You are incorrect that people do not label white kids are not labeled as thugs when their pants hang below their ass and they are covered in tattoos. Other names include white trash or trailer trash and they are absolutely followed in stores. They will also have the police stop and question the fairly quick because they look like trouble. I have been with friends when I was younger and been followed, we are all white. It was most likely our age. If only I was black I could have blamed it on racism... I’m not saying racism isn’t a thing, but making every single incident a racial one irregardless of whether or not race is a factor isn’t helping anyone. It pushed black to “buck the system” and causes other races to view the entire narrative as false.
The white kids you are describing are the exceptions. They are being followed because of the image they choose to project. Blacks kids are followed for just being black. Why shouldn’t they be able to dress like typical teenagers? Our friend a ceo on Wall Street is always stopped in his bmw . He has a house in the Hampton’s and went to the police in advance because he anticipated police harassment...he’s used to it. Why do you suppose they follow him, but not us when we visit? I am not saying white kids aren’t followed but it’s usually when they are seen as suspicious . I’m sorry you see whites as victims of racism, comparable to the experiences of African Americans, nothing I can say
Does the Hells Angels Preach hate now? So your concept about white people not being followed around and people having suspicions. Just wasn't part of reality, huh?
Are they white? How about just some white guys that Ride bikes and wear Harley Davidson shirts? Are they extreme because they ride Motorcycles?
I quit! You just don’t get it. There’s no racism in this country the bikers you are describing isn’t about their skin color it is about a statement they choose to make, When I wear my feminist tee shirt I am making a statement, it’s not about being a white woman
Oh because some white guys ride motorcycles.....they are making a statement? Waitaminute first the left says there is racism and now you are saying there isn't. Sounds flip floppy to me. Just sayin.
Of course whites are victims of racism, an entire college asked white students and teachers not to come on campus for several days and the whites that did were harassed. We have white people being beat up because of their skin, although rarely charged with a hate crime. I’ve already said that racism against blacks exist, but not every single incident is racial like some infer it to be. We are starting to see blacks making up allegations against cops because there isn’t enough actual racism for them to point out - so they make it up.
It's not even wealth. It's simply attitude. You can buy decent 'conservative' clothing at any charity store, and a millionaire rapper can look like a thug.
You keep repeating the same silly extremism whoevee said “every single incident” Only a white guy would say that black people make up allegations against cops because there isn’t enough actual racism for them to point out. And I bet you don’t think you have a ticketed bone in your body. You just gave another example of racism, by your comment
For the trillionth time; I am not telling Blacks how to feel and my problem with "White Privilege" is exactly that it tells Black people not only how to feel, but also how to think.
That’s whats so sad...you don’t even know you are. You say there isn’t racism anymore....that’s thinking for blacks
OMG .. dearest Renee. You don't live in Disneyland, you live in the mammalian and mercenary world of barely held together peace. A fundamental of social harmony is CONFORMITY. You know, outside of Disneyland and Ivory Towers .. where the bored and safe can play dress ups with impunity. Conformity is an extremely valuable survival tool.
Point out to me the post where I said racism does not exist. What I say does not exist is White Privilege™ and Structural Racism™ because those are nothing but Postmodern delusions based on Marxist fantasies. My argument is also that these two create a form of groupthink that does more harm than good and that it, essentially, results in what it claims to be against - racism. Fact remains that you are yet to present a real life example of "Whute Privilege" because all you have been able to give us is anecdotes and stories about Jim Crow. I know it is your job and all that, but perhaps it is time to realise that you are making money from a lie.
First of all and my workshops I do not talk about white privilege. But I would say, you would learn a lot. In your world blacks and whites are seen the same ... Tell that to the cops. My black friend and his BMW repeatedly. I don’t even have to think of getting stopped Ask the cops who kill unarmed black men . My students were taught by their parents never to run for the bus because it will scare white people if they see them running. I never had to teach my child that..so Marxist ....lol ..
The narrative of "racist cops" is rather exaggerated and the issues will not be solved by putting Blacks and cops against each other. However, this could easily be solved by privatising the police force.
Pretty much. I mean, when was the last time a private security guard at the local mall shot a Black person for no reason at all?
