Larry Bowditch,
Carrollton, TX
Time after time in meetings and discussions with white people my input on a topic goes without acknowledgment until another person, usually white, brings up the identical idea, which then is acknowledged as a great idea. I’m sitting there thinking, “Didn’t I just say that?” I used to rationalize it away with the thought, “Maybe they just didn’t hear me “, now I’m feeling “they just didn’t want to hear me”, especially after someone else in the meeting says “that’s what Larry said”.
My thoughts matter, don’t ignore me!
