When trump says that Mexicans are drug dealers and rapists, you believe that he wasn't smearing all Mexicans just because he said "Mexicans are rapists" instead of "all Mexicans are rapists".
Word games and semantics are not the point of my post. I see division as a boon to the russian desire to create discord in the country. Such broad brush attacks are not helpful. I did not argue the issues in the article, only the language that, while personally satisfying, only generates the kind of ill will and counters the unity needed to confront the evil in our country.
If you don't mean to say "all white people are racist" don't say "white people are racist". Hiding behind the omission of the word "all" is an excuse that racist politicians of the south have used forever.
