I wouldn't call it privilege, she just got lucky she ran into cops who were actually doing their job.

And with the LAPD that truly is a blessing.

About time, somebody posted this. Been waiting for that. Gotta rep+ you for that. I wouldn't call it black privilege. Them cops are true human. They didn't let their personal feelings get in the way. They took greater risk than other cops. I'm proud of them cops. Those are the real cops. It a shame they don't get a lot of attention.

updated: Lee Boyd Malvo wasn't "race motivated!"

He was putting a bullet in random people. Google "victims of Lee Boyd Malvo" you will see all of them are not white. So terrible example.

Well .. Quite a opinion reversal there. Still, nice that we have established that there is no privilege involved, its more like Good Cop and Bad Cop scenario. Cheerios.

Also, Well I dont make the memes and Eliot Rogers actually killed more men than women and still called a misogynistic person. So there can be minor inconsistencies.

We can't have a conversation until you acknowledge that "White privilege" do exist. Sorry.

I should acknowledge something that doesn't exist. Alright.
Not talking to someone because they have another opinion? Very clever.

You didn't really occupy with the situation in America.

The only things media reports is, White cop kills Black.
"unjustified" "unarmed" "wanted to go to college" "church every sunday" "wanted to change his life"....... You can read it in every article.
Most of them resisted the police, run, had weapons, and and and.

You should try to understand that if you would be in the cops situation, you would've done the same. At some point they have to use their weapons.
I'm not saying all of them deserve to die imo, but surly most of them.

There's no difference if you're Black or White. The only difference is that the media reports White on Black crimes to poke a race war.
The funny/sad thing is, you don't get that you're being used.
They, who have to decide what media will show you, don't care about White or Black. They just know that, obviously, a lot of Black people fall for it.

Why?
To distract you from real issues like -war (every war America began was unjustified and/or a false flag)
-economic crisis
-common core (if you would really occupy with common core, you would see it does nothing good for you, your children and the generations after them).



There are two big topics right now: Black against Whites
Woman against man

You don't get that you who support it, accomplish nothing. It's the opposite.
You should really think about everything and inform yourself about the topic and not just what media shows you.

Guess what, police does kill whites too. Black cops kill Whites too. You don't see it in the media nor you see people crying about it like you do.

White privilege exists in every facet of society(As do many, many other privileges). You're blind to the facts.

White privilege exists. No need to deny it in your conspiracy-induced rant.

I'd be hesitant to talk about problems here if you don't actually live here.

Sure, just go cry a little more and see what you get.
You know where I live?

It does not.

Don't tell me you're talking about male privilege.

So, uhm, I'm blinded by facts that speaks in favour of my opinion. Nice.

There's male privilege and female privilege. There's so many types of privilege.

White privilege definitely exists. But before I start, I agree with someone who mentioned above that if you don't live here then you probably shouldn't speak on the issue lol And there are a lot of international members.

Anyway, a lot of the statistics that are reported are done solely on the poor population of blacks vs. Whites, yea black people in poverty commit more crimes than white people in poverty, but they don't show the statistics when it comes to middle class and rich black people. White people of middle class and upper class status actually commit more crimes than black people of the same status, so that obviously says something here, there is more of a problem with the poor population, but there's always going to be crime in poverty, and considering black people were enslaved, thrown into poverty, introduced to drugs and weapons, I don't really know what the outcome expected was.

I think this video represents white privilege to some degree, but it's not representing the strongest case possible. White privilege is a white person getting a job because their name is Brittany vs. Lashonda, who both have the same qualifications, white sounding names get picked over black sounding names more often, it's been proven in studies. White people get more leniency on the same crimes black people commit, black people will get incarcerated and sentenced for longer times then white people on the same crimes committed, so one could argue there is a definite descrimination against black people then white people.

White people definitely have forms of privilege over black people, Dylan Roof was labeled as a teen with problems, after killing nine people, yet most unarmed black people are labeled monsters. A kid by the name of John Crawford was shot at a local walmart in my city for carrying a fake rifle, someone above mentioned a similar scenario with a white person where the police walked up to him calmly...hmmm? Get what I'm saying?

This video shows how lenient the cops are with white people, who knows what would've happened if she was black. There is a definite discrimination against blacks in many aspects, if you can't see it, fine, I won't force you to see truth, but know that you may be part of an ongoing problem; People who refuse to see white privileg.

You're really idotic if you still think so.
Blacks enslaved Blacks, then sold them to Whites to make profit. Guess what after they sold them, the just got themselves some new slaves.

OT: White privilege doesn't exist. Ya'll too influnced by media, it's ridiculous and sad to see so many people can't think on their own.
Those guys in the videos are right, Black live matter movement is a joke. Nothing more, nothing less.

