So well written, slyly funny, enjoyed revisiting this classic narrated from the point of view of[b] a slave[/b].[/quote]

Let me fix that for you: *an enslaved person*[/quote]
Am I the only one who finds “let me fix that for you” terribly annoying? [/quote]

People aren’t going to listen and learn when you write that. Much nicer ways to say it that will have a bigger impact than your self righteousness. [/quote]

No need to be "nicer" in response to racism. In fact that approach has been part of the problem. [/quote]
Very much disagree. Read the post at 4:13. You actually stand a chance of people listening to what you have to say and changing their approach if you phrase as that poster suggested. “Let me fix that” immediately puts people on the defensive. [/quote]
