Thousands of tweeters are up in arms against racial profiling and police brutality in America, issues that have been hard to ignore amid recent protests over the police killings of Michael Brown, Ezell Ford, Akai Gurley and others. #BlackLivesMatter and #HandsUpDontShoot have played a large role in addressing these issues on social media, but there's a new hashtag in town: #CrimingWhileWhite.

Instead of highlighting incidents of prejudice against people of color, #CrimingWhileWhite quickly zeroed in on white privilege, straight from the mouths of those who know it best.
Twitter

Basically, white people are admitting to committing crimes and getting away with it on twitter

"Criming" isn't even a fricking word.

I went over the speed limit this morning and didn't turn myself in. Does that qualify me to be part of this group? TIA

I would so take part in this if I had gotten away with anything noteworthy.

My ONLY issue with this is that I dont know what they want as a solution.

I agree that white people get more legal forgiveness.

Do they want white people to be charged more for crimes they DID commit? Or do they want black people not charged for crimes they did commit?

The first is vindictive and doesnt change their lives at all. The second is selfish and makes no sense.

I was driving drunk and hit a minority pedestrian. The cops and witnesses agreed that "he was attempting suicide" and let me sue his family for emotional stress...

no, it's the worst because they don't seem to matter when blacks kill blacks. But when a white cops kills a black man, oooooohhhhhhhh, THEN black lives matter. HUH????

I stabbed a couple people after a Super Bowl party and only got a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice.

My four pit bulls broke through my neighbor's fence and killed their dog. I sued them for a million dollars.

I see a lot of "they" this and "they" that. Black people do not have a hive mind.
It is simply a way to expose how terrible the justice system can be at times in America.
Lastly, there are no protest on black on black crimes because 9/10 the criminal is locked up. Where as you have a cop on video choking a man out, and he gets to go on about his life.

If you really want to learn why we feel the way we feel, how about asking us instead of making generalizations about the whole race.
