Re: What is white privilege?

So when Trump was talking about using the military to suppress riots, you were very angry about that idea, right?

Trump was goading the Democrats who were refusing to engage in correct police operations. Bear in mind where it started. This all began where Democrats run the operations.

in fact it spread to other Democratic party enclaves.

The message is if you want peace, join republicans. If you want violence remain a Democrat.

Examples of Systemic Racism in the US Justice System
Although a politically controversial topic, there are overwhelming facts to support the notion that the US justice system is racist especially looking at the targeting and punishing of African-Americans. Looking at data on police stoppings, shootings, drug arrests, bailing process, legal representation, trial, sentencing, jury selection, freedom, and parole, a trend of biasness appears. On drug use, African-Americans constitute 13% of the population and 14% of drug users, but 37% of drug-related arrests and 56% of inmates of crimes relating to drugs.

Is it true that George Floyd was convicted of a robbery, he entered the apartment and threatened a pregnant woman with a gun, hit her in the face and stomach? Why did he, previously convicted, receive a short term? And you say that to black people are biased in court.

Re: What is white privilege?

Are you saying his motives may not have been racist?

Doesn't matter to me what his motives were. Maybe the lawyers care. To me, it's just another reason not to trust the police.

He was not murdered, he was resisting arrest originally, he was 6’6”, 270 lbs.
He was arrested for using counterfeit money.
He had drugs in his system.

But the left don’t care.

Here is a story , same deal, but white guy, the left don’t care.

Floyd was murdered. 8 minutes and 45 seconds with a knee on the neck and chest makes it murder, not reasonable restraint.

Maybe?
That is a legit excuse?
Maybe?

You're saying you don't know? That all this racism may be non-existent , or at least far less than you suppose?

What culture?

If you think there is racial privilege, but do not believe culture matters, why do you post on this topic?

Re: What is white privilege?

While I do not speak for most republicans, I can speak of me as both a former devout Democrat who reformed and now votes only for Republicans. I changed for many reasons. My Avatar shows my starting point in this discussion. I wanted a time for truth so read that awesome book.

FDR was definitely racist and a bigot. And a war monger.

However when you hand gifts to people, they love you for it. And blacks were handed gifts by FDR so they changed to his party.

FDR a racist and war monger?
History is seems, is something that has eluded you.

Well, except for one book that is painfully inaccurate.

Hard to know the motives. This was not the first problem the public has had with the "copper," so my guess is that he was an across the board violent guy that should have been off the force ages ago. thanks!!

I'm asking about support for your claims regarding culture. What culture currently exists for black people and what culture do you suggest they adopt. Name the cultures.

But his killing has been portrayed as a racist act...that's what the riots were all about.

Re: What is white privilege?

That private school is doing children wrong. They want white kids to accept that they are guilty though as children they are totally innocent. And blacks are rewarded as if they are better than white children. And it is not the sole school preaching this racist prattle either.

It is one, very expensive private school.
I am sure there may be a few others.

I already stated I thought that type of teaching is over the top BS.

fortunately, public schools, where most people are educated, is not teaching that.

If you notice ... here in the USA the Media refuses to focus on his crimes. They persist that he was a victim.

I question this one element all the time. How can you choke a man from the side with a knee?

I do see how it can cut off the major artery to kill the brain, but not choke anybody.

Anyway the police union is defending all of the officers.

Why no murder charges here?

(Tony Timpa wailed and pleaded for help more than 30 times as Dallas police officers pinned his shoulders, knees and neck to the ground.

“You’re gonna kill me! You’re gonna kill me! You’re gonna kill me!”

After Timpa fell unconscious, the officers who had him in handcuffs assumed he was asleep and didn’t confirm that he was breathing or feel for a pulse.

As precious minutes passed, the officers laughed and joked about waking Timpa up for school and making him waffles for breakfast.)

If he's a shtbag bang him up , I don't care, but if this wasn't a racist murder what the hell are the riots about?

Oh, so if a Republican deploys the military to a state, it's still the Democrats' fault for making him do that :lamo

Re: What is white privilege?

It's a reflexive response to a perceived attack. When people hear that term, especially conservatives, they interpret it to mean that they didn't earn what they have. That they somehow cheated to get where they are. That's why they always point out just how hard they've worked. I earned what I have! It's an easy response to understand, once you figure out their perspective on it. It's just how people respond to what they think is a personal attack on their character.

It doesn't occur to them that they're wrong. "White privilege" doesn't mean "white people have it easy." It doesn't mean "white people didn't earn what they have." It doesn't mean "we should make sure white people suffer more than they do." It doesn't mean "white people are bad people." It doesn't mean "white people are all racist." They don't know what it means, they're reacting to what they think it means.

“White privilege” implies that whites, based on nothing other than their skin tone, have some kind of societal benefit that others do not have. If that is true then it must also be true that people of color are at a societal disadvantage merely because of their skin color. Since “privilege” is a benefit bestowed on a person or a people by society then the “white privilege” concept boils down to “white society is racist”. If someone truly believes that white society is racist then that belief is, in itself, racist.

They should be charged. This is exactly the problem we're talking about.

There is a benefit that others do not have. It's "not having to deal with systemic racial bias."

That's not saying all white people are racist.

It's not being racist to point out that racism exists, that's ridiculous.

Where did Trump overrule Democrats? If is the shortest word meaning little to nothing in existence.

Democrats are where the crime took place. Democrats run things. If you don't know that, you are out of touch.
