Please Justify This Police Action For Me

[Irreligious Atheist]

I agree that many blacks have an uphill battle, but why are we calling it a white supremacist status quo?

Because we care about correct information, remember?

Why are Jews and Asians doing better than whites if it simply comes down to white supremacy? Why do African immigrants do better than whites? Indians generally have darker skin that whites, don't they? Why is the government letting in so many non-white people to the point where whites are going to no longer by the majority? Not everything comes down to white supremacy. Yes, the rich get richer and the poor stay poor, but not everything comes down to skin colour. Does the government care about black people? Nope, but I don't think it's as simple as calling everything white supremacy.

I have a cup of coffee in my hand, not a cup of white supremacy.  Obviously, no one is calling everything white supremacy.  

I find another occasion to ask you whether the absurdity of your situation ever hits you.  Is this one of those times that you don't mind making common cause with white supremacists or being called a racist because, you think, they can make good arguments, and that these are those arguments?  

Why are police acclimated to this sort of violence, and how did our system get this way so that police officers could be acclimated in this way?  Any ideas?  Faintest clue?  Is there simply no way to know and no relevant facts, for context?

If I didn't think the arguments were good ones, I wouldn't be using them. If a white supremacist says the sky is blue, I'm not going to disagree just because I don't want to be confused for one of them. I'm not going to tip toe around things so as to not be seen as a hateful person. If someone wants to see me that way, good for them. White supremacist status quo doesn't sound entirely correct to me, so I don't use that language. White privilege doesn't sound like the best term to use either to me, so I don't use that either, because others have even more privilege than whites, and I don't think it makes the most sense to just demonize white people all day long. Yes, white people have privilege over others. Some other races are also doing better than whites and have even more privilege. I don't think we're solving societies problems by going on about white people all day long.

Blacks have been mistreated for a long time, going back to slavery. They are still mistreated by many cops and the system. I do not defend that, nor have I defended this 9 year old girl being pepper sprayed, so I don't know what to tell you.
