I agree with/appreciate both The Folk Prophet and Eowyn's comment. Christ did offend people all the time, yet he was/is perfect. Christ is an example to us. He spoke up. On the other hand, we can't really hold a candle to Christ. We aren't perfect, we did not perform the Atonement. I think the topic of contention has grey areas. Other people may say no, it's always black and white. Maybe the black and white offend the grey. No, the grey offends the black. No, the black clearly offends the grey. No, the white offends only the grey, but never the black. If the spirit prompts you to say something, then you should say it, regardless of possible hurt feelings. Let the Holy Ghost be your guide. I don't think the spirit will lead us astray.
