LOL. Then you did not grasp my extreme example.

Power is power whether it involves killing, whistling, groping, firing someone, not hiring someone, etc and etc and etc.

I grasped it and understood what you were saying. I just did not agree.

Power is power is true, but the application of power is where the disagreement comes in.

No, you didn't grasp it which prevents you from being able to agree or disagree.

I'm not the one that is still commenting on it.

I'm still having the debate because outside of this conversation nothing else is really going on in here. So I have no problem debating with somebody that disagrees because I can learn a lot from the other perspective. Now if you want to break it down further or show me where I am wrong I'm open for it. Doesn't mean I don't grasp it, prove me wrong.

Where do we disagree?

I really would like to know.

Only on the extreme use of the Emmitt Till example. I understood what you were saying, I just don't believe it necessarily applies in this case.

That's all? Uh. Okay. What a cliff hanger.

Sooo...uh...do you see how you can rally behind a purpose without rallying behind a person?

The application of power is the same thing as "power is power." I am talking about common themes and underlying assumptions in all of this. I am not talking about specific thought processes and behaviors. That's why what this woman had on is noteworthy but not groundbreaking and conclusive.
