Haha…
I’m about to get roasted too.
When Mike Brown got shot, it was right in the thick of the race wars.
The media was race baiting everything. Every time a black person got shot by a white cop the press was all over it.
So I decided to actually find out what was true.
It took me a while and some really boring reading and digging through internet archives like a pig for truffles but eventually I found what I felt was enough to have a accurate understanding of what was happening as far White Cops, killing black people.
I dug through Medical Examiner reports from the 20 biggest cities in the USA for the last ten years and lots of other things and what I found was that while blacks doubled that of any other race for arrests esp felony arrests , whites doubled that of blacks for arrest related deaths — which is the death of an individual 24 hours after or during arrest.
Wow huh?
This doesn’t mean that racism doesn’t exist.
But it means that the media was race baiting us.
It was really appalling too when I would find some tiny article that no one knew about , mentioning the death of a white pregnant mother of three who was unarmed. Or the video tape of the worst police brutality I’ve ever seen — a white kid, who literally did nothing ( and I watched the video tape of him at the train station for a good 15 mins before the police arrived and started to beat him because he was sitting down and wouldn’t get up) and died from being tazed and beat with billy clubs by three cops in Orange County. Why didn’t anyone care then?
Why when we saw Sandra Bland, and probably the very best evidence of how we have a POLICE problem here — why did that go away and why did that cop get off without a hitch?
By the way, the cop that killed that pregannt mom? Wasn’t even suspended .
We have a cop problem.
It’s very different from a race problem. Or from police systematically shooting black people on purpose . The facts support that.
Racism? Can’t really comment on that except to say I have never been witness to it, and don’t know any.
I have never met a “real racist” although recently, Donald Trump , not so much him, but his supporters have kind of convinced me that racism is alive and well. At least with the underbelly of America . Our poor, uneducated and stupid America .
Ironic but in the upper class it’s virtually non existent.
Sometimes I think discernment gets confused with racism.
Like If I see a bunch of guys with their pants down to their knees speaking Ebonics , I’m gonna think theyre idiots.
That’s not racism. That’s discernment.
I also think America elected a black man twice, to be President. So that also kinda proves at least half of us , aren’t racists.
Am I a racist if I get really nervous when Arab guys get on a plane with me?
I’m just being brutally honest here.
Much like the author I feel like I have nothing to hide. Because I know who I am.
I’m not racist , and either is she.
Call me an arrogant white privileged out bitch,
But I kinda think people like me and the author here are the least racist.
Because we don’t hide. Because there isn’t anything we have to hide.
Sometimes I see white people blindly support everything having to do with Muslims , black people whatever. They are protesting for Mike Brown ( even though anyone with a Brain knows he is guilty as sin and all his friends lied. Badly. ) they are laughing loudly at every joke a black person tells. They are over compensating hard. They are flashing big smiles and going out of their way to make sure you know they aren’t racist.
Why? Why you think ?
Because they are probably a lot more racist than me. And the author.
They are afraid to be classed as Bigots. They are way more aware of the color of your skin than me.
I’m just human. Just like you.
