Yup. You demonstrate an awareness, a conscientiousness, that's too rare.
I've been in gatherings (eg board meetings) where someone will presume to speak on behalf of others. While one of those others is sitting right there, trying to be heard.
Not helpful.
And super awkward.
Which reminds me... That All Gas No Breaks guy did a terrific segment about those "antifa" & "BLM" protests in Portland Oregon. Standard in person interviews with a bunch of bored white kids just looking for a fight.
Then the genius bit: No Breaks sought out blacks and asked them about the protests. He just let's them talk, in that great way that he does.
Punchline: the blacks interviewed stated the belligerents a) were missing the point (to listen to black people) and b) were making it that much harder for blacks to be heard.
Typical.
