White Privilege

1. When less privileged people walk down the street with skittles and a hoodie

they get shot and killed for looking dangerous.

But nothing dangerous about people calling for genocide and threatening violence and beating people and running them down with cars

All just an innocent misunderstanding. Society has failed to address their issues so the nazis are the real victims here.

2. My thoughts exactly!

8. Or a little boy plays in the park with a toy gun

and gets shot for being a kid...they don't even come to a full stop before they execute him.

It is just beyond belief.

9. Yup and police killed an innocent Brazilian because he looked Middle Eastern

"stated that they were satisfied that they had the correct man, noting that he 'had Mongolian eyes'."

But nazis marching the streets with flaming torches and beating innocent people with sticks is something the police can't get involved in.

12. Yeah, wonder what would happen if a bunch of heavily armed

POC marched with torches? Never mind, we've already seen what happens when they march peacefully and unarmed.

I really believed that things had improved...that there was a long way to go, but that there had been some progress.

Now, I believe that things have moved backward.

White pride? I'm sometimes ashamed of the color of my skin, because it associates me with those who would harm others out of hate.

3. I just got into an argument with my boss about racism and privilege.

We've got the kind of relationship where we can have these contentious conversations and learn from one another. It's pretty cool. He's not a Trump supporter by any stretch of the imagination, but we definitely differ politically. So plenty of room for discourse.

This morning it was like beating my head against a wall. I could not get him to appreciate the differences amongst prejudice, bigotry, discrimination, and racism.

5. i'm surprised trump wasn't out there marching with them

[thbobby]

6. I'm not surprised

Trump is even weaker and more pathetic than they are.

Besides, who believes that Trump could march even a block. He would have to be on a golf cart.

[Bettie]

13. He wouldn't march

but he could have taken a golf cart, golden perhaps, to "march" with them.

16. He was, they were marching in his name as the diablo incarnate dd states so proudly

[skypilot]

17. He doesn't have the "stamina".

10. Guns. Most of those Nazis carried big guns.

What if another sort of people had done that, converging on a small town to march through it armed like a conquering army? We need to mention the not really veiled threat in that action. Sticks, baseball bats, flammable-liquid torches, and various large guns.

11. And if that's not enough, then listening to a racist President calling them "very good people"

[onetexan]

14. ummm...tiki torches were actually invented by the Polynesians

and they're not exactly white. The horror that these dimwitted Nazis didn't think of that before they started using tiki torches?

15. Nazis running wild is not only white privilege

It's also right-wing privilege. Remember that those Nazi scum murdered a left-wing white woman, martyring her.

If white liberals and other left-wingers took the streets with the intention of roughing up conservatives, the riot cops would kill them all, not even bothering with due process.
