No, I am asking a question that a lot of folks want to know the answer too as well.

little boys getting rape at an astronomical number is okay


You have a link or article stating Catholics are okay with little boys getting raped? I find it absolutely horrible and these individuals are being prosecuted. The actions of a few don't incriminate the whole.

So when someone calls you out, you appeal to emotion and project. Interesting.

Pay taxes, volunteer, and go to high school career fairs and get young folks of all color fired up about Engineering and show them how rewarding it can be.

In high school, I did over 800 hours of community service through West Jeff's AFJROTC.

What have you done?

I find it hilarious only because my GF spent 230 bucks on a new pair of New Balances + Insoles this past weekend.

But to be fair, if someone circulated a meme homogenizing black people into a starter kit, that person would probably be demonized.

Wait, i thought we are supposed to be judged on individual character and not the skin color we may share with others......

Is there something in my post you replied to that say I judge folks based on color?

I thought I have been pretty clear on my questions.

Yes? How is that any different from me saying the white community needs to work on its image for opioids?

Are you trying to say that as long as the color of the person is black, I will assume this about them?

Because that's not true. In fact, I tend to let people's actions decide how I feel about them.

My co-worker is white but by your assumptions, you would think I immediately think he's suffering from opioid addiction?

People need to quit defining themselves by racial "community," for real.

T-bird I totally understand the sentiment here. So how do we go about starting this process?

When you make statements as such, you are generalizing everyone in that statement. So when you say that they need to work on their image it includes everyone of that demographic.

You sincerely don't believe that I think every white person is on opioids / have an opioid addiction.

As well as the same for black folks.

That's illogical.
