Well said. And thanks for the reminder. I'm a loudmouthed, opinionated white guy. Like you, I find that I have to actively stop myself from dominating conversations with my opinions. It's something that causes me some anguish.
So, if any of my friends read this, here's a plea for help (and an invitation): If ever I talk over you, interrupt you, or otherwise squish out someone's contribution to a discussion or conversation without really good cause, please call me on it. A simple "excuse me, I'd like to finish what I was saying" will do it. You'll be helping to make me a better and happier person.
