Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, have you heard of this?

[The Grand Nudger]

Right, and this a problem I've mentioned.  Wherever there is the ability or need to arbitrate, then the stereotypes that an officer operates on will lead to that.  And it's not only white cops, right?  My understanding is that black cops also preferentially detain or harass black civilians-- so they have the same stereotypes in play.

I don't know what the solution to that is.  I'd imagine that outraged civilians with guns or a couple torched police stations might make people think twice.

It's institutional (even if some of it is personal) yeah.  I suspect that civvies with guns and torched stations will lead to an even more severe example of Ferguson, personally.   More "Blue Lives Matter".  More extrajudicial killings.

I have no doubt that there's a great deal of racial prejudice in much of the south, and probably everywhere.  Certainly, I can say that Asian countries explicitly and unapologetically look down on black people.

Sure, to an extent, it's baked into what we are as creatures.  That's part of why racist ideology and positions are appealing, even to what we would all consider a non-racist person.

I'd rather make it an entitlement of citizenship, and bundle it with clearly-outline responsibilities.

We're trying to do that here...with work requirements.  Don't even get me started on how silly, fact divorced, and overtly (but acceptably) racist that one is.  That's just an example from the US of America, ofc, that shows how the language of white supremacy attempts to weasel it's way into law - not necessarily something you think is a good idea.

Don't you dare agree with me.  I've been saying this for many pages.  

-and I've been telling you..for pages, that we would agree on most if not all issues.  You've been saying many things these last few pages, and even in the context of this example you began with the notion of taking this or that from some other group and giving it to a disadvantaged group.  

The area in which we do not agree is your perpetuation of the white victimization complex, the language and examples you use to defend and assert it, and it's ultimate origin as a part of your positions.

-and yes..yes yes yes..a thousand times yes, I get that you don't think you're doing that, and that when you're doing that you're certain that you're just telling it like it is, and that you've come to it entirely on your own.
