White unarmed youth shot and killed by Black Police Officer

Quote:Calling a statistical trend a generalization amounts to little more than race hustling.

 

How would you convey those statistics in a way that wouldn't come across as offensive? They are simple statistics. Just because they don't support your argument doesn't make them a racist thing.
 

Its a generalization if the person cant separate the categories, like using "some". Its has nothing to do with race hustling, just simple common sense.

 

For the record, I never said his generalization was offensive to me, I just simply said he was incorrect. Since he didn't  marginalize those statistics, he left open the interpretation for someone to believe he is referring to a race in its entirety.  

 

Quote:He never once insinuated that it was EVERY SINGLE person. You injected that on your own accord.
 

We will see once he modifies his comment then. 

Whether someone has a liberal, or conservative viewpoint, a authoritative figure should not lock a thread for the sole purpose to get the last word in all the while prohibiting someone else from being able to respond.
