So....white females had to breed for white males to have value???
White males have been the source of power and control in America and white women were complicit in this power notwithstanding intra-racial sexism. The white FAMILY could not be devoid of privilege and access because the white male was head of the household.

I do not know what your definition of "Past" means. People of Vietnam are past our war with them, but they are being ravaged by the legacy of agent orange which has caused high rates of deformities and birth defects.
Every action creates a reaction and we are now living with the reaction accrued from the past.....so we are not really past the "past" in my opinion. Some people like to think we are....that way if fits their narrative of the lazy, irresponsible, poor choice making black human, unencumbered by past or present racism, who is his and her own worst enemy.

So you are saying he should have gotten back into the car and then put his hands on the wheel ?

No, from the beginning I have stated that the cop was WRONG. What I did bring up is that people seem to not be taught that when you are pulled over by a cop you do not exit your vehicle but keep your hands in plain sight, preferably on the steering wheel and wait for the officer to approach your car. This young man was incredibly polite and likely if he had remained in the vehicle this wouldn't have happened. Please do not twist this as me blaming the young man as it is not. Just a statement that the old understanding of how to behave when pulled over is not being taught. There is a reason people were taught to do that which is to prevent situations like this.

Yes....but at face value there is a problem when such has to be taught. Kind of like the things that had to be taught in the 50 and 60's about who not to look at, where you are supposed to sit on the bus and the like.
The seat belt law is often just used as a pretext to stop drivers that may fit a "profile". I used to get stopped for things like having a necklace hanging from my rear view mirror, having items (small items) in my back dashboard, rolling stops....etc. Obviously I was being profiled because I see people ALL THE TIME violating these (maybe not the rolling stop) supposed laws and passing by the police.
And possibly illegal window tint. I can't recall any white people getting stopped for this, but I've known quite a few blacks who have. Which begs the question 'how was tint to dark if the officer can see in to identify the driver?'

I was taught that in the 80's and frankly, it is just common sense.

It's only common sense if the police are predators.
