You also don't have to care what anyone else's image is but if that's the case, don't flip out if they state what their impression is.
I haven't been mean, so please don't take this as an opportunity to come at me.

I'm definitely about to come at you, but not in a mean way. Ok, first of all, are you saying that we have to be accepting of people's impressions at all times? Because the bottom line is you needn't talk about what you don't know about. Until you (Hoosier) have your hands on our DOCUMENTS you DON'T know anything about what you are talking about. And I don't care if someone told you something or not. What, now everyone's word is bond? Everyone speaketh the truth? So if you have an uninformed opinion, I have to accept that? Because we can talk about images all day long. Because I can spit images of traditionally White GLOs all day long, and I'm willing to bet my next paycheck you wouldn't like half of them. All an image is is a STEREOTYPE. And I don't have to accept that crap at all. And if I want to flip out over it, that's MY choice. Whether or not I care about the image is really inconsequential if it is perpetuating a stereotype that affects not only me but my organization and my community at large. So have a little respect and keep your uninformed opinions and stereotypical images to yourself. Otherwise, it's about to be open season up in here. I hardly ever respond to topics like these, but I'm ready now. So if you ready (Hoosier), bring it. We can go tit for tat. You up for it? And I'm not talking about your opinions anymore, I'm talking concrete FACTS and STATISTICS.
