white privilege is not about being free from force applied by police after resisting - its about never being put in that situation to begin with, 
The police have no control of what areas are high crime areas and what skin color abcriminall and suspected criminal is.

it’s about knowing you can have your day in court (because white people can afford to hire a lawyer) 
Public defenders are free and there are also poor white people.

it’s about not having to fear police due to racism and prejudice
People are responsible for their own feeling against police and they don't have to listen to retarded liberals that tell them the police are out to get them. 

A white guy would not be pulled over for being white in a white neighborhood or a black neighborhood. But black people do get pulled over for “driving while black” in a white neighborhood
The DWB thing is a joke made up by comedians and the trope of a black guy driving through a white neighborhood is a Hollywood myth. You got that impression from movies.

As far as being white driving through a black neighborhood. Yes it is pretty common for police to find an excuse to pull over whites in rough black areas. The reason being is that a lot of white drug addicts will get their drugs in those areas and usually the area is unsafe for whites, so it sends up red flags.

The privilege is the presumption of innocence most white people get (unless they are covered in tattoos or are obviously homeless or some other such characteristics) Black people don’t enjoy this privilege

We all get the presumption of innocence by law, the fairy tales you hear in Hollywood movies aside.

they have to deal with racism, prejudice, 
How many times have you been called a cracker by a black person? Think about it. Try to number the times if you can. Now name every time you called a black person nigger to their face.

One time my brother was arrested while walking down the street for a long-standing bench warrant issued for not showing in court for unpaid traffic violations. He got these when his financial situation was bad. But he had since married a wealthy woman who had money. They hired a lawyer who had just played golf with the judge overseeing his case. Needless to say my brother did not stay in jail very long and the case was dismissed. My brother didn’t resist the arrest but he had the luxury ( or privilege) of knowing that he was going to be released in short order. A poor black person could and likely would languish in jail for weeks if not months. That’s what causes their panic.
Did your brother get these advantages because of his skin color or because he married a rich bitch who hired a friend of the judge?

Otherwise it just sounds like you are talking about classicisnlm

And you blocked me because you are a coward

Why were people carrying Confederate flags in the US Capitol on January 6?
Probably southerners who pride themselves on being southern. I have black relatives who always keep the flag near them, only a retarded yank would think the flag means you are a part of the Hitler youth

White supremacy has become virtually unfalsifiable. Just about everything in society now finds itself under white supremacy’s ever expanding umbrella: capitalism, the criminal justice system, education, finance, healthcare, you name it.

Consider that even the “OK” hand signal has become a symbol of white supremacy. Some racist kids wondered if they could make the innocent OK sign into a white supremacy symbol, and they were more correct than they could have imagined. That’s a lot of power to cede to white supremacy. It makes me think that there exists a need for white supremacy to be ever present, that there is a certain power to be had in perpetual victimhood status.

No, I’m not talking about being in a high crime area,  I’m talking about being approached by police for no good reason. I’m talking about being pulled over for no good reason. I’m talking about being arrested when police could use their discretion to take an alternate course. I’m talking about the option of police to deescalate rather than escalate a given situation.

It’s pretty clear that you fit the definition of white trash. It’s not completely your fault of course, in your case you were born in to it, but you did make the decision to not improve your situation, challenging as it was no doubt.

I suspect they are proud of the old south, the south where black people knew their place. That’s the south they long for. That’s why they put up all those Confederate statues in the early 1900s. To remind blacks of their place in southern society. The United Daughters of the Confederacy were used as a shield to say it’s not about racism it’s just southern heritage and pride! FYI the UDC were strong supporters of the KKK. Google it, you don’t want to be a cracker all your life, do you?

The police also have no control over the discretion of the people they approach. Some can be openly hostile and make threats for no reason. Some without even noticing the color of the policeman's skin.

He was able to marry a rich white woman in part because he was white.

The wealth of his wife was made possible in part because her relatives were white.

He didn’t need to fear the police because he wasn’t going to be subjected to racism, bigotry, or prejudice.

The police were polite to him, he didn’t draw his gun or require my brother to lie facedown on the pavement or even sit on the curb.

It’s true a white trash guy in the same situation wouldn’t have the resources to hire a well connected lawyer, but he would still likely be handled differently by police during the arrest, he would be less likely to be humiliated during the arrest and he might know a friend who knows a cop that could get him a little slack. But having money has a big effect on how things will go in court. Skin color has more influence on how the arrest is handled. It’s true that not panicking is helpful but that’s easier to do when you have money and are treated fairly, that’s white privilege, or as you might say White Power lol

Malcolm X once said, “There are many whites who are trying to solve the problem. But, you never see them going under the label of liberals.” Malcolm highlighted that the White American who identifies as a liberal is the most ‘dangerous’ and ‘deceitful’ thing in the Western Hemisphere.

