19. "But you knew I wasn't using the legal form"

Sat Sep 10, 2016, 06:42 PM

Sep 2016

Let's begin the dialog -

As a middle-aged black woman, "segregation" has ONE meaning to me in the context of the discussion of "race". You have just undervalued my entire worldview and assumed that I see the world as you do. I don't. So you cannot define to me or lecture to me what I am supposed to say, think, be, interpret, or discuss.

Lesson 1 - Step back from the perspective of "privilege" and reverse the worldviews and then maybe the discussion can move forward... one day.
