Here's an example of my white male privilege.

[MineralMan]

65. Well, he got fired.

I reported his behavior to the security company, and informed the owners of the store, who also reported him.

He wasn't a cop...just a rent-a-cop security patrol worker. Many of those people are individuals who would like to be cops, but who don't qualify for one reason or another. They like their badge, gun, and illusion of having authority way more than that is safe for people who encounter them.

I have zero patience for such people, and consider them to be a danger.

My point with this thread was to point out the sharp discrepancy with how authoritarian types treat some groups, contrasted with other groups. Recognizing our own privilege can help us to understand how people without the same privilege feel and are treated. People with privilege are not faced with the same challenges from authoritarians.

That is wrong.
