I give you Cliven Bundy as evidence of a difference. What would have been the response of Fox News if these people had been non-whites, armed to the teeth, pointing their weapons?
What happened recently when a very wealthy black woman, well dressed, went into a store and asked to see a very expensive purse? Was she well treated because no one saw her race, just that she shared those Judeo Christian and Protestant values? Ask Oprah.
Sure it is all just a class issues not a color issue. Although pot usage is identical in black vs white, a black person is 4 times more likely to be arrested. The black/white marijuana arrest gap, in nine charts - The Washington Post
Ask Raymond Wilford about the equal treatment of black vs white where the cops pepper sprayed and arrested the wrong person in an altercation in Seattle even as white eyewitnesses told them it was the white guy who caused the problem.

If you and others can't see white privilege in action every day of your life, that is no doubt because you are benefitting from it. What is truly sickening to me is people who refuse to see the obvious. |
Basically, the argument of white privilege (which you have espoused more or less) says "white people are bad, they stole everything and America's been a gyp job" since the Founding ... ie my paraphrase. Hence, the ideological groundwork for continuation of white guilt and the eventual case for reparations etc. That's actually pretty obvious.
What's also obvious is the Attorney General and MO Gov rode into town, played to the mob shamelessly (by the way, do you deny it was a mob?) and did everything but offer them the rope. This is the path, if not challenged, that eventually leads to a Robespierre as each demagogue (eg Al Sharpton) raises the stakes to satiate what is essentially a very ignorant mob with easily inflamed passions.
I repeat ... the root cancer is cultural and class, not race. That truly is obvious but we can't say that or we get dumped on by the PC crowd. It's also a reflection of what happens when a civilization loses the morality that had been bestowed on it by Judeo Christian ethics and religion.
Another obvious reality ... if a mob loots stores (no matter the reason), and especially if they use firearms to shoot their way into stores (as happened in at least one instance in Ferguson), the Police or National Guard should use their rifles to disperse the crowd. 1st volley is rubber bullets. If that doesn't work, then reload with real bullets.
What, out of curiosity, would you do to control a mob that was getting ready to attack loot and destroy your lifetime of work ... ie business?
