    But you’re still demonizing these people. And generalizing. I can say, “I know it’s society that has created this false construct of race! But I just think black people need to have more respect because they leave their used needles everywhere and destroy property.”

    Now. That’s not exactly 1:1, but I’m trying to make the point that it doesn’t matter if you say “I know it’s society” when you turn around and keep heaving blame on the victims of those societal ills.

      They demonize themselves. If I was homeless I would be jaded and trashing the place too.

      Still a product of a failed society.

      You talk like the mayor of my city, who definitely doesn’t let any homeless people sleep in the many spare rooms in her mansion.
