[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, people associated with BLM get upset when their group is criticized and accused of inciting violence because a few rogue actors chant disgusting things and some even act on it.  
But, the supporters say that you cannot paint BLM with such a broad brush because of the actions of a few.

That is precisely what Dyson does in this article.  He has painted “White America” with the same broad brush.  “White America” is prejudiced and blind to the struggles of the black man, according to Dyson.  
Mr. Dyson has no idea how I was raised, what I was taught, or how I feel as a white person. [/quote]I have no idea how you were raised but I can surmise by your comments that your empathy is minimal.  Words have power.  Yours and Dyson's.[/quote]

The PP is simply pointing out a fact.  Dyson's article -  poorly and simplistically written - makes the same blanket generalization throughout this piece.  not any different from someone blasting all BLM supporters for "being the same"

Dyson wants to incite racial hatred.  Any good writer would use harder stats INSTEAD of repetition to prove a point.

an emotional appeal

I think Dyson's article wasn't a particularly well written or conceptualized article, but I do not for a moment think that his intent was to incite racial hatred. I think he was expressing deep frustration and deep anger, and attempting to post challenges to white America to take responsibility for what must at the very least feel like willful ignorance of the pain and suffering that many African Americans feel.

[/quote]In the 60s, Martin Luther King Jr. was labeled a communist and troublemaker for wanting some of the same things that Dyson speaks of.  The more things change, the more they stay the same.[/quote]
