Is it really this hard for you guys to put yourself in someone else’s shoes for a moment? Someone who isn’t the majority in this country, be it numerical majority (white) or power majority (male)?
Maybe I would have found it more moving if I were black and/or a woman, I don’t know.
I guess my ultimate question is why you would have to be black and/or female to have a positive reaction to the speech rather than “meh” but I’m willing to drop it at this point.
You already answered that with this:
But seriously, why are we actually discussing Oprah being elected? Why is anyone anywhere discussing it?
She made a big and inspiring speech.
meh.
Pfft. Good grief.
I just didn’t think it was that great or that moving.
What was it about, Warbler?
Racism, sexism, sexual harassment/assault, “me too”, advancement of African Americans and women, etc.
So…stuff that doesn’t affect you?
Probably not as much as they do women and minorities, but I still consider them to be important issues.
Definitely not as much as them.