He further compares a liberal to a cunning fox, which unlike the wolf, deceits its prey. In other words, Malcolm X suggested that the ‘liberals’ who claim to be the ones fighting for the rights of black Americans is in fact exploiting them for their own benefits.

Malcolm stated, “The white liberal differs from the white conservative in one way. The liberal is more deceitful and hypocritical than the conservatives. Both want power. But, the white liberal has perfected the art of posing as the negro’s (sic) friend and benefactor.” He accused the liberals of using the black Americans as ‘political pawns’ in their political struggle against the conservatives.

“The American negro is nothing but a political football and the white liberals control this ball. Through tricks, tokenism, and false promises of integration and civil rights…,” he remarked. He blamed the Black civil rights leaders for selling the black community to the liberals for tokenism.

“The White liberal is the worst enemy to America and the worst enemy to the Black man. Let me first explain what I mean by this White liberal. In America there’s no such thing as Democrats and Republicans anymore. That’s antiquated. In America you have liberals and conservatives. This is what the American political structure boils down to among Whites. The only people who are still living in the past and thinks in terms of “I’m a Democrat” or “I’m a Republican” is the American Negro. He’s the one who runs around bragging about party affiliation and he’s the one who sticks to the Democrat or sticks to the Republican, but White people in America are divided into two groups, liberals and Republicans…or rather, liberals and conservatives. And when you find White people vote in the political picture, they’re not divided in terms of Democrats and Republicans, they’re divided consistently as conservatives and as liberal. The Democrats who are conservative vote with Republicans who are conservative. Democrats who are liberals vote with Republicans who are liberals. You find this in Washington, DC. Now the White liberals aren’t White people who are for independence, who are liberal, who are moral, who are ethical in their thinking, they are just a faction of White people who are jockeying for power the same as the White conservatives are a faction of White people who are jockeying for power. Now they are fighting each other for booty, for power, for prestige and the one who is the football in the game is the Negro. Twenty million Black people in this country are a political football, a political pawn an economic football, an economic pawn, a social football, a social pawn...”

There really is a unique cultural pathology going on here. If people from your group raised in the top 1% with every advantage in the world are still committing more crimes than poor people from my group
The whole point of the statistic is to show that incarceration rates do not match to who is committing the crimes.

The statistics alone do not prove this, but we do know the most prominent reason people in general and particularly people of color are arrested is for drug use, especially marijuana. Yet we also know that white people use drugs just as often as people of color, yet it’s the people of color who are being arrested for it.

Your statement here a perfect example of the problem. If we know both groups are using drugs at the same rate yet one is far more likely to be arrested for it then there is a serious problem with biased law enforcement. Yet that biased law enforcement is itself creating a perception that one group commits more crimes, and that perception then feeds into law enforcement.

But when we argue systemic racism is a real thing know one knows what we’re talking about.

This is actually a simple difference to explain. African Americans are more likely to sell and use drugs openly or carry them in the car with them, making it easier to arrest them. The typical suburban white dealer and user is dealing to a close circle of friends and getting high in their own homes. The discrepancy in arrests have nothing to do with all cops being racist or all judges being racist or any such nonsense

As Thett pointed out, Indigenous Blacks are far more likely to commit crimes than blacks immigrating from other cultures around the world of all wealth levels. This probably points to something other than skin color for the discrepancy. If you are raised in a culture that disrespects law and order, it's more likely you will end up in jail, regardless of your skin shade or whatever country you happen to live in. You can live in the most racist nation in the world (Japan, China) and have the wrong skin color (white) and this axiom still applies.

Did you really think Russia jailed that girl for her skin color?

Yet we also know that white people use drugs just as often as people of color, yet it’s the people of color who are being arrested for it.
If it were true that this is caused by differential arrest rates and not who actually committing crimes we would see white people be a larger portion of arrests for crimes that can’t be denied (aka violent crimes) vs drug crimes. Whites were 45% of violent crime arrests in 2018. Excluding assault, 39%. Black people were 33% and 36%. 


For drug abuse crimes whites were 70% of arrests and blacks were 27%. This set of stats doesn’t differentiate between non Hispanic whites and Hispanic whites so the “white” share isn’t super accurate but note that the black percentage went down compared to violent crimes. The exact opposite of what you’d expect if police were just letting white people off the hook while throwing the book at black people. Unless you wanna make make the case that there are tons of white violent criminals just running roughshod 


The “whites use more drugs than blacks” thing doesn’t pass the smell test to me. I’ve seen those studies and they’re all reliant on self reported data, and black people are usually not stupid enough to answer that question honestly. But if it’s true it seems to be reflected in the statistics where the white percentage of violent crimes was lower than drug crimes. What exactly is the complaint here? 

