Is white privilege real? To what extent?
RE: Is white privilege real? To what extent?
(July 17, 2016 at 1:47 pm)Rhythm Wrote: Acquitted means they were charged and not convicted Paul.  It won't be difficult for you to find a multitude of examples wherein the cops who beat a black guy to death, again for lesser or no reason... don't even have to go through the trouble of having their fine, fine characters impugned in the first place, lol.  Most of the time, white privilege is the expectation that things will go how they're supposed to go, how we say they should go.  Fantastically low bar, right there, that demonstrates the ubiquity of discrimination and racism..if you ask me.  That a black male in much less strident circumstances could not reasonably suspect so much as charges and acquittal, should he find himself a corpse...that his family won't even get -that- little shred of dignity, however hollow.  

Now you're arguing my choice of phrase rather than the content?  I think you might be out of gas on this one.
Ok so his privilege is that the officers were charged then aquitted, and he's enjoying this from beyond the grave.  Is this your statement and you don't want to change how you're phrasing it?  I don't mind what phrases you use to expain the context just so long as it's understandable as to what you're saying this white person's privilege was.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
