If there is a black man or woman born in the United States of America they have the exact same opportunities as any one else.

It's not racism that keeps them from getting an education or finding a job.

It's not racism that makes them drop out of school or join a gang or commit crime!

Some people, cops included, are just buttholes. I haven't always gotten out of every ticket but everyone I got, I earned well maybe except for one but I digress.

A long time ago when I was just out of high school I was driving through a rural town in another county. I got pulled over by a white officer for speeding. My girlfriend and I had just broken up. I apologized to the officer and told him the story. He let me go, no questions asked and just said be careful.

The moral of the story is you rarely hear stories like this that happens in large numbers everyday throughout America. Acts of kindness and leniency. People focus on the bad cops and/or bad mistakes.

In business we teach that if you provide 1 bad experience then they tell 10 people. If you provide 10 good experiences then they might tell 1 person. To stay in business you need to preform at a 500-1 good to bad performance

The police would have gone out of business a long time ago.

Nope, I was commenting on the advantages enjoyed by whites especially white males.

I'm healthy, I'm relatively young, I'm white...which, thank God for that ****, boy. That is a huge leg up. Are you kidding me? Oh, God, I love being white. I really do. Seriously, if you're not white, you're missing out. Because this **** is thoroughly good. Let me be clear, by the way. I'm not saying that white people are better. I'm saying that being white is clearly better. Who could even argue? If it was an option, I would re-up every year.

"Oh, yeah, I'll take 'white' again, absolutely. I've been enjoying that. I'm gonna stick with white, thank you."

Here's how great it is to be white: I can get in a time machine and go to any time, and it would be ****ing awesome when I get there! That is exclusively a white privilege. Black people can't **** with time machines! A black guy in a time machine's like, "Hey, anything before 1980, no thank you. I don't want to go."

But I can go to any time! The year 2. I don't even know what's happening then, but I know when I get there...

"Welcome, we have a table right here for you, sir."

"Thank you. Oh, it's lovely here in the year 2."

I can go to any time--in the past. I don't want to go to the future and find out what happens to white people because we're gonna pay hard for this ****, you got to know that. We're not going to just fall from number one to two. They're gonna hold us down and **** us in the ass forever. And we totally deserve it. But for now, wheeeeeeee!

Now, if you're white and you don't admit that it's great, you're an *******. It is great. And I'm a man. How many advantages could one person have? I'm a white man. You can't even hurt my feelings! What can you really call a white man that really digs deep?

"Hey, cracker."

"Uh. Ruined my day. Boy shouldn't have called me a cracker. Bringing me back to owning land and people, what a drag."

I would argue that being an attractive white woman is the pinnacle of privilege.

Says the offending party.
The public has little to no power over the police who are supposed to protect and serve them. So the public’s interaction with the police is irrelevant. I’d like to see the oversight taken out of the hands of the police and placed back in the hands of we the people. Then maybe, just maybe the police won’t feel the need to try and intimidate everyone they come in contact with. If they actually had to behave in a professional manner to keep their jobs the maybe just maybe the entire country would not be in flames right now.

All the a$$holes show up to pronounce themselves as a$$holes. No need. We know who you are

It is my hope tHere will come a day when those of you who have an incorrect/danngerous/antisocial view of “law and order” will come to realize you don’t fit in and here in the U.S. will seek to live in other countries where dictatorial policies are acceptable. You are not welcomed here.

Sounds down right dictatorial. How delicious.

You fascists scare me. If you libs ever get totally in charge, you would ban guns, police, free speech, round up dissenters, and throw us in the gas chambers.

Your post is slightly off.
He’s not a fascist. He’s the guy who destroys things that enables the rise of fascism. The net result is the same. But I know how important accuracy is too you.

An enabler of fascism is no different than a fascist. He is just too young and green to realize that he is becoming what he professes to hate.

I actually think that is a wise bit of advice. You don't need to be calling the police over every inconvenience or to be snitching on your neighbors.

You can't ask police to hold each other accountable and "see something say something" if you aren't willing to do the same in your circles. This anti snitch mentality is a major factor in perpetuating high crime areas.

With that being said there are things that don't require the police but let's be careful not to advocate for this dumb stop snitching idiocy.

Don't be dumb. Check the percentages. Stop talking about one in a million occurrences like it is the norm.

One in a million? Once again you reach deep into hypberole. 48ish million African Americans. Willing to bet we can find way more than 48 of those.

Way more than 480 or even 4800. 48000 still sounds low. But maybe that's the racist in me. So we are down to what is that 1 in a 1000? I can see a good bit of +/- there. I wonder if you even know.

That still sounds like pretty crap odds. Why not go with that? Is it because you dont care about the truth? Is it because it's easier to sell a lie than look for the truth?
