In my opinion, I think that's a very good example. The mention of "that black motorists are targeted to murder", is a blanket statement. Also, see where it says "The legitimate sympathy Americans have had", which is basically a blanket statement.Sonny Clark there you have it, a perfect example of a blanket statement..I'm sorry to broadbrush like this I truly am, but this is where we're at now. While I don't think you can make a LEGITIMATE case that black motorists are targeted to murder, these Dallas officers were.
The legitimate sympathy Americans have had with these last two police shootings, is likely gone now.
As I have said many times, especially during the past few days, blanket statements are used by many, even in the news by anchors and reporters. Blanket statements are common, and their usage is equally common. We all use them.
But, try to explain this to the airheads here in the FZ and see what kind of response you get. Something as simple as a blanket statement doesn't register with the geniuses here in the flame zone. They can't grasp the concept and intent.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, it's much appreciated.
