Why can't we all be as progressive as this Georgetown student who was mugged recently? Imagine the racial harmony if we all followed his example.

quote:

Last weekend, my housemate and I were mugged at gunpoint while walking home from Dupont Circle. The entire incident lasted under a minute, as I was forced to the floor, handed over my phone and was patted down.

quote:

Who am I to stand from my perch of privilege, surrounded by million-dollar homes and paying for a $60,000 education, to condemn these young men as “thugs?” It’s precisely this kind of “otherization” that fuels the problem.


I was mugged and understand why

If he was shot, would he be posting that? Probably not.

his mindset sounds like a perfect recipe for socialism. (and I'm sure your post was wholly sarcastic, at least I hope)

Lol. Well I'm probably not as loaded as him. I guess he won't mind if I steal all of his electronics out of his home.

Racism on both sides is as bad as I've ever seen at 33 y/o over the last few years. Poor leadership in black communities and poor leaders in congress and White House doesn't help either. This country needs a reset button.

I bet we would pick our own cotton next time, or at least get Mexicans instead.

"I deserve to be mugged for being white and for not being poor."

I wonder if this guy would be so forgiving if he were robbed by trailer trash? Would he feel so privileged then?

I can understand the reason behind the act and still condemn the act. I can see all the steps that led to a person becoming "white trash" or a "thug" and lament choices that were made or situations that were forced upon a person, but that doesn't change the reality of what is in front of me.

Empathy and sympathy do not make you weak, but the delusion that a hostile person cares that you "understand" them will get you killed.
