And it was for something almost as ridiculous as the time I got warned for, and I quote the mod who upheld his original verdict, "Making somebody sound evil."
Apparently it was for generalizing blacks. And since you were doing it in your very dispute I'm sure it's fair to say fair next.
Actually, you're generalizing blacks by pretending that BLM represents all blacks which, by the way, was the mod's feelings on the subject. However, even if you removed the fact that I was specifically talking about BLM, my remark *still* couldn't be construed by any reasonable standard as a generalization because the statistics by trusted survey sources like Gallup and Pew Research back it up: http://news.gallup.com/poll/175088/gallup-review-black-white-attitudes-toward-police.aspx
This underlying structural negativity toward the police among blacks has been starkly evident in the black community's reactions to the Missouri shooting death, as has been the case in each previous such incident that has received national attention.
Blacks are significantly more likely than whites to see their local police as mainly enforcers (39% vs. 26%) and less likely to see officers as both protectors and enforcers (43% vs. 57%).
And, of course, the fact that BLM is anti-police is the prevailing, mainstream belief and therefore uncontroversial to everybody except the social justice crowd: About nine-in-ten officers (92%) say the protests were motivated by bias toward the police, including 68% who say this was a great deal of the reason behind the demonstrations. A smaller but still substantial 79% majority of the public agrees that prejudice against the police provided at least some of the impetus for the protests, including 41% who see this as a major motivation.
Conversely, the claim I was responding to -- which was an actual generalization and offensive (calling all cops racist and aggressive) -- was completely untouched. Just shows where the mods stand-- ie, on the very far-left.
All of this is irrelevant since you in that very dispute said "many blacks are anti-cop" which is a racist generalization so undoubtedly you did one in your actual post too
Which references back to the original comment that many blacks support BLM, which is an anti-cop movement.... However, clearly not all blacks are BLM supporters -- nor did I accuse all blacks of being so (nor would I, since erroneously accusing somebody of supporting BLM is an insult in itself given the group's history of violent protests) -- which is why it's not a generalization. Compare that to the comment I was replying to which implied that all cops are racists who beat up/murder people, ie an ACTUAL generalization.
Unless you're trying to argue that many blacks don't support BLM, at which point I'd encourage you to look at a BLM rally. ---
