I can't speak for psulli, but I read his comment as more of a "thank you" and not as a "you have an obligation to inform me." That said, I agree that it's not 8bit or anyone else's job to educate us on any topic. Period. However, I am grateful for the times 8bit chose to share a snapshot of what it was like to be him, in the same way as I appreciate hearing honest and candid writings and tellings from any number of people on Hubski with any myriad of life challenges. -is this an obligation that any of us have? No. Is it nice to gain perspective from others? Yes. I grew up in a town right next to Howell Michigan. When I was a kid the grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan lived in Howell. In my entire school, I was one of two Hispanic kids. The rest were all white with the exception of the Wu family. The other Hispanic kid was my little brother. Socially, it was rough for a while but I can't even imagine what it would have been like to be the black kid named Josh that moved to our school in the third grade. That kid had it rough. Think police discriminate? Try middle-aged white school teachers and soccer moms. Anyways, I digress. Point is, I'm grateful for those that share their perspectives and first hand experiences, though in no-way-is-it-their-obligation and I agree that it must be very tiring.