Black people just really think they're right and that their "innocent" Black brothers and sisters get killed because they're Black.




Why is it so that only if a Black person gets killed by a White person it's a race crime but not if a White person gets killed by a Black person?
That's racism.







Yeah guess what, in America are much more Whites than Blacks. Therefor there are more White people buying them, you don't have to be a genius to know that.

Even if Whites buy more weapons (Blacks/thugs mostly get them illegal), if you calculate the percentage of White crimes and Black crimes with weapons you see that Blacks commit more.




That's what I wanted to post now. xD

OP there you have your video.
Now never talk about sh!t like White privilege again, you are proven wrong.

No actually, but you are a racist. It has been proven that the number of blacks in America is highly comparable to Whites, and even so, in proportion, whites own more guns, and the baseless notion that more blacks get them illegally, is racist. And unrelated to you is PT1990 saying more blacks are racist than whites which entirely untrue, being as blacks actually have a reason, and are still more accepting that whites for the most part.
Now whites also commit a very comparable amount of violent crimes, and also commit many more racially motivated crimes than blacks.

The comparison you made with the DC Sniper is also off, as the bulletproof vests are extremely necessary, and he was not taken to burger king and basically pampered on his way to jail. These are also during different social periods, where people weren't looked at as very threatened and they weren't gunning down blacks every other day.

Simply put, white privilege is undeniable, and FAR greater than this nonexistent black privilege. Blacks are already at incredible disadvantages due to our people being enslaved while whites created multi generational wealth, and when we were released, we were released without land, or anything to own.

And anyone who denies that police subconsciously or consciously look at blacks as a danger to society is a racist. You are a racist.

Actually, this thread is over, blacks make 74¢ for every dollar a white makes, for doing the same jobs. That's an extra 26 cents, given away. That is a pure example of white privilege.

But I'll drink your white tears if you try and deny it.

It absolutely boggles my mind that you Americans can seriously mean this kind of stuff. You're absolutely obsessed with race. Every time people of different racial backgrounds interact in any way you people start sniffing for 'racial motivations' and 'racism' like it's going out of style.

Why is it a racial issue? Why not a social issue?
I mean, some of the stuff you say is incredibly misleading. Like, I can't tell you whether blacks and whites commit a similar amount of violent crimes, but what I can tell you is that blacks make up 12.61 of the population where whites make up 72.41 ( ). If they commit an equal amount of violent crimes... you see the problem, right?
Blacks are overrepresented in national crime statistics. Very much so. That's not racism, it's not bias, it's not racial prejudice; it's just fact. Even if half of the crimes committed by blacks were fabrications they would still be overrepresented ( ).

Now, before you start typing up a whole list of reasons why American police departments are racist and terrible I think we should get a few things out of the way: Do police officers pull over, search, question and otherwise 'target' blacks more than they do whites? Statistics would say yes, yes they do. Are federal prosecutors more likely to push for mandatory minimum when they face black and Latino defendants? Yes, statistics say they are. ( ) Do most police departments patrol black neighbourhoods more than they do white neighbourhoods? Statistics would say yes. Is it weird that the federal courts treat crack cocaine like it's much worse than powdered cocaine? Yes, yes it is ( ).

Is the police an inherently racist institution? Of course not. Is it a vicious circle that blacks are overrepresented in crime statistics, thus prompting more scrutiny and suspicion from police departments, thus resulting in more arrests, etc? Yes, yes it is. Has the United States had an awkward history with slavery, Jim Crow laws and racial prejudice? Yes, yes it has.

Are the whites of today in any way to blame for the institutions of their ancestors? Of course not. Implying otherwise is really, really retarded. I don't blame the Kingdom of Congo for selling their countrymen to the Portuguese, just as I don't blame the Germans for occupying my country in World War 2. History is history. Bringing it up as a weird kind of social casus belli is an exercise in futility.

Now, white privilege. Are there more poor blacks than whites? Yes, yes there are ( ). Blacks are overrepresented there as well.

So, that begs the simple question; what can we do about it?
How about looking at poverty as a social issue? The debate about race has gotten you nowhere, but there are lot of political programmes that can.

Also, don't use terms like 'multi generational wealth.' Yes, a lot of the richest people in America are white, but multi generational wealth is not a 'white thing.' If it was you wouldn't have the amount of poor whites that you do. Rich people get richer, and those born into rich families will often leave their kids a bigger fortune than they were left by their parents. That's 'multi generational wealth.' It has nothing to do with being white.

Seriously... a debate about privilege. How about actually trying to make a difference for a change?

