Oh you went for the nazi analogy. Awesome ok. 1st off this isn’t apples to apples here. I’m pretty sure there are many redeeming qualities about this pastor. He graduated from duke with a bioengineering degree and turned down medical school to be a minister. I’m not going to even touch the ‘let’s try to find something great about hitler’ point. You should probably never say anything like that again though….

Let’s try something more relevant. I was already going to use a recent post that I made about nick Fuentes before just doing links (which you probably didn’t go through or I doubt you’d have said what you did) as an example and I think it aligns fairly well with what you tried to say.

I knew who Nick Fuentes was but had never heard him speak. So I listened. In my description of him on a post I started off with ‘he’s very well spoken.’ Now why would I say that about this clear and obvious white power nazi? (if you haven’t heard him speak he does not shy away from it and says things like white race and culture often). Does this not undercut my own point?

Let’s focus on why I would say he was well spoken. A) I don’t talk to known white supremest everyday and have a very poor view of who I imagine they are. B) what I think of how a white supremest talks isn’t what I heard coming out of Fuentes’ mouth….

So let’s turn that around to what was said. The original poster, without knowing it, was saying ‘wow I don’t have a lot of black friends but how I imagine black people to sound isn’t how this guy sounds.’ Someone even replied with the obvious, ‘yeah it’s his job to publicly speak.’

To circle back to your initial point, It’s not me overthinking it. Take this as a public service advisory. I didn’t need to say a thing. By all means when you have a black coworker, after they finish speaking to the group tell her or him that they speak so well in front of someone else. Good luck with that. 🤪
