Yeah, 40 years after it began being used.  So, uh, maybe read the whole thing about “context matters”.

See but if the supposed “good apples” aren’t doing jack or shit about the bad apples, then what’s the difference?

If your kid’s options for a hangout are pig or crackhead, I think you’ve failed as a parent.

Well nobody is born a cop, it is universally a DECISION to be a part of this profession, so your comparison is really weak. I didn’t expect you to actually spring into ‘blame certain communities’ with such aplomb though. Your screeds belong in the 80s when ‘tough on crime’ philosophy sold better among white folks.…

I’m only slightly impressed that they went with the ‘lying on his job app’ way of firing him.

It’ll do exactly as much as the cops would!

NYPD is going to use this to collect evidence and lift prints

it’s described as “a more mature take on the universe created by George Lucas.”

Isn’t this the equivalent of offering free candy from a van. This just raises more red flags

“Potential crime?” They’re NYPD, not fucking Precogs.

What the fuck? I hope your not that stupid. 

I heard a version of that from so many white liberals at college acceptance time.

There’s never a cop around when you need one anyway, so…

She literally said Taylor only got the job because she’s Black.

Casual racism is, surprisingly, still racism.

You make it sound like there’s a level of racism that is allowable.
People have lost their jobs and livelihood due to racism.
That shit, is as malicious as it comes.
Don’t believe me? Go one day without food or power. Come back to me.

This is White Liberal Racism (I’m just assuming Nichols is a liberal but it doesn’t really matter). It’s generally not in-your-face bigotry. But it is white people assuming the black candidate gets the job because of diversity and not because they’re the best choice. 

The fact that you think those things are “doing their job” is a sterling example of the systemic problems they have.

Something tells me you’ve already heard the rational reasons for defunding the police and chose to ignore them.

“intentions” don’t have any-fucking-thing to do with whether something is racist or not, and so long as white people get to define racism by what they feel is in their heart, we will never make real headway for equality
