Because people have, for 100s of years, endured so much suffering in their attempt even be a part of this discussion and to have their collective opinions contribute to change. Not talking about these things practically dismisses their struggle. Yes it would be nice to live in a blissful bubble of ignorance, but ignoring the issues just perpetuates the status quo.
I know conversations seem to lead to no where, but the constant discussion educates at least one person with one piece of information they didn't know before each time we have them. These tidbits of information eventually add up, and as time passes someone could be enlightened to a whole new outlook on the issue. This could lead to tolerance and empathy in the long run. (which is important for future generations)
(I wasn't able to properly articulate my point properly because I'm just way too tired to form coherent thoughts, but I think the gist of what i meant to say is there.)
