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

Well by saying work on its image for opioids, you clarify it. So in that sentence you are calling out white people that are addicted to opioids, not all white people.

Are you trying to say that as long as the color of the person is black, I will assume this about them?
You said black community, so anyone black falls under one community by your assertion.

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

Yet you called out the entire black community. Anyone black falls under that category.

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

See my first sentence

Monty, you’ve made some valid points, but you’re contradicting yourself throughout that post.

This includes many racial groups. Therefore, your attempted analogy falls flat.

Are you an American citizen? If so, Donald J. Trump is your president, as well.

People of many creeds are concerned about said genocide/genocidal threats in South Africa and many countries.

Again, your attempt at an analogy is found wanting.

Do better.

Be better.

People see power in numbers, pack mentality. The thing is that there is much that encompasses one person and each person can be apart or identify with many groups that even overlap with some, or people, that may oppose them in some ways.

Damn kids need to work harder and get a management position.

Their stock share price dropped 3 DOLLARS and hasn't recovered yet, that's called tanking my friend and translates to billions, Nike's big enough to recover in the long run (maybe, since this is Colin Kaepernick after all) but the market's agreeing with me at this point

Nikes growth market is China/Asia. That doesn't mean the USA is irrelevant, but they have a pretty strong hold here that won't be impacted long term because of this. Nobody over there is one bit concerned about this whole deal.
