thank you for this post. It sounds reasonable to me.

I want to know when the NFB has ever asked me or any of you to apologize for our being White, for our geographic location, or our religious beliefs? The only thing I've been asked to do is accept that not everyone in our circle shares these characteristics with me. At no point have I ever been asked to leave my other characteristics at the door and just be blind. I have been accepted as a package and have felt prized as a member. I want to extend that to others as it has been extended to me. How to implement do unto others is harder than asserting it as one of my values, but I'm willing to undertake the challenge, and I think my brothers and sisters in the NFB are willing to do the same.
