[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The looting is really damaging the cause. You can tell your kids all kinds of enlightened things, but what they see on the nightly news is young African American males violently shattering glass & stealing. The looting needs to end.

For hours of film.  During daylight too.[/quote]
But you and your kids have SO MANY Black friends and surely they aren't looting and rioting so why wouldn't you and your kids be able to avoid generalizations seeing how you're so close with SO MANY upstanding Black people?[/quote]

Can you avoid generalizations like all whites are racist?[/quote]
I can indeed and I don’t make such sweeping generalizations, not in private conversations and not even behind the safe guise of anonymity on any social media platforms.  
So why are y’all drawing such ridiculous conclusions?  
Why are y’all so prone to misperception and so susceptible to stereotyping others?
Every white person always says they got at least a dozen or more close Black friends who they talk to all the time.  Why do you call or text them, or send a Facebook message, whatever, and say, “Hey, are you out there looting?”  
Odds are these great Black friends of yours who share the same values and ethics will assure you they aren’t and they denounce such activities...  Wouldn’t that serve as a clear indication that it’s not ALL Black people who are causing damage?[/quote]
