Is it best to talk about/not talk about the elephant in the room? Either way what causes it go away or stay? Why?

Hello Rosie:

Noooo...  If we TALK about racism, we make more RACISM.  Better be quiet about it, then it'll go away..

And why are you picking on elephants? They're such gentle and noble creatures.

I don't know. You tell us.

Ah! Well then button the lip or sink the ship? Right. How simple life can be through the lens of idiocy!  Thank you for your reply excon! :)

I vote for talking about it. Not talking about it seems to only make the elephant bigger and angrier, and I don't think it ever just magically disappears. If you actually deal with issues, resolution can be reached, to some extent, at least.

depends on what that elephant is doing
