I can see what you're trying to say. I agree with you... we should wait and let him deal with it on his own time. I've seen a lot of complaints from my friends and it wasn't just Target. Some of the complained about Wegmans, Walmart, SAM Club, etc. They have this quick assumption that if it happens to one, it happens to all. When I made that post, I was trying to use the psychological test that some people are giving. It helps to understand how they connect things. Some people misunderstand some of those statements. Here are some: Snowball scratched and cut my finger. Snowball is my cat. Therefore, all cats will scratch me. - I hate Dominoes. Dominoes is a pizza place. Therefore, I hate all pizzas.
Those are two examples of false assumptions that people make. A good assumption would be: I hate Dominos. Dominos is a pizza place. Therefore, I might like Papa Johns or Pizza Hut. - Snowball scratched me. Snowball is a cat. Therefore, other cats might not scratch me.
No, it's not just Target that seems to have this problem. There are other companies that have this problem too. It's the media that exposes this problem that makes people think or assume wrong. I recently did some research on an issue similar to this. From what I've researched, it's the minority group that recognizes itself as a problem. A white man is fired from work and a black man hears about it. That black man isn't gonna care. A black man is fired from work and another black man hears about it. That black man is gonna get suspicious and raise concerns about it. A child is neglected by parents. Deaf people read it and think it's bad. A deaf child is neglected by parents. Deaf people read it and are outraged. Why? Blacks identify themselves and go in defense mode with another of the same. Deafs are like that too.
I see it happen here at RIT/NTID all the time. A hearing student fails the class. Deaf students hear it happen and don't care much about it. A deaf student fails the class. Deaf students hear it happen and get upset with accusations that the teacher hates the student cuz he or she is deaf.
I know that this sounds like I'm against you or everyone on the Target issue. Maybe Target does have a problem, but I know it isn't just Target. Other companies do the same and we shouldn't jump to conclusions with them like that. If we were to jump to conclusions every time this happened, almost every company in the United States would be sued like this.
Of course, I would be interested in seeing what happens to this situation. Let me know what happens.
