@Chad Ellis you said “level playing field”, and that indeed is my intention of offering coaching.
I don’t know if folks are still reading this far down in the thread, but here goes:
The original post asked, “What are you doing ... that effectively addresses racial disparity in home ownership?”.
Let’s say the topic question was instead, “What are you doing to address climate change?”. Why would you even bother answering, “I don’t believe in climate change.”? I mean really, why even post? It certainly doesn’t help folks who went to the thread looking for climate change solutions.
I’m not saying what you should believe, or not believe. Nor am I questioning your right to your opinion.
I’m saying that the whole purpose of the BP community, at least I thought anyway, was to be helpful. Disputing the very question is simply not helpful to those whose goal it was to seek solutions to the stated problem. Why would you go out of your way to effectively waste the time of your fellow community members? If instead you want to have a debate on whether “climate change” is real, or matters, that’s a different topic. Go start it. Instead what you’ve done is made those who came to this thread for its intended purpose to stop reading. I was frankly hoping for better from this community.
Hi.
I wasn’t intending to distract from your offer to mentor and help people. I’m sorry if it seemed otherwise. You and I are on the same side, although I can’t tell from your reply if you realize that.
My only intent was to give the “climate change deniers” of this thread a chance to see a real world application of the problem they claim doesn’t exist.
The original intent of this post was hijacked by people who—at best—need more education or—at worst—are purposely trying to argue against progress and justice.
I know you’re one of the good guys, but telling me not to engage with people who are pushing false narratives because it wasn’t the original question in the thread isn’t helping anyone, and I honestly don’t understand why you wrote such a long response trying to chastise me.
Did you read what I posted? It’s educational for everyone, especially those of us struggling to find the right ways to help.
