It's such an interesting question of 'speaking for each other'. It is not uncommon for white people or men to interrupt me while trying to educate about and speak against prejudices. I guess we need models for support which make interrupting or replacing impossible? Or maybe where people are good at identifying where it is that the speaking-for is necessary.
