I found it thrilling to read your comment.

Hey, you seem to be feeling pissed by all this misunderstanding!?

Well, and I don't want to be told what's right or wrong.

Even if it is extremely right, like a need for respect.

Wish to be heard? Well then: I heard you! You could have done it more easy for me, but I guess I learned a lot.

Thanks for having me reminded of this.

So you're feeling outraged by the advice given in this video, because it reinforces the Black person's offense without providing the correction that you think is needed. Is that right?

This is what's WRONG with Liberals idea of resolving problems. Instead of making the idiot who is UN-RIGHTLY "offended" see how DUMB they are being, Liberals want the person who did NOTHING WRONG to compromise his/her principals and beliefs. What you DO in this situation is tell the BLACK MAN TO GET OVER IT! Ironically, it has been the LIBERALS KILLING THE BLACKS since the beginning of the end of slavery! SEE THE DOC. MAAFA! BLACKS WILL SOON BE ON THE RIGHT SIDE and dems will finally go away!

I just watched this entire show for the second time so that I could take notes. I found so much good modeling for myself. How I might respond when the other person doesn't see what I think is obvious; how I might respond when someone judges instead of supporting or empathizing; how I can move from thinking judgmental thoughts to empathizing; how I can try to balance lightness with seriousness; how to talk about something when I walk in the room with a "whole baggage of stuff". Thank you.
