So you called it correctly saying you seen a question behind the question.
My real question is, can you see where another man is coming from, even if you don't agree?
Most liberals have been to similar places that you mentioned, and few liberals have been to the places I mentioned. Or at least, once they have, they tend to no longer be liberals.
So it creates this sort of divide that we see every day even here. Educated liberals in thier smugness and sort of circular reaffirmation think they know about things they don't experience or live with. And conservatives fail to see the intent of liberals and focus on the folly.
Whereas it comes to my mind, that I believe y'all mean well, and in your mind have good intentions. Like trying to call out a man for racism for example.
The problem is, most of you don't understand what any of it really is or means in practice. Because you've learned all about it, and you've heard all about it. But most of you don't have to live with it, and have never really seen it.
So it just seems to me, like if we take the good intentions and desire to help people from one group, and look at the problem through the unfiltered eyes of the other group, then we've got a better chance of getting along and prospering.
And it starts with mutual respect.
So the question is: can you see where a man is coming from, even if you don't agree? Amd if not, can you try to understand?
