Whatever happened to white immunity
The milky skinned man, the pale boy, and coded bigotry?

Everywhere you look
There's a farce
There's a farce
A scam to hold onto

Everywhere you look
There a white skin tone
White skin tone
You can have all your own

When you're lost in privilege
 Feeling all alone
Like minded ignorance 
Will carry you home

EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK!

That was just awful.

A very long time ago, I lived in a city where there was this place called Cook's Tavern. Cook's was in a black neighborhood. It was the place to go to when you couldn't find any weed anywhere else. People were sort of afraid to go there. It was the source of last resort for young white college boys. But if you had to go there, you generally didn't have to go inside. You just pulled up next to the place, and within a minute or two a dealer would be tapping on your window. You could generally do the deal right there at curbside. Sometimes the guy would want you to step back into an alley with him, which a lot of people were too scared to do. The guy would want just one person to go with him, and the bravest person always got sent. So I got sent every time.

But a couple of times, the dealers weren't working the street by Cook's. The police would be watching the street too closely, so the dealers moved business off of the street until the heat died down. During those times, the only way to score was to go inside Cook's. I wasn't afraid of Cook's, and I would go right in. The other white boys would wait out in the car, practically pissing themselves. I would be inside enjoying a beer and scoring some weed with a bunch of black guys and listening to some great blues. The terror of the white boys waiting out in the car for me was so fucking funny to me.

Brian reminds me of those white boys who would sit out in the car, pissing himself.

Yes, it was intended to be.

But what Aunt Becky did was far more awful.

She paid to get her daughter attention. I posted this without making a dime.

I myself was not a great college student. I got B's and C's. But my mom didn't buy a library, or pay someone to cheat for me, for me to get into the college I did. Ironically, I graduated from the same college Jerry Falwell dropped out of. Not the university he founded, but a prior local college that he briefly attended. Jerry Falwell never got a lagit college degree. I did.

Sorry, what does the cheating scandal have to do with white privilege?

She didn't end up dead interacting with police. Just like Roger Stone was a fucking asshole for trying to equate his arrest to being treated like like Bin Laden.

She like Stone are white, have money and power and can make bail. But minorities, even accused of shoplifting, or pot possession are far more likely to be treated more severely than a white person charged with a similar crime.

Wow.  That's just...wow. Not getting shot by cops equals white privilege?

Yea it does. How much do you want bet, that if a black actress were accused of the same trying to get her daughter into a school by cheating, that her bail would be higher and if convicted her sentence longer?

FYI I am white. Once I was playing with a toy cap gun as a kid, back when it was legal to make them full scale and realistic. I was shooting it off. Someone called the cops on me. Cop showed up, jumped out of his car, drew his gun on me. I didn't get shot. As an adult I once was speeding through a neighborhood because I had left work feeling sick, trying to get to my girlfriend's house at the time. A speed trap got me, I did pull over, but was so upset I pulled out my wallet and threw it at the cop through my window. Both times I did not end up dead.

But even without a black person dying. A black person charged with the same crime the actress was accused of, is far more likely to have a higher bail, and more likely to serve more time if convicted of the same crime.

The fact is, between whites and minorities, even between violent and non violent crimes, minorities ON AVERAGE get treated more harshly with fines, and sentences and are far more likely to get injured or killed interacting with police. 

It still remains that if I get pulled over for pot possession, vs any minority, even if they make it to jail and trial, that minority is far more likely to get treated more harshly than I would under similar conditions.

So, these rich people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to get their kids into top schools.

For that money they could just buy a new kid!

Is this the 3rd wife
Is this adultery
Caught in a bad lie
No escaping a felony
Open your eyes
Wake up to the lies & see
Don is a fool boy
Doesn't know history
he’s pretty dumb pretty slow
Tiny hands orange glow
As long as he goes
Doesn’t really matter to me...
