Why is saying "blacks" generally OK, but saying "the blacks" is racist?

I was just lectured on this by a liberal. She never actually answered my question.

Usually followed by some false rhetoric that's why.

By saying "the blacks" you are assuming a groups racial identity. This is like walking into a room of women and asking "How y'all ladies doing tonight?"

Clearly no longer acceptable in PC America.

The blacks have faded from my tattoos.

The blacks are fading from my paint job.

The blacks in your irises are gorgeous.

"The blacks in America have a culture that promotes failure."

Racist?

Calling it culture is a stretch

Arbitrary bullshite. Same as saying "people of color" is fine vs colored people. I say colored people and no one says anything because I am brown but if a white person says something, they get all pissed off. Just say what you want. Half of the shite I say with regards to PC stuff is shite to piss off the SJWs.

I'm pretty much at the Clint Eastwood of Grand Torino's stage in life, I could care less bout PC & give respect to those I deem deserve it. All the rest, their problem, not mine & if they don't like it/me, they can just deal with it.Way past giving a shite bout what someone thinks of me.

If you omit "The" and insert the word 'some' at the beginning or omit "a" and insert 'some' then your statement is irrefutable.

Without that you are assuming that the blacks all have the same culture and that is not true.

I never liked the terms "blacks" or "whites" or "Jews."

It's classifying individuals as something other than people first IMO. I'm not a race, I'm a person.
