it first asks you to make your own judgement, without being swayed or influenced by somebody else's judgement.

So you might look at a post and think

1) This post is racist
or
2) What is the problem with this post?

Whereas if you first read the opinion "this post is racist" when you look at the post you might more easily see racism.

Then having seen somebody else's opinion that a post is objectionable, you can evaluate it again, and make one of two conclusions

1) aha, they are right, I do see the racism now
or
2) no, I think they are misreading that.
or
3) it could go either way
