@avantgame@RyanNewYork => "How many white, black, Indian, Asian, etc. people does someone need to make an acceptable inspirational speech?" -
@Frogdiceinc@RyanNewYork Let's set the bar low. How about something OTHER than 100% white men? esp if you're addressing a diverse audience. -
@avantgame@RyanNewYork Definitely ideal. I agree. But should ticking genders or races off a list be more important than the message? -
.
@Frogdiceinc the message you're sending (implicitly, not explicitly) is that only white men have ever said or done anything important. -
@avantgame@Frogdiceinc the more you'll be inspired, the more you'll achieve. Tons of empirical evidence for this, eg http://psp.sagepub.com/content/28/9/1183.short … -
@JustinMHelms@Frogdiceinc yay for empirical evidence!!
