of missing and murdered women and children.
But the national media did show some interest in the story after it was revealed that five women were murdered in or around the town.“Nancy Grace called and wanted to have some of us on her show, but before it aired there was a white woman from Georgia that went missing. The Nancy Grace show was canceled,” Knight says. HLN network, which broadcasts Nancy Grace, confirmed that Knight was booked for the show, which was ultimately canceled to profile the disappearance of Kristi Cornwell, a white woman from Blairsville, Ga., who went missing during an evening walk. Representatives from Nancy Grace told NEWSWEEK, “The booking was changed due to news that was breaking that day,” and emphasized the change had nothing to do with the race of the victim.
