Fair enough. I wasn't trying to be critical or put you down and I apologise if it comes across that way. I guess I believe that two wrongs don't make a right. But I guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I get angry too you know. But I do my best to make my contribution to this movement as professional, intelligent and calmly as possible. I like to listen as well as make my statement. This doesn't make me any less angry or righteous. But thanks I guess?
You know what, I actually genuinely appreciated your message. I think whatâs unnecessary, though, is trying to tell people who you donât even know how to think/feel/act, âcause thatâs totally prescriptive, myopic, and presumptuous. Everyoneâs life experiences, everyoneâs politics, everyoneâs approaches to addressing and problematizing and resolving issues are different. Iâve tried to âlisten,â Iâve tried to be diplomatic, but that shit only goes so far for me. I donât have the time or the energy to worry about pleasing people. I have enemies, and Iâm cool with that. Iâm not here to sugarcoat anything.
