IMPROPER FRAMING....

Framing a problem or its solution, unreasonably, can make a remedy too daunting and intimidating to try. It can discourage and exasperate the unsophisticated without more. A prime example of this is the use of the word "all," or the phrase "when we all get together." Usually applied respecting African American disparities or problems, as framed, the resolution is impossible, because "all" will never do anything, never have. Another improperly framed solution, which projects its framer's implicit futility, is the suggestion that "the only way" to do such-and-such a thing is by doing "this or that." There are at least two ways to do anything and often many more. So "only" is untrue. Maybe you can think of other negative cliche's bandied about that are equally tainted!
