The problem is that you send an implicit message--maybe not one you mean to, but you send it nonetheless--by associating these statements with each other.

Why do you think Van G commented on that particular part of your post if not to clarify that the statement itself was fine--just the place it was used was not?

By apposing "white people are just better than us"--the clearest example of white supremacist propaganda--and I-see-good-and-bad-in-both, you tarnish the latter phrase, which is universally humanizing, with the justly-deserved pejorative attitude towards the other. You follow up almost immediately afterwards with charges of white superiority attitude, further strengthening the aspersion cast on that phrase.

You said that I was "short-sighted in comprehension" but I think the opposite was true: I was looking too carefully at context and what leads to the decision to place that statement in that position.

You are free to write how you wish, but if you don't mean to disparage statements that highlight our common humanity, you may wish to be more careful in the future. Although I was the only one who commented, a few people clapped (presumably indicating that they had the same thought), and Van G commented too (indicating that he also picked up on something--"one of these things is not like the others").
