quote Originally posted by Formula88: I treat individuals as individuals. When I see a group mentality like this, I'll treat the entire group that way regardless of the demographics of the group. I'm sure there are non-blacks supporting the BLM hate rhetoric. If one supports and ascribes to the group's values, then I have no problem making my judgements based on the behavior of the group as a whole until an individual shows me otherwise. I don't have to touch every glowing red stovetop to know I'll get burned. Once I've learned what to expect from one, I can reasonably expect the same from any others exhibiting the same behavior, and the color paint on the stove doesn't matter.

Well said. The more crap they cause, whether blacks, muslims or whatever of the day, the more I dislike them all within their race. To me its guilt by association. Hang with the bad guys, or dont do anything about them...and your just as bad. Sorry, but thats just the way it is.

ditto,,

but I also understand where Roger is coming from..
if the civilized blacks put their foot down on what the looters/rioters/thugs/gang bangers/etc do.. we'd be better off
if the "peaceful" muslums put their foot down and did something about the true followers of islam... we'd be better off..
if the whites put their foot down on what the skin heads do, Oh wait, they do..
if the Catolics put their foot down to groups like the Wilkesboro Baptist Church   oh wait they do..

Cosby and J.J.Walker were huge on telling blacks to stop blaming whitie.. for their problems..
look what happened to Cosby.. to shut him up.. When J.J. was interviewed about the black lives matter,, his reply was... No comment I don't need the machine destroying me too..
It was a message to anyone that dared go against the narrative , fight us and we will destroy you..
so most blacks with a mike in front of them will never tell their brothers to stop the shiiiiiiiittttttt..... Chris rock does, but most think it's just part of his comic set.. so he gets a pass..

Correct, I was referring to supporters of BLM (or any group) independent of race.
But I get where Roger's coming from.

I blame all people for not putting their foot down on it, independent of race.
