You accuse me of twisting your words, so I responded exclusively with your own words. "Selective quoting"? Sure, I guess. Rather than quoting an entire post, I sometimes choose the words describing the idea that I am specifically responding to. I do it to clarify, not misrepresent. You say, "Acknowledging a reality is not the same as endorsing a practice." I respectfully disagree. Again, I'm not talking about demographics. I don't disagree with you on that point. However, I do disagree with the idea that addressing the lack of black voices is a conversation that is decades too late and of little use. If that's not what you were saying in your original post, then we have no quarrel that I am aware of.
