(8,175 posts)That has a history in this country, of violence between Mormons and the government, and a belief by many fundamentalist Mormons that the Government should not have any power over the state, since the inception of that religion. this is something that most Mormons don't support any more, but there are still quite a few who do, and they will continue to be law breakers until there aren't any left.
First though, I need to apologize to you. I read your post without the context of the initial post you were responding to, which was about white privilege. I am sorry I missed that. I responded to you because it sounded like you weren't happy that whites didn't die as often as blacks at the hands of police. That is all I was addressing. Your tone.
I never doubted or even said I doubted the real fact of white privilege in this country and how POC are affected. You were accusing me of not understanding what it is, and I wasn't going to play your game.
I am sorry for taking your words out of context. This conversation never would have happened.
Second, this thread is not about white privilege or POC being shot by police, so I'm not going to continue this argument with you. I'm sticking to the topic. You can go back to discussing it with Nye Bevan if you wish.
