No, that would be like telling a mother or child who has suffered domestic or sexual abuse at the hands of a black man, to not suspect all black men of having the same lack of character. And to add as a footnote, that white men can be abusive as well. It is the character of the person, not the color of the skin that is important.
It is bothersome when black people, who have risen up against inequality and racism, then express their own racism by denigrating the character of white people as a whole, instead of recognizing that color doesn't matter.