This is a false claim. It's illegal to pay employees a lower salary based on their sexual orientation, gender or race. You can complain that whites occupy positions that pay more, but I'm not sure where you'll want to go with that. Do we need more blacks in the board of directors?
Huh. Hiring someone because of the colour of their skin. That sure sounds racist.
But that kind of thinking is what led to 'gender quotas' and 'ethnic diversity quotas' in the workplace. As if it isn't completely humiliating for a serious worker to be hired because of their gender or race. As if America needed more focus on race.

I just went online and wanted to reply to that guy then I saw your post.

I couldn't have said it better. One of the best post I've seen so far.
They won't reply because you actually have facts, not just media influenced opinions.

+rep isn't even enough. U_U

The crime statistic only correlates poor, poverty stricken Americans, you must not have read my entry, but I'll say it again. When it comes to middle and rich class, whites commit more crimes then blacks overall, see the problem there?

If that was a black person, he/she would've been lighted up big time.

as she was pulling down her shirt...nobody didn't even shoot her.

If a black person had done that, cop would say "he/she is reaching.." and light that person up. Come on now. If that's not white privilege then I don't know what the hell that is.


I disagree, had it been a man, no matter the color he would most likely have been shot, if anything this is female priveledge...

It was a pointless post. We already knew poverty and race intersect at a certain point. We don't need anymore of that, "why do you americans care so much about race", shit.

The history of this country has been heavily affected by race. We fought a civil war over it. It was 50 years ago that blacks fully got the right to vote. It was during the seventies that blacks and whites finally got the right to marry. It was during the 80s and 90s that Reagan and Clinton policies that led to a rise in incarceration rates. Their drug policies disproportionately affected black people. For example, different convictions for different type of crack usage. Also in the 90s, police discrimination was brought to light by the Rodney King situation. There was a problem with predominantly white police forces presiding over predominately black urban area, which led to trust issues and discrimination. Police discrimination came back into light recently due to Ferguson, where a predominantly white police force presided over a predominantly black urban area. The US is still racially segregated, especially in population allocation. Because of segregation (note not de jure), this led to things like mortgage discrimination, which is commonly referred to as redlining. Even though everyone fully got the right to vote 50 years ago, there's still discrimination in some states because of voter-ID laws.

Poverty, of course, is the greatest problem the US faces at the moment, but there is also a racial aspect to everything because our history has been so defined by it. Race is deeply ingrained into our culture, and ignoring the problems that come along with it will not make the problems go away. There's systemic racism throughout our society, whether its in the criminal justice system, the housing market system, or the educational system, and trying to blanket it as a universal problem will not solve our brand of "social issues".

Like, I can't properly explain to you, and its even harder to understand if you don't live in, or understand, the southern US. Just the statement, " You're absolutely obsessed with race", infuriates me because it is so. ****ing. stupid. coming from someone who doesn't understand basic US history.

So, that begs the simple question; what can we do about it?
How about looking at poverty as a social issue? The debate about race has gotten you nowhere, but there are lot of political programmes that can.

Also, don't use terms like 'multi generational wealth.' Yes, a lot of the richest people in America are white, but multi generational wealth is not a 'white thing.' If it was you wouldn't have the amount of poor whites that you do. Rich people get richer, and those born into rich families will often leave their kids a bigger fortune than they were left by their parents. That's 'multi generational wealth.' It has nothing to do with being white.

Seriously... a debate about privilege. How about actually trying to make a difference for a change?

Oh, and thanks for the rep

I'm glad that you threw out those stats as if they meant something against white privilege. What does the incarceration rate for blacks have to do with what whites can gain simply by existing in society? You may have thrown the others for a loop, but I can see through your deflection. What are the reasons for all of those stats? Why are black men getting double the time a white man gets in jail for the same exact crime and with the same amount of strikes against them?


You're a fool to not understand that the police institution stems from a racist nature. As KRS-One stated,
"Now here's a little truth, open up your eyes
While you're checking out the boom-bap, check the exercise
Take the word "overseer," like a sample
Repeat it very quickly in a crew, for example
Overseer, overseer, overseer, overseer
Officer, officer, officer, officer
Yeah, officer from overseer
You need a little clarity, check the similarity
The overseer rode around the plantation
The officer is off, patrolling all the nation
The overseer could stop you what you're doing
The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuing
The overseer had the right to get ill
And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill
The officer has the right to arrest
And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest
(Woop) They both ride horses
After 400 years, I've got no choices"

So once again, what do all of these stats have to do with the privilege of one group in the US? It's like arguing that black privilege doesn't exist by proceeding to list off stats about white incarceration rates. It's nonsensical.
