I must've imagined where you suggested How to Win Friends and Influence People as if it's never been tried before.
For you as an individual. MOST individual one on one issues can be easily resolved by using empathy and other techniques found in that and and similar books. When I was a waitress at steak and shake on night shifts. I would sometimes come early when it was super busy and that was how you solve issues. BUT there are rare times when somebody is incorrigible. That's kind of a microcosm of society. Some white people who live in white areas see themselves as white republicans before human and American first or second. But when you talk to them and show them common ground. Barriers break down.
What is the alternative ? Blanket hate or dismissal ? No.
Like, my friend Nikki is kind of a hippie and hates Trump. But her bf is a naval officer. They're both nurses tho. But he loves Trump. But they don't even care that much. They just love.
There are too many boundaries. Too many artificial borders. Country, color, religion, gender. Country kind of makes sense sometimes. But the others .no way.
This white guy at google seemed likke he just wanted the same opportunities to take special classes or whatever.
Anyways doesn't matter what I write. You or somebody else will dig out one sentence and focus on that instead of the point. Which is let's just help each other and work together. Figure out solutions without jumping to hate or demonize.
