The first statement alone does not negate the second statement.

The first statement does not imply black men are perfect and beyond reproach.

And It's also okay to say the first statement, without reflexively having to make the second statement.



Do this thought experiment. Consider the statement "It's not okay to hate jewish people". Does that statement require any caveats, follow-up statements or knee jerk responses? Of course not, it can stand on it's own full stop.

Same way it would be uncontroversial to say you can't be pro-black and hate black women. You know that statement wouldn't cause the controversy that the first statement started.

Why?
