[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Willie, I'm not proud ot know anyone who belongs to a group who hates other
people.  all I am saying is that blind people, as well as other groups,
whether they be majority/minority, etc., have thoughts and attitudes about
others which are positive or negative, and blind people are a crossection of
the general population, and I also stated that blind people aren't in a
different "world" than non-disabled people--non-blind--sighted people.  that's
what I meant.  If you read my story, you would note that a person--sighted
person--thought that somehow we wouldn't do the same thing sighted people
do--and that person was surprised that someone who was blind would join the
KKK.  I also mentioned examples of stereotyping by lots of people.  That's
all.  I am surprised that Bill, a blind person, would have been surprised that
a blind person would join the KKK.  that's all.
