Oh if only white privilege didnt come with so much ignorance.
What white fucking privilege are you talking about?
How about this for a few kicks in the ass Lucy:
All five officers slain in Dallas were known to the Black Lives Matter leaders who organized the protest, known for being there to help, protect, and to head off confrontations before they could happen.
In other words, all five of the dead cops supported what these people were trying to do.
In the last year, 12 officers in the state of Texas were ambushed by gunmen with the intent to kill them, other incidents are suspected, but as of yet not considered planned attacks.
White males are still hold the first place for suspects shot by cops, contrary to what the media, Canadians and every other brainless fuck that cant research facts for themselves.
Less than 1% of all uniformed police officers in the United States are involved in a shooting of a suspect, 990 last year, or 1 in 772 officers drew, fired a weapon and killed someone, with the odds being the person killed was a white male.
There are 765000 patrol officers on the streets of the US.
White Males shot by cops 494
Black Males shot by cops 258
In other words, white males are shot for every one of any other race, contrary to what everyone is saying around the fucking planet.
Does racial profiling happen?
Yes, I will not deny it.
Groups most frequently unfairly targeted?
Muslims (or anyone remotely looking like they are Muslim) at a rate that is 5 times higher than any other minority in the US, with exceptions.
In areas that are predominately white, African Americans and Hispanics are stopped more than whites.
Hispanic and African American males dressed in the 'gangsta' style, are hassled more often by police of all races.
In parts of LA, Latin Americans are stopped more often when they are driving 'lowriders' than Latin Americans driving muscle car type hotrods.
In this part of West Texas, teenage white males in pickups are more often stopped by county and state patrolman and vehicles searched for alcohol than any other race (strangely enough, this results in more misdemeanor pot busts.)
Middle aged white males in this part of Texas are stopped more often than white females by state, county and city cops when they are driving muscle cars, this is directly attributed to the fact that locally, middle aged white males are the number one group ticketed for street racing.
The local bars most often raided by city police are the Long Branch, Guitars and Cadilacs, and until the fire burned it down, Dirty Joe's (biker bar.)
Of course, anyone riding a Harley wearing anything that remotely resembles biker gang attire is gonna be stopped just about anywhere in Texas, this includes the group "Bikers for Jesus."
I used to buy my cigarettes at a local discount smoke shop that also sold pipes used for pot, meth and crack. I quit after I was stopped six times in a row and asked if I would mind my truck being searched, and I am a white male aged 55.
My point, profiling exists, unfortunately a part of human nature, and in some places, a part of the professional standard operating procedure.
And, contrary to what the people in other countries want to admit, it happens in every fucking country on the fucking planet.
White fucking privilege?
I dont want to hear it, not when affirmative action still skews entrance allocations to minorities based on sex, race and religion. The only privilege in the US is who has money.
Lets go a bit further on privilege.
Homeless vets out number every other classification 3 to one in the US, yet some man or woman regardless of race is lower on the housing assistance list than a minority woman with or without kids.
Suicide rates among vets is 4 times the national average for any other group.
Drug addiction among vets is 8 times higher than any other group, with the leading cause of drug use being self medication.
White males are 3 times more likely to be laid off than white females and males of any other group, thanks to various affirmative action tax breaks for hiring minorities and women, hell if the woman is a minority, pregnant and a single mom, it is the tax break jackpot.
Let me give you an example of white privilege from my own past.
When I was in college after I got out of the army, I got custody of my son.
I was living in a loft apartment with about 250 square feet of living space.
I applied for assistance to get into a two bedroom apartment both at my school and the local housing authority.
After 3 months I was told that although I was a single parent, I did not qualify for immediate assistance because I was male, and was living in a place that, while substandard for having my son living with me, put me on a lower priority than women who were in the same situation, I was also informed that me being a white male also was a limiting factor.
I was even shown the guidelines for priority housing, and low and behold, female, minority were priorities.
I had to have my landlord evict my ass to get help with an apartment.
I believe that entrance to schools should be based on merit, public assistance for whatever should be based on need, and nothing should be based on gender or skin color.
I dont give a fuck what color someone's skin is when it comes to some fuck up of a cop who should not wear a badge blowing them away for no good reason. Yeah, black Americans are in the news because they are black.
But black American males or any other minority are less likely to be shot by a cop than whites.
