That’s because white people think they are America. Which is why you can have all these confederate flag jack-asses calling themselves patriot. America is whatever the hell they want it to be at any given time and in any given state. The pledge of allegiance is actually just a pledge of fealty to whiteness and the…

Of course the only non-white looking cop HAD to have something signifying he was an officer on his person otherwise who’s to stop them from shooting him, too? Seriously though, a situation supposedly so dangerous that a man needs to be killed and these cops aren’t even wearing protective material.

Black people were also largely prevented from accessing the benefits of the GI bill that helped returning soldiers and their families become homeowners and build wealth after ww2.

Right? We seem to struggle with paying teachers...

Part of the privileged of whiteness is not having to definitively describe yourself, the things you own, spaces you create, etc. as white. Other people are just supposed to understand without you saying anything and behave accordingly.

I’d like to add that, surely, some of these people have fantasized about assaulting the opposite sex in the bathroom and are just pissed that “trans-people are getting what amounts to ‘permission’ to do so”. Barf.

I dunno, they may have a few token spots left open. It’s always convenient to have a ‘friend’ in every color who’s willing to punch down.

People have a(n) (un)conscious tendency to want to lighten dark skin (and trim facial features to that ‘factory’ setting) in art for various screwed up reasons.

Technically Ben Carson’s starting career was in the field of medicine, where he excelled. He’s only shown his ineptitude in his political ventures. Trump is a failure as a businessman AND a politician.

I imagine the only reason no one died is because there were three of them and only one of him. If he’d encounter just one of them he could have murdered them and cried about how terrified he was. If he’d tried to kill one of the three, the other two could have subdued him and lived to tell their side of the story.

This. Honestly though, as much as I can’t stand all this crap I’m really hoping all this exposed ‘reverse-racist white outrage’ really drives home to people:

Calling the authorities hoping for a public lynching =/= ‘petty nonsense’.

I’m torn. His restraint and the restraint of millions of regular black & brown people dealing with this crap while we go about our lives is never noticed. Racist white people like this get reared up for a fight or argument that’ll prove their world view that ‘minorities are all violent’, knowing that even if they’re…

Yeah, he’s gone and dug an even bigger hole for himself. Future employers will check his social media.

White people gentrifying areas like this want to live around other people w/o having to actually live around other people . They want this kind of ‘colorful’, social, convenient atmosphere but they want to have absolute control over it; like, clap on-clap off type control. On Monday, the popular, friendly ethnic food…

Before I read the article, I thought that was a picture of the same person in 3 different ...’cosplays’.

It’s always been this way. We just have better ways of documenting and presenting it now.

But that’s the point. They want us dead/gone. They just use the police so they don’t have to dirty their own hands.

I wonder if N. Korea is taking this chance to make themselves look better because of Trump; or if they feel confident in negotiating with him because they don’t take him seriously/aren’t intimidated by him.

What a dummy. Wasting all that time/effort when he could have just made up some fake criminal offense and called the police.
