(18,458 posts)If you're right, and you probably are, DurhamD was talking about how sometimes we jump to conclusions about people and throw out a more rational understanding because we become heated and our emotions take over?
What I was originally commenting on was the opposite, perhaps I took it wrong. I assumed that DurhamD was taking issue with my original statement talking about why the poster in question in this thread MAY be acting like they are and that we should try to see what might be behind their words before calling them an outright bigot in league with Republicans. I doubt we would ever agree with them, yet at least maybe we can see what causes them to talk/act like they do, and then maybe come to an understanding that the things said were perhaps out of ignorance and not malice. At least I hope so.
If I mistook what DurhamD said, I apologize!
