It isn't a reference to colour in itself, it was an innocent example, a reference to how you can't judge everyone in one particular group as the same even if they are in the same gang, or if they come from the same place. They might end up in that situation against their will.
I could have said hispanic instead of black and ya'll would have told me my point was that I excluded black people in the example because I thought what I said didn't apply to them, and don't have empathy with them, only hispanics. Reaching a bit I feel.
@villain So it was mostly the word savage that caused the misunderstanding then? You see, I'm not always the best at making sure I come across correctly. I didn't connect that word in any sense with colour. My point weren't exactly to compare gang-culture to these kids behaviour, especially not to excuse it if you try to imply that, but more the hypocrisy in empathy for each instance. That is why I didn't just write people but chose to pick a group. It isn't a crime to say black people have joined gangs, and some of them are indeed savages and evil people. To me that doesn't mean all gang-members are the same, even if they do throw up the gangsigns.
