made a generalization about the "mass decentralized movement" BLM ?

You agree that it is wrong to generalize right ?

You never said anything to the author of that thread.

So you only object when it's a racist generalization ?
That is really good work. But what I'm seeing is that legitimate work like this is taking a backseat to issues that are sexier and issues that don't concern the majority of the black population. Like whether the police are allowed to march in a gay pride parade. Or white university professors staying home for a day of absence. Or whether we should ban the use of the word 'Phenotype'.
I think it's fair to say that BLM leadership is outta touch with common black people. Their agenda is skewed towards the experience of middle-class, privileged university students who have a post-modern Marxist worldview. This is not a common idealogy in black communities. The friction between BLM and other factions of the Ferguson protests seemed to be the first sign of this...at least that I'm aware of. I'm suggesting that this divide is growing."
Any of these paragraphs considered racist generalizations ?
