  1. Generalizations do a lot of harm and are virtually never useful.
  2. This is one of the silliest generalizations I’ve ever encountered. R&B is a great and beautiful genre of music, with a huge range of listeners and artists — tens of millions of people who absolutely do not fit one profile or few profiles.
  3. Would you also assert that some other genre (C&W, for ex.) draws troubled people just because of a few bad apples? Or that all people in the medical profession are abusers because Dr. Larry Nassar is?
  4. No one — not even a board-certified psychologist (I’m pretty sure you aren’t one) — can tell at a glance that someone is “not quite right.”
  5. “Not quite right” isn’t a clinical term, it’s a judgment — and it’s a pretty loaded judgment at that. Dog-whistle much?
