Do u believe that White privilege actually exists ? 馃挕

For example. If an officer stops a person of color they are 3 times more likely to be harassed or shot by a cop. Or discriminated against. Or charged and given a higher life sentence for the same offense. You've seen how race has become an issue over the past few years especially in the US. Do you believe that white privilege exists.

No because when you dig deeper you find they refused to take their hands out of their pockets, rushed the cop, refused to show ID, or many other things. Skin color has little to do with it from the law enforcement side. It may be reverse racism causing civil unrest and them having to deal with the consequences.

@MasterLee You're nuts. Do you even watch the news?
MasterLee56-60, M
@MarkPaul yes I do. I don't watch CNN, maybe that's why I am not brainwashed.
MarkPaul26-30, M
@MasterLee It sounds like you are brainwashed or that you are watching (white) edited versions of the videos for your delicate trump-like ego. The guy who told the cop he had a concealed weapon and was shot in cold blood with a 4 year-old in the back seat. The guy who was a therapist for an autistic guy who was holding up a toy truck in the street and shot in the leg by a cop. The little kid with a toy pistol. Check-in to the real-world from time to time.

@MasterLee This is a very subjective and biased.opinion here.
MasterLee56-60, M
@MarkPaul so because I don't believe your accounts I am a supporter of trump and have a fragile ego? How interesting.

@MasterLee Any media big corporation platform controls everybody to some degree.

@MasterLee I dunno. When I had long hair down my back in my 20's I got hassled all the time. Had nothing to do my attitude-- always followed directions-- or criminal activity-- have no record. Shit like walking at night and finding yourself cuffed face down on the ground.

As soon as I cut my hair and dressed business casual-- nothing. Over night turned off. Not even speeding tickets. Walk anywhere I want at night. Nobody following me about in stores. Not having the cops called *for being in your own yard*.

So I can see really different looking people catching shit.

@CopperCicada Well said. People are always treated by how they look. Even I can admit to that. 馃檪

Wait, you think these are lies? There's a youtube video of that one where the man is shot to death with his baby in the back seat
CopperCicadaM
@Pikachu Well. That's really the heart of this, right? People not just not listening to but not believing eachother's narratives.
Zonuss41-45, M
Master Lee is the master of denial.
MarkPaul26-30, M
@Zonuss. . . and talking points.
MasterLee56-60, M
@MarkPaul like your posts are anything but...
MarkPaul26-30, M
@MasterLee Well, that certainly clears up your lying and blaming CNN for factual videos that shows you don't know what you are talking about.
MasterLee56-60, M
So keep the insults coming. It certainly will convince me eventually you are not nuts. Good luck.
MarkPaul26-30, M
@MasterLee Just stop supporting cold blooded murder no matter who is doing the shooting because you think it makes you look cool. Okay, dude?
MasterLee56-60, M
@MarkPaul I have never supported that. Now you are getting desperate.
MarkPaul26-30, M
@MasterLee Read the talking points you copy-and-pasted earlier in the discussion to find out what you originally supported.
MasterLee56-60, M
@MarkPaul I did no such thing. Now I know you are confused.
MarkPaul26-30, M
@MasterLee Well, at least we know you have learned how to deny the facts...

Let's summarize and watch you deny, deflect, and ignore to preserve your fragile trump-like ego at all costs...

1. You: "...when you dig deeper you find they refused to take their hands out of their pockets, rushed the cop, refused to show ID, or many other things. Skin color has little to do with it..."

Facts: The full unedited videos show (a) a person letting the police know he has a concealed weapon with a right to carry and the police telling him to show his identification. When he reached for his identification, the officer shot him dead with a 4 year old in the back seat. (b) a therapist following "orders" to lay on his belly in the street as he screams out the guy with the toy truck is autistic and to please not hurt him. A cop shoots the therapist in the leg and when the therapist asks him, "why did you shoot me?" the cop says, "I don't know." (c) a little boy has a toy gun near a park. The police shoot him dead.

You: "I don't believe your accounts" (actual videos). There's plenty more examples for anyone of any political persuasion to find on their own.

Criticism of You: "Your a master of denial and talking points."

You: "No, you are."
MasterLee56-60, M
@MarkPaul BS, I saw no video of which you speak. You just don't like my answers. You just want to pick a fight. You obviously have much more time to cherry pick the news.

You: neener neener neener.
MarkPaul26-30, M
@MasterLee Stop being so delicate. Stop running away from the truth. Stop hiding. The facts won't really hurt you. Recognizing you might have been wrong won't diminish you. And, who knows, you might find your humanity isn't really lost forever.
Zonuss41-45, M
@MarkPaul He has mental blocks that prevents him from being logical about this issue.
He is driven by his own emotionalism as you can plainly see.
MasterLee56-60, M
What I find amazing is how important I must be in your lives. You constantly attack me, make shit up about me, and attribute some much twisted shit about me. I just have to sit back and laugh at your absurdity. So much wasted effort on your part. If only you could focus on facts and stop this petty shit, we could accomplish much in this country. I am amazed.
