i sometimes cringe when people on this forum group all white people together as thinking ONE WAY
or for any race
it's frustrating
!!! i have learned to avoid those threads or just not go in them all together cause alot of ppl on this forum do that.. its soo many that when u point it out they all attack you and u cant get yourself outta it 
oh girl please
no one is lumping everyone together when they say those kind of things. why should people preface every comment with "most" and
"some" just to make y'all comfortable? especially when you know their main point
It's not about trying to make anyone comfortable. I wasn't offended by the blanket statement.
To me, It's about conditioning yourself to be MINDFUL of it.
There's many times I've heard blanket statements about black people, that I KNOW to be unfair and untrue, but was set forth as a "matter of fact". It was hurtful. And I noticed it created a perception, that lingered and settled into the minds of ignorant individuals.
So for me, anytime I hear blanket statements... it's just a sensitive thing for me, cause I see what seeds can be planted. For any race. Asian, black, white.
Just state the facts, and be mindful.
