Do you think people really comprehend what they read? I posted "Pulling the race card or does racism still exist? Do you think racism still exist?
I qualified the question by saying " I just read where a young lady said "Black people want to be superior" based on that statement I asked the above question.
One of the replies was " wow. you are a perfect example of a form of racism - why are you trying to eneralize entire groups of ppl...very ignorant..and you're extremely naive if you think racism doesnt exist honey...get educated fast. "
I do not think she read or comprehended the question as I made no generalizations of any kind. I never was inclusive of any group saying all black people or all asian people, etc. Yet I was called a racist the funny thing is I am a minority person of color. One young lady said I must not be a minority.
NEW QUESTION. Has skimming rather than reading and drawing inferences rather than comprehending become the new trend?

most people are in too much of a hurry to read the whole thing, let alone care whether they actually comprehend it.

people often read what they want to into other's questions and statements, it's a common human frailty. So I think it has always been this way, so no, it isn't a new trend, it's old news.
By the way, racism will persist as long as people see themselves as different from one another instead of seeing the similiarities in all human beings. No matter their skin color, all who see themselves as different promote racism.

Most people on here can read. Barely. If you ask a question in a forum that is likely to be uneducated, and ask deep questions, or lengthy ones, you think you will get deep answers in return?
