This Is White Privilege

[denilson200]

If you are not yet familiar with the term white privilege, here's your introduction to it On May 17, 2015 in Waco, Texas, 170 people were arrested after a shootout/brawl in which nine people died and 20 were seriously injured. The story took over the news and was covered in an endless loop for days.

Every single person who was arrested has been released.

Not one person has been charged with murder.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the epitome of white privilege.

Of the 135 people originally ordered to wear GPS ankle monitors, all but 22 have been allowed to remove them. Their lawyers have reached agreements with prosecutors to modify the conditions of their pre-trial release.

Let's now replace these men, who killed nine people just a few months ago, up against Kalief Browder, an African-American who was arrested for stealing a man's backpack.

Browder languished in Rikers Island Penitentiary for three years without ever being charged with a crime. Brutalized throughout his time there, he committed suicide in the months after his release.

Or let's consider Bobby Reed, who is serving a life sentence in prison for his first offense, a non-violent drug crime. Reed was featured in the Vice documentary on prison reform, and his story begins just about a minute into the documentary.

White privilege is killing nine people and all suspects being released without a charge, while Browder served three years after being accused of stealing a backpack and Reed is serving a life sentence for selling drugs.

I think most people realise that America has deep set issues with race. I think it was Don King that referred to the black man as American Jew. There is some truth to that with the ghetto's and incarceration. Or maybe akin to a Palestinian living under the Jewish occupation. Either way, I agree. It isn't cool.

There is no question that anglo-saxons in America and elsewhere to have more money and more accessibility to higher quality legal representation. Not only that they have more connections to the well connected lawyers and attorneys in prosecutors than poor blacks would who live in the ghetto.

There is also no doubt that any jury which is made up of predominately Anglo Saxons would most likely unfavorably view a black person on trial in a way that would lead to perhaps unbalanced conclusions about whether or not that person committed a crime worthy of severe punishment. Whereas a white person on trial with an all white jury may receive a bit more leniency on a subconscious or unconscious level from the jury.
Malcolm X did make a good point when he said that you can't put a person on top of the stove and light the fire and then get angry at the way they react or the things that they say

Reminds me of when a Vietnamese in Wisconsin shot about 5 or six whites -claimed self defense, because they all had guns, were drunk & threatened him...Yet they were all buried like within a day to prevent autopsy showing if/ how much alcohol consumed. As testimony stated they weren't drunk & get this--claimed only 1 or 2 were armed. Really? How does a group of people go hunting -with only 2 guns between the 1/2 dozen or so?

As for my African-American brethren- far too many times we put ourselves out there by stealing shit to begin with. We got enough problems being black. But to steal or harm then cry because death by gun was the solution is contradictory at best. Let us cry for justice when a black man is shot without provocation or breaking any law.

The Kalief Browders of the world place themselves in life or death situations by the actions of theft. Petty as it, was the ni%$3uh fucked up. No a backpack isn't worth death, but stealing isn't our last resort. It is a choice that has dire consequences.

I agree however I love this line from a good tune:

Bob Dylan: when you ain't got nothin you got nothin to lose

What kind of records did they have big d. If they had long records you tend to get screwed for any offense. Don't know if that's the case here, just asking. The Waco Texas thing was the government fucking up against biker gangs I believe. I remember People being loaded no one was charged but the government screw up the investigation. They went in heavy handed but I don't know the specifics of the case. I don't know if they could prove who did once as I think the Gov hid video to hide Shit they did. Need to refresh myself on the story. If people kill, I think they should be punished I don't give a he'll what their color is. But I don't think the courts would go out of their way to give white priv to illegal biker gangs. The US spends millions trying to bring them down.

Racism has never been more socially unacceptable in Britain - three quarters of Britons claim they have no racial prejudice whatsoever. Journalist Mona Chalabi investigates whether these statistics provide an accurate picture.

To find out what is happening on Britain's streets, three reporters are sent undercover to test the public's prejudice. The results are surprising.

The programme looks into people's subconscious behaviour, discovering what British people really think about their neighbours of different races and religions. And Mona puts her own beliefs under the microscope, discovering some uncomfortable truths. Finally, she asks a hugely significant question - can people be trained to lose their prejudice?

I had to stop watching half way through because it was utter shite.

This is brilliant.

The black fella can't find a lick of racism anywhere. Useless.

Martha, a black woman that runs a cafe, has suffered racism because a customer told her the grub was rubbish.

If you give away free doughnuts whilst wearing a mask it will take you a couple of minutes longer to off them than if you let people see your face.

Some store detectives/security guards are hopeless and should be sacked.

Mona, the girl presenting, is devastated that a scan of her brain reveals she is racist - towards black people.

Generally people are more attracted to white women. Nobody fancies black birds. Asians prefer Asians.

Muslims hate jews.

Conclusion - everyone is subconsciously racist.
