did you even read the post you replied to?


Did you understand his?

Regarding "nothing changes" he's spot on adding other groups that are entitled to fair and equal consideration. He's expanding the discussion, which is the point of this place (or is suppose to be).

Regarding 'speak for yourself', I have to agree with him. When someone uses 'you' or 'your' in a sentence indicating someone specific should 'confront your own preconceptions' what they are really doing is making a blanket blaming statement across a group of people on whether or not they have preconceptions.

That's a conversational no-no because someone doesn't have the right to speak for me on my behalf. It's the trust, man. It's the trust.


Meh, I just read it as an anti-joke. I think you guys are getting worked up over nothing.
