It isn't because of their skin color, you don't act a way because the tone of your skin, but group behavior patterns can be reported and generalized regardless and they can't be ignored because you don't want to hold a group responsible. Broad generalities are how people make sense of a situation affecting many, everyone uses them and there is no need for them to apply to everyone, exceptions will always exist but they don't define the norm and though they should usually be encouraged they are ostracized by thug culture and the exceptional ones are left out to dry by more degenerate (dominate) aspects

Black people have problems and they need to work together to solve them, find a way starve off the toxic elements within their communities. Feeling sorry for them and externalizing the blame to arbitrary invisible concepts like racism don't help them.

Broad and sweeping generalities are the exact way that bigots have excused themselves forever, it's not my fault it's just the way things are deal with it. If you are too much of a coward to face a man as an individual and to judge each on his own merit then you are worthless to society.

Tyler works with " the thug element" and he lives with " the thug element" it seems that he sees "the thug element" everywhere.

And IceMage was colorblind until somebody taught him that being colorblind was being racist in it's own way??
so now he has become empowered and feels fine in drawing broad and sweeping generalities.

You empowered conservatives have just finally found somebody to tell you that your abhorrent behavior is acceptable. If you continue this way you will succeed in rebuilding whatever walls of bigotry and discrimination have been tore down over the last 30 years.

Stick around and pay attention, one day you may be able to tell when I am being serious and when I am trolling.

You call any generalizations "broad and sweeping", but that's in your own head, not mine. Perhaps you are overcompensating because you were once a racist?

I swam competitively for 13 years, so I was a racer, but nope I was a long haired hippie growing up, and too stoned in high school to hate anyone

wow 6 pages of arguing with trolls, they really got you val

their attitudes never change from thread to thread week to week, I wish it was trolls

Maybe add a couple more black faces in your signature... just to be sure.

it's all BB-King I love the Blues and got to go see him live so it's my little homage to BB, but don''t worry I'm working on one with johnny winter You'll loooooooove him

Because we don't agree with your view on generalizations we are racialists, or whatever, that is ignorant.

Generalizing is useful and should be utilized often when describing groups, I'm not scared of enabling racists or bigotry, their views aren't going to change by ignoring general facts.

B.B. King is a blues legend, my dad has played with Chuck Berry, but he's not the legend King is.

BBKing live was an experience I'll never forget, my son got me tickets for my birthday, the concert was in a smaller setting in the Peoria civic center Peoria, Il. imagine only 1/2 of a basketball court and only the bottom section of seats. The man could barely walk and was helped to a stool, but when he started to play I've never heard notes played as crystal clear, or personally watched someone become "one" with an instrument like he did with Lucille he could bend notes all night long and his face just lit up in this infectious smile when he was making music. There was this young guy that opened a white kid that played some very fine texas blues SRV style, well in the last set BB called him out to join him on stage to jam. He showed such pure love for the music and such humility in his mastery of his trade. it was the greatest concert I've ever seen, and I've seen some pretty good ones in my days.

and dude your dad played with Chuck Berry!! that's nothing to shake a stick at
