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. |
When I see a mention of Fox news in a post, I KNOW where that poster is coming from. I never see anyone alluding to the unbelievable news coverage on MSNBC, but the minute I see the Fox comments, I KNOW where that poster is coming from. This from someone who watches neither but understands the brainwashing aspect.
There was a shooting of a white unarmed young man in Salt Lake City by a black police officer. There are in fact protestors because it appears he was unarmed and thought to be armed. Legitimate questions are raised....
NO LOOTING....NO VIOLENCE....and thus far, not a mention of RACE, and the only reason, it appears, that the race is known is that it happened on the same day as the tragedy in Ferguson. Betting that was not on anyones tv screen !!!!
There are those like Sharpton, Jackson, Crump who rely on situations like this. That is the problem that you blame on whites in general.
Is there racism ? Sure, on all sides and has been forever. In the next 10 years white will not be a majority and then can claim that minority status I suppose. The quick draw response to call everyone racism without ever ever looking at root causes, such as culture, politics, economics will allow us to drown in this sea of hate that is being "taught" to young people.
