hq, I don't think you're being serious when you respond that way.

I said what I said in the context of the posts and the articles linked to in the posts. You may go back and read or reread them to help you understand. Also, I'm not suggesting that groups are monoliths. But there are groups, "black americans", "white americans", "rioters", these are just a few recently discussed examples.

As for grouping and groups, it's obvious to me, and many others, that groups are a useful organizing concept. I'm sure you knew that.

V,

Yeah, I was pokin' at you.

But, seriously...

Surely, there are blacks who see police as whites (supposedly) do?

It's not groupings I object to but the assumption that ALL of a group feel or think the same way.
