"What does the black community have to say?"
Ever notice how posts like that appear only when the poster wants to blame black people for (insert social issue/big news story).

The Hurricane Katrina response showed in glaring detail what most of the country thinks of black people. :(

1. The Black Community...
People act like ALL black people think alike and that we're ALL responsible for the actions of a few. That's what gets on my nerves.

3. Monolithic groupthink with only one designated leader is
the decidedly conventional wisdom of too many who are permanently locked in the easy answer chair.:eyes:

4. Racism at work
The same people who say things like "what does the black community say" would never think to ask "what does the white community have to say." They have no problem seeing white people as individuals with a wide range of views, but are unwilling or unable to see black people in the same way.
