I'm the father of a half black child, I generally care what takes place in the black community because it will affect his life forever. Where exactly can I pick up my white privilege because I haven't been able to find that **** yet?
It's only bad if you're white. Colored people can call other colored people anything they want to, that's the privilege you get for being under privileged or whatever they're calling it these days.
I don't know what show I was passing by some night this week but the guest was talking about the problem with people catching police incidents (and other incidents) on their cell phone and then the news media all picking up the video. The problem, the guest said, was that people don't whip out their cell phones to capture what led up to things. He wasn't critical of the people doing the video or photography, he hinted it's just natural to pick up the camera phone when you think there is something worth recording. So, for example, two kids fighting on a bus - you don't see what happened to start one whaling on the other and in these police incidents, you don't see cell phone captures of what happened before the police used force. The guest said he was once against having police cars equipped with cameras but he's changed his mind. Now he thinks it would be a good thing because before people develop a mindset about what happened they need to see the whole story before people (like the NAACP) get all bent out of shape before they know all of the facts and then find it hard or impossible to step back because they are on record, too.
Sorry, but you're missing the point.
Before these police dash cams and proliferation of cellphones, the cops were doing this stuff with regularity in minority communities, and whites said that we were lying about it. Not only has white America found out the truth, but they're NOW finding out that the cops are doing it to many whites too.
Now that cameras are catching this behavior, you wanna move the goalposts do talk about what lead up to the cop being abusive.
What could possibly lead up to a cop straddling a woman on the ground and punching her in the face?

when does it end? once they find out what led up to it they will ask what their childhood was like... or how many speeding tickets they had in their past.
The truth doesn't sound stupid at all to me, it's the nonsense that I hear some of you spewing daily about white privilege that sounds stupid.
I agree....
