He may say he is all he likes, but all he will be in possession of is an emerging definition of it that competes with past intent-based definitions of it.

This paragraph proves you're not listening--or maybe you're just incapable of hearing what you don't want to hear. Either way, I'm not explaining this shit to you again.

More bullshit.

You are so consumed with yourself that you don't even see that you are uninterested in anything but your own take. Your responses never address the substance of what I'm saying. It's always just how you'd
like to see it. I've worked in diversity for 20 years and lived it my whole life. I'm not saying your opinions aren't valid. I point out when they are ignorant and wrong. You then plug your ears and repeat yourself. If that's how you want to approach it, there ain't no stopping you. But stop jerking yourself off by thinking you have any level of intellectual curiosity when it comes to this topic.

No one has ever said this. If that's what you're taking from this discussion, you are a moron.

More strawmen. Yeah, the goal is to get you to stop questioning. How you set these issues up in your head is so fucking weird.
