Having your tie tied instead of you being kneeled on is white privilege. Do you believe in white privilege now after you see these two videos?

Question

Watch these videos below first before you vote on my poll. You need to understand what white privilege is first. You can have a gun in your car, you get your tie tied when pulled over and so forth.

I do think that there's racism towards black/brown folks especially but I have trouble with the notion is white privilege. to some I'm white and to others I'm not, so if I'm treated a certain way how do I know I have it?

Rina_colada · Accepted Answer

Yes. White privilege still exists.

Yes, I am certain that Tony Timpa, Jeremy Mardis, Justine Damond and other MAJORITY of people killed by police (white people, that make up the majority.. if you didn't catch that)
are so sorry for their White Privilege
Blacks make up roughly 25% of police shootings

BUT BUT BUT BUT

Especially in regards to that poor Black community that clearly has no privilege
but is at fault for...
a VERY disproportionate amount of racial violence
including the majority (around 90%) of interracial White/Black violence
and the majority of Anti-Asian violence
According to the Justice Bureau National Crime Victimization Survey

The majority of major crimes in the United States
including over 50% of yearly murders and robberies
and over 30%+ of nearly every other crime
according to the FBI Uniform Crime Report

That in todays world is handed positions on the basis of race..
be it racial swapping, and quotas in Hollywood
Affirmative Action standards (that have been in place for decades throughout most of the country) that have often given Blacks positions in society that were not deserved... including ease of access to Education (While making it more difficult for Whites and Asians)
OR is consistently being pandered to through tokenism through almost every form of media
OR that consistent false reportings pushed by the media in an attempt to not harm the fragile egos that community holds
FOR EXAMPLE.. false reports of White Karens (such as the Pregnant mother pulling a gun... anyone who has watched the video knows the full story.. but the media avoided it)
OR the need to blame all of the Black communities problems on White people
instead of giving any sense of responsibility
be it.. being an actual father... (most homes are fatherless)
or accountability over educational achievements..

while we complain about a community that has also held every major office in the country.. from the President.. to major military positions... to major media positions.. ETC

Yet of course the Black voice trumps in every discussion
and the White voice means very little

Check your privilege.
and learn some responsibility.

WITHOUT A DOUBT there are cases of racism... and poor policing... and prejudice.
No one denies that

But this sort of message does nothing but create division
and is built on false concepts

So because an officer pulls over a citizen who has a gun, said officer doesn't shoot the citizen; that's white privilege? Or a cop pulls a college kid over who cannot tie his own tie, said cop instead helps the college kid to tie his tie, he too lets him off with a warning and these two cases somehow prove white privilege?

Check you racism first! The first officer I would wager was called away on a more important call. If I was the officer in the second video, I would bust the balls of the college kid! He is in college and yet he can't tie a freakin' tie? He failed at growing up, I could tie a tie in the early part of fourth grade.

The first video; the guy in the "big ol pickup" should have mentioned the gun as soon as the officer made first contact and he should have turned the pickup off. Other than that I saw nothing wrong with the interaction.

The second kid was kind of an idiot. You don't get out of your vehicle unless commanded to do just that. The dumb kid was getting out before the officer's car is even stopped. The kid is fortunate he never got tased or something along those lines.

Either way, African Americans make up 13.4% percent of the population yet account for fewer deaths by officers, I wonder why that is? Claiming things like white privilege just shows hot racist you are.

No. Cause only someone ignorant believes it exists. What when plenty of minorities are stinking rich. They just didn't sit on their ass & do nothing. Gotta love ignorant people.

Everyone's stereotyped if you fit a certain profile. Italians are mobsters. Russians are anti-America. Germans are Nazis. Portuguese eat dirt they're that poor. All Middle-Easterners are Muslim terrorists. All E Asians eat dogs & cats. All Hispanics eat tacos & steal cars. All Chinese men are effeminate gays (old belief).

The list is quite literally endless. And, of course, such is not helped by the fact BLM idiots are rioting & looting & essentially doing everything in their power to imply they are incapable of living among normal society as decent law obeying people. Supporting ALL the negative stereotypes about blacks by their behavior that's all BLM is doing.

This is perhaps the dumbest comparison I've ever heard in my entire life. This driver wasn't doing a fuckton of drugs, reaching into a car exactly how people would reach for a gun, refusing to show his hands, acting insane, resisting arrest, and asking to be put on the ground when he was saying he couldn't breathe long before that point. Plus, his knee was on the back of his neck for no more than 1 minute, I shouldn't have to explain this to you, your wind pipes are on the front of your neck, not the back.

BeMuse · Answer

Yeah because being pulled over for a minor speeding violation likely with no criminal history, and then being friendly and listening to a cop is the same as counterfeit money crimes, fraud, being belligerent and physically resisting arrest while being out of your mind on drugs… You need to stop smoking crack. You’re brain damaged beyond all repair, but if you stop now then maybe you won’t be drooling on yourself in a wheel chair in some drug clinic.

Whites were the slaves traded around.
In fact, under the ship's deck anyone turns pale and bright eyed, whatever you looked like prior to it (it is normal for humans who avoid UV and dark pigment melanin that the UV triggers to have bright skin and bright eyes - it is not genetic, try it).
In that sense, there is no such thing as the white privilege - just non acceptance of oppression by the bullying dark UV maniacs.

It's cute that you are so blinded by racism that you think all or even most white people wear ties and are treated well by police after committing a felony. Check your hate.

sixtyeightplusone · Answer

I'm only convinced that liberals gave you brain damage.

You get privilege if you don't act or dress like a ingrate.

Do you think a white man will get "privilege" or "be treated like a law abiding citizen" if you have a hells angles jacket on or a mohawk?

Stereotypes didn't get there by accident or random

So even blacks with their concealed carry permits carrying legally can't carry and criminal whites carrying illegal can? I never knew that! Whitey privlooge is realz!

Anonymous · Answer

It's almost like most cops are actually nice if you don't be fucking belligerent at them or fight them.

Anonymous · Answer

Maybe your experiences with cops are better because you're not assumed guilty, because you're white?
