Black or White Fallacy

The black or white fallacy is basically a statement that is narrowed down to two choices when more options exist. Politics being popular right now, a perfect example of this would be your part of a polotical party (Democrats,Republicans) or your against them. In reality there is an in-between, Indpendent. Black or white fallacy is a perfect name for this type of fallacy. Its either black or white, not red, green, blue or any other color. In order to avoid this type of fallacy, you need to have knowledge about what your talking about. Looking at all perspectives would be beneficial, knowing all aspects of the idea, and not taking an extreme stance for a certain argument.
