(9,610 posts)The way I see it, AA do not like to be all grouped as thugs and gang bangers, and they do not deserve it. Hispanics do not like to all be grouped as border jumpers and illegal aliens. In the same light, white men do not like to all be grouped as bigots and barriers to progress. It seems simple to me. Maybe it is not.
About 100 or so days ago, I had 4 posts hidden within 10 minutes. I was ticked off because there had been a number of cop killings in the news. I broad brushed all cops in the same light. Said the exact same statement 4 times in four threads. All my posts got alerted and hidden. Not because I attacked any one individual or DUer (because I did not), but because I lumped the whole group "COPS" into the same negative light. In hindsight, it was wrong for me to do that, though at the time I felt very justified in my statement.
