re: 17 Deplorable Examples of White Privilege

Jingoism =/= Racism

The Feds went 100:1.

Do you think their action, bluster, and merciless propaganda campaign - funded by us - did not sway states into their own sentencing disparities?

mostly true if you add wealthy to the white people, poor white trash gets nailed ll the time

#15 is a load of shite. No one says "Never forget Titanic" and people do say "never forget 9/11 or the Holocaust". What you DON'T hear people say is "forget about slavery" -- you hear people say "stop using slavery as a crutch".

Have you heard a Jew use the holocaust as a defense for their actions? No

Have you heard a black person use slavery as a defense for their actions? Yes

I guarantee you 0% of you have been slaves, none of you know what it feels like. I guarantee you there are more holocaust survivors than slaves alive. I can very much guarantee you people of Jewish descent don't use the holocaust as a crutch over in Germany (where I actually have family and they can tell you from their own everyday lives).

I'm white. I've never been to jail except for a night in the drunk tank. No DUI. I'm easily on the far right of the net worth bell curve. Sorry.

I'm just calling bullshite on these applications of law.

Conan jokes and does a bit about buzzfeed running out of lists. They sure had to scrape the bottom of the barrel for this one.

Find me a story

Would be hard to do. Obviously there were a disproportionate amount of blacks stopped when compared to population as a whole. (I think the law sucks and that's why I live in TX where if they frisk me they better damn well have a valid reason as they are gonna find a firearm). Also of those stopped a very small number had any force used and those that did only 1.3 % were forced to lie down. There is no breakdown in the stats that notes the racial diversity of that specific force. Nor was there any data relating to the documented pro vacation of the use of force. But if we extend the racial disparities seen in this study pertaining to any use of force we could safely say that at least 25% of those forced to lie on the ground were white.



In light of your convincing argument that a story or lack there of proves existence of an event, we can derive conclusions. Not that a white business man in a suit was not forced to lie on the ground but that statistically speaking whites were at minimum 75% less likely to publically blame the color of their skin for ending up face down on the pavement when such an event is clearly anomalous even within their own race.


Black privilege = indiscretionatly using racisim as a reason for trial and tribulations.



Does racism exist? yes
Are blacks getting targeted in NY? yes
At the laws stupid there? Yes.

Was the black man in question forced on the ground only do to his skin color? Not based on the available data.

In the end people will always either make excuses (reasoning for failure) or find ways to succeed.

Everyone is a victim of something, just ask them.

wanker/wanker was actually a big derogatory term towards the Irish/Irish slaves in the 1800s. Oh which by the way, Irish were one of the bigger slave markets in the 1600s, not Africans. Something like a 1.5mil population of Irish turned to 500k in a decade. Half were killed and the other half were sold into slavery.

He did, you decided not to see it

Well, since Irish is not a race I do not see how it applies here.

This proves to me that you have no clue what you are talking about.

Not all white people are the same race, just as not all black people are the same race. Haitians are not Jamaicans are not Africans...etc.
