I think it’s perfectly legitimate to offer interpretations that are different from those of the people being studied. We shouldn’t ignore what people think, but if we accept those interpretations and stop there, we miss a lot. Some people – that jury in Florida, for example – might claim that there is not an milligram of racism in their thoughts or actions. Should we accept that at face value? Or might we risk imposing our own interpretation and attributing a different meaning, especially when we see a broader pattern of similar actions?Jay Livingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652075579940313964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35248477.post-80314044195822747152014-02-16T19:38:48.267-05:002014-02-16T19:38:48.267-05:00Seems to me you've missed the real point of th...Seems to me you've missed the real point of the article.
