[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow so like I'm peeping some of the comments and folks is really laying it all out there about how much they despise blacks and it got me wondering, say a black person works in an office on Constitution Avenue (keywords: ceramic coffee mugs) is that black person a savage sub-human animal too or is it just the ones rioting in Charlotte, NC?  
I'm asking because I have a colleague that frequents DCUM and I'm curious as to whether he/she is feigning respect and amity.[/quote]
Another fine example of twisting and overstating then asking a question in an attempt to legitimize the rhetoric. [/quote]

It always baffles me. I am white, hispanic, female and catholic. When someone speaks out against a white person - I don't automatically think they are talking about me. Speak out against the actions of a hispanic - don't automatically think they feel that way about me. Feel one way about a female - don't assume you feel that way about all females. Judge the actions of the catholic church - don't automatically think you are judging me.

Why then is it if you say I don't like the actions of that african american automatically equal that you MUST be racist and hate all african americans?[/quote]

It is very rare that anyone gets upset with criticism of a single black person unless that criticism is obviously racist. What you are ignoring are generalized statements about black people that are very common, even unfortunately on this forum. While you might not be bothered by criticism of a single individual with whom you have something in common, you likely are bothered at times by certain negative statements that are broadly aimed Catholics, women, Hispanics, or whites.
