What to say when intervening.

"What do I say in the moment to help somebody who said something inappropriate? What could I say in that moment? Hey, that's not cool. What was that one over here? Hey, I'm sorry that happened. Let me look into it first. What do I say to the person who made the comment? There's a brilliant one. I don't think you meant it that way. Here's the thing though, you said, "But," and I'm gonna tell you to change that to, "And." If you ever use a but statement, it means everything I said before wasn't true. That's how the mind hears it. So I don't think you meant it that way and that's why I wanted to talk to you. Imagine if I said, "I don't think you meant it that way, but that's why I wanted to talk to you." It doesn't sound right at all actually. Sounds very contradictory. So we don't actually wanna do that."
