White Guy Harassed by Cops; SJW Opinion: Only Alive b/c He's White
Posted on 7/21/16 at 10:36 am

I admittedly came across this post on Facebook. I realize how much most of you loathe the site, as do I. Truth be told, I only have one because I use it to track bands I like so that I know when they are going to tour. I don't post, share, or comment anything. My family and close friends already know where I stand on certain matters.
I no longer follow about 90% of my "friends" because they post too much stupid bullshite. I've actually done a good job so far of weeding out the political rhetoric, repetitive sharing of ridiculous memes (e.g. "Share this if you were a '90s kid and blah blah blah...), and overall senseless opinions that make you want to bang your head against a brick wall.
However, every now and then one sneaks through the cracks. A friend of a friend liked the below post and I was wondering why it was so long. Little did I know the stupid message that would be attached to it...
Honestly, I don't know the entire story, and nor do I have any background information other than what is directly mentioned. Still, how can you have your husband undergo some form of police brutality and oppression and the first thing that comes to mind is, "Thank God he's not black or otherwise he would be dead."
How the frick do people think in such an irrational manner?

Steve didn't do anything wrong tonight. He was hit by a cop car driving the wrong way down a one way street while on his bike. He was threatened with guns as he laid down on the hood trying to recover from the hit. He laid on the hood, hands up, for several minutes until he was able to reason with the cops and they let him go.
Let's be real ladies and gentlemen--the reason Steve is still alive is because he's white.
If Steve were a person of color, I might not still have a husband tonight. This is why we need BLM. Because Steve's skin color was the difference between a bruise and fright and a cold death in the New York streets. Because no one deserves that. Because no one deserves to be treated that way by law enforcement. Because no one deserves to have a gun drawn on them when they've done nothing wrong. I know from personal experience that lots of NYPD officers are wonderful people. But some of them are not. I know it's a hard job, but police brutality is an issue that has to be discussed, and has to be actionable.

This is equivalent of a dude going on a 5 minute rant about how he's not gay but he would lick John Stamos's wagon wheel in a heartbeat.

This is off topic, and I apologize. Do people still fap to Facebook pics? Is it more common to fap to a girl's Instagram nowadays?
I only ask because I still would, but I don't think I have for a long time.

I think she was essentially saying she wants the BBC very badly.

It's okay man, no need to justify your Facebook account to the OT bullies.

So she readily admits many NYPD officers are wonderful people, but she thinks her husband is alive because he is white, not because he ran into good cops?

I think Instagram gives you better quality material to work with. I don't know about you, but I've never come across too many half-naked women on Facebook.
Still, I tend to draw greater inspiration from their LinkedIn account.

, I couldn't pass up a comment on that paragraph prefacing his source. That justification is just as bad as people who bash having a Facebook or other social media account, yet post in a forum on a website called TigerDroppings. Posted on 7/21/16 at 10:46 am to slackster

This nullifies this dumbasses entire argument, way to go sport.
If you don't try to fight them, everything will be fine.

Because they never take the next step to determine for themselves if the BS they read/hear is, in fact, true. Social media is just a conduit for ill-informed morons to share misinformation with other ill-informed morons. Eventually the misinformation becomes "fact."
That's why social media is so bad. It's allowing the dumbest and most naive among us to infect others with their stupidity.

The facts show this statement is COMPLETELY incorrect. Using 2015 numbers, a white person is almost TWICE as likely to be shot dead by police than a black person.

That's actually not true if you break it down by population rate.

She is obviously already getting the BBC, SJW's have no morals at all.

Well this is awkward.

What about when you factor in their crime rate causing them to be more likely to interact with police? I don't know the answer and I'm not being snark but I assume they are more likely to interact with cops.

I totally agree. But if we're just talking strictly about white vs blacks and population rate, I still stand by my statement.

I used the arrest data from the FBI for 2014 and the WaPo shooting death numbers for 2015, both the most recent numbers for either metric, to show no race is statistically killed markedly more than another, much less twice as likely as you suggested.
You're right about blacks not being an outlier, but your statistic and argument is false.
