Even if the intent is good/humble, there are better ways to approach this.
Happy Monday! I think I'm going to play some Gen2 tonight π http://pbs.twimg.com/media/E1mySOXUUAgo_Q7.jpg
@AvionLukas The problem is that it has racial undertones. it makes the assumption that all black people talk a certain way or come from an upbringing. Then he lists things as if black people don't/can't have those things as well.
I will let you know, I considered getting fired for leaking the Genesis II theme music over the weekend. I was almost willing to risk it for the community....
Then I saw @jeremystieglitz in my head.. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/E1m2SumVgAIlt_2.png
@darkvanillarose I think if he has asked the questions without saying this is the key to this countries evolution. you have to understand a statement like that has all sorts of assumptions. if he had just asked me where I grew up, etc it would have been fine.
@BearXaki Yea I get the intent. I didn't rage out. Just wanted to point that out for those who may not have seen an interaction like that.
And I'll find out tonight ;)
@AvionLukas Hopefully, someone is enlightened by it. I think the dialogue is good, we just have to be careful with how we come to the table when we discuss. Both sides honestly.
@darkvanillarose @Vicpr2 What bothered me is the assumptions. if you are coming from a place of seeking genuine understanding, I would try not to lace my questions with assumptions. Just ask them straight up. Where did you go to school, grow up, were you rich, etc? Then take that info back to ponder.
