I don't think I gain much by being white. Being a man OTOH. That rocks.

well, you do. and doubly so since you're male. you're the top of the food chain - just by being born. congrats!

Sure I'll admit it. I'm guilty of it. May come as a surprise to you, but being "right" isn't #1 on my list like it probably is on yours.

Have you noticed that everything you say is back handed?

What exactly is your goal with that?

facts aren't something to be "believed". there are plenty of studies that show le bias in their treatment of black men. black men all start out as black boys. so no - it isn't hard for me to believe that in this day and age a black boy can be shot and killed in at a playground in broad daylight for playing with a toy gun. and the cops get to just say "oopsie"

(if you don't remember, this is when everyone starts talking about 'well if black people didn't commit so much crime, they wouldn't have to worry about cops shooting them 'by accident'..)

Well to deny that the disparity in the crime rate plays a part, is kind of burying your head in the sand, don't you think?

I love my white privilege

It's because it's presented to you as you grow up as the natural order of things. It does take a good dose of reality to understand and see how it works. Of course, you also need to live in the real world, which might explain why some here still insist in living in the pre-Civil Rights era...

i really can't think of too many who post here who are willing to admit their white privilege.

nope, not at all.

Of course not, which is how we arrive at points being raised (like the one LIB just posted in the Venezuela thread) that the failure of black people in the USA can be tracked to the failure of black people in African nations.

Yeah with this gift comes responsibility. I don't take this gift that god has bestowed on me lightly. I thank him evey night.

You look at everything in such simplistic terms. Black man dead = cops fault. White man not dead = racism. Each case is different.

Then explain it to me. You said they both had something that looks like a real gun. If this is true, why aren't areas where folks hunt being flooded with deaths of teens that have REAL guns? The cops should be dropping bodies every single day in those areas since they take yearbook pictures with rifles and shotguns.

i don't know if you're aware but - by and large - americans are very. very. stupid.

I think you'd get about 50%, maybe more.

Feel free to try being the better man.

That should be pinned at the top of the CEHST forum.
