@avantgame@Frogdiceinc@RyanNewYork As outside observer that sounds like you're saying people can only be empowered by their own race/sex. -
@pcbills@avantgame@RyanNewYork That's kinda how I read it as well, which was the only reason I said something. -
@Frogdiceinc@pcbills@avantgame@ryannewyork But it's also very important to see people who are the same as you. Be it sexuality, race etc. - End of conversation

@avantgame@RyanNewYork For example, I've read/seen stuff of yours and been empowered. I never even noticed if your citations were diverse -
@Frogdiceinc if you weren't a white male you probably would have wondered if someone like you was mentioned -
@omni56shi That's awfully presumptuous of you. And also inaccurate. -
@Frogdiceinc@omni56shi To be fair, you can't know if it is inaccurate since you've never had the experience of being anything but you. -
@dualhammers@omni56shi Uh yes I can, since he made a statement about *ME*. I'm the ultimate judge on what *I* would do or not do. -
@Frogdiceinc@omni56shi But you have no way of knowing who you would be given an hypothetical other set of experiences.

@avantgame@RyanNewYork Can't the CONTENT of the speech empower you rather than the bibliography of the speech?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
