Please, tell me when was the last time that being white didn't work out in your favor? I'd love to hear it. Originally Posted by WombRaiderSimple.. Growing up WHITE in Hawaii. Talk about police harassment for just "driving while white".
Patronization is all in how you approach something. You understand blacks perfectly? So you understand what it's like to have an inherent bias built into the fabric of the very social system that you're forced to live under?

I'm sure it will get shit on, as any reasoned approach does. But it's not wrong. When they see violence perpetrated as a response to injustice, they ruminate on why. Never once thinking about what it would be like to be in a similar situation."What White America Doesn't want to know"

You're right. I don't want to know because I'm all stocked up on bullshit and delusions at the moment.
I clicked your link. I got about halfway through it before I threw up in my mouth a little. Jesus, talk about an orgy of self flagellation. I refuse to wear sackcloth and ashes for the sins of our nation's great-great grandparents. Enough already.
Here is Baltimore summed up:
A black man is murdered by a black police officer.
Black citizens riot, while their black mayor gives them "space to destroy"
The black chief of police conducts a thorough investigation/
The black prosecutor files charges so the animals will go back holding their hands out at feeding time like always.
Then the black Attorney General steps in to investigate possible racism of a police department that is 43% black, under the auspices of "civil rights violation", while the black President tells us this is all due to racism. Originally Posted by SinsOfTheFlesh

Don't throw this back on me. This your thread, and nobody got what the big important message was. Everyone is clueless, remember.I'm not throwing anything back on you. I'm simply asking for an opinion on the matter. Or is this not a discussion forum? People like IB and LustyTard and LexusNexus really ruin any chance of having a reasoned discussion on here.

White people are either uncomfortable talking about it or they talk about it in such a way as to not understand it. There's not much middle ground. Any time a black woman speaks her mind, she's labeled 'angry'.If you look white, you look like part of the problem.
I guess you missed the part where she said that despite all those hurdles, they were not an excuse to lose hope. White people get a chance to tell it like it is. When black people do it, they're labeled as 'poverty pimps'. If you feel like she was saying that white people had something to do with this, perhaps it's because they do. To completely ignore the part that white america played or plays in racism, is to dishonor the fight of so many.
I know the conversation white america has. Being a minority, but not necessarily looking like one, I float between worlds. I see both sides. White people think that minorities should just shut up and quit talking about the struggle. And maybe they would, if it didn't still happen every fucking day. You want to act like it's over. And it's not. Originally Posted by WombRaider