Your statement here a perfect example of the problem. If we know both groups are using drugs at the same rate yet one is far more likely to be arrested for it then there is a serious problem with biased law enforcement. Yet that biased law enforcement is itself creating a perception that one group commits more crimes, and that perception then feeds into law enforcement.
No the problem is that the rate of homicide in this community is so high that per capita it’s like two 9/11 tier events happening every single month. Drug crimes alone seem to be a tiny % of the incarcerated population anyway, and drug possession far less, so it probably doesn’t make that much of a difference statistically. Drug possession is less 4% of the total for incarcerated people (I would agree that it should basically be 0%) so it can’t possibly explain the disparity in incarceration rates

Talking to educated northeastern white liberals, the common perception is that if you have white skin, you can be just as disrespectful to the police as blacks often are and mostly get away with it for having white skin. 

I have never met any white person who personally had that happen. Ever. Have you?

I have had to bail out 3 of my white friends over the years though, One for DUI, one for pissing in the middle of the road and then mouthing off to the officer, and one for driving without a license.

Educated white libs are so out of touch with reality that it makes me question the utility of IQ to be honest. My only explanation is that blank statism is their religion and that they cling to their religion much more strongly than most Christians do. The world around us constantly contradicts it but they just keep doubling down year after year 

I don’t know who’s more disrespectful to the police but white libs are so divorced from the actual actual violence that they think most people are incarcerated for possessing weed or something where the police have discretion. In reality there’s an undercurrent of violence in the ghetto that’s frankly unimaginable to someone used to comfortable suburban existence. I said it in another post that the per capita homicide victimization for black people is so high it’s like constantly having a 9/11 tier event over whites. If black lives mattered maybe we could talk about fixing that instead of pushing narratives that divide the country

There's definitely less racism than there used to be, the last KKK lynching was in 1981 compared to approximately 76 a year on average between 1865 and 1950 (6500 total in that time period), but that doesn't mean it's gone or not a problem
Around 1,000 white men were lynched. Was that because of their race?

white privilege is not about being free from force applied by police after resisting -  its about never being put in that situation to begin with, it’s about knowing you can have your day in court (because white people can afford to hire a lawyer)
Not all white people can afford a Lawer. And a lot of black people can. 

A white guy would not be pulled over for being white in a white neighborhood or a black neighborhood. But black people do get pulled over for “driving while black” in a white neighborhood.
No evidence for that whatsoever, and that is racist to say. Calling black people oppressed is being racist towards black people, because you're assuming they can't live a normal life. 

The privilege is the presumption of innocence most white people get (unless they are covered in tattoos or are obviously homeless or some other such characteristics) Black people don’t enjoy this privilege.
Yes, they do, it's a free country. Yes, there are racist cops out there, but that doesn't make the whole law enforcement racists. You can't define all police just because of one bad apple.

What can you tell me about the Tulsa race Massacre of 1921?
What happened to a guy named Rodney King?
Was Obama born in Hawaii? Why do so many Americans think he was born in Somalia?
Why were people carrying Confederate flags in the US Capitol on January 6?
1921, not the young generation. 

Rodney King is one example of real police brutality. Not proof of any racist culture. 

Obama was born in Hawaii...the only people who denied that were desperate with their political views. 

There were also KKK members at Trump rallies. So what? Again, just because bad people do bad stuff, that does not give you the right to paint everyone that was at that location, racist. 

I am saying that this generation is growing up in a very inclusive culture, and a non-racist one. Yes of course there are racists, but the culture itself is not racist. You can't define a whole culture off of a couple of bad apples. 

Also unblock me Rosavelt, I can't respond to your very interesting questions.

Here is the point I'm trying to make:

America is not racist at all. Of course, there are going to be racists out there, there is nothing we can do about letting people have opinions. But the majority, and I mean vast majority of America is definitely anti-racist. If anything, democrats are the ones we should be calling racist, not republicans.

I mean look at this:

Who killed Lincoln? A Democrat.
Who killed JFK? A Democrat.
Who killed MLK? A Democrat.
Who created the KKK? Democrats.
Who Lynched Blacks? Democrats.
Who supported segregation? Democrats.
Who created Jim Crow? Democrats.
Who supported Internment Camps? Democrats.
Who were the Confederacy? Democrats.

And who are called the racists? Republicans. 

Yes, the statistics show that blacks cause more crime than whites, and that there are more black inmates than white ones. But if you look deeper into it, you see it's not a race problem, but a fatherless home problem, or bad father figure home problem. 


And which community has the biggest mother only, and father less home rate? The black community.

This isn't about people being racist. Sure, there are racist people and instances of people like police officers being racist:  

But that does not mean that all officers are racist. If that were the case, then there would be a lot more officers being prosecuted then there are right now.  

If you take classes like I have on Law Enforcement, you will learn that the type of use of force officers have to use. 
First it is verbal. 
Then visual. 
Then less lethal.
Then lethal. 

And officers have to use force all the way to protect others and themselves because after all, the officers are human beings too. 

And officers have to use this in all situations as well, because just because someone seems like a non-threat, doesn't mean they aren't a threat. 


So no, there is no white supremacy in America, and there is no race problem in America. It all has to do with culture.
