Knicks · VOTE............. (page 35)
Not getting your ass shot by a cop, when a black person most likely would be,
Its getting more favorable mortgage rates vs black people with the same credit rating.
Its getting shown homes in neighborhoods that black folks wouldnt be shown.
Its having your physical pain being treated seriously by some doctors and black people sent home, because they're treated like drug addicts.
Its more favorable sentencing for drug crimes if you're white (see old Rockefeller drug laws)
Its not being treated automatically like a potential thief when shopping.
Its not having a cab you tried to hail drive right past you (if you're black) and pick up the white guy in the suit.
White privelege is everywhere. Take off the blinders.

The privilege of this guy. Blaming everyone else when he attacked a joint session of congress. These people really believe they could go to washigton try to overthrow the government and just go on with their lives like nothing happened. How fd in the head do you have to be to believe that.
You hit it on the head. These people think the entire country only belongs to them. The one good thing I can say about the Trump era is it really brought the problem of white privilege to the forefront in this country.
That's not what the term is meant to convey. It's meant to convey the reality that peaceful protesters can get gassed while domestic terrorist blocks away get treated with kids gloves and cry when they start getting hit with similar consequences. These are the same consequences that the CHAZ protesters faced. Why should these terrorists be treated different? Because of their perceived expectations of white privilege?
The term is not to meant to be a reflection of our beliefs, but the differences in the consequences certain groups of people face when expressing those beliefs. I don't care what you're ideology is. I welcome your views, even if I disagree with them. But their is a double standard. Shannon Sharpe brought up the point that Tom Brady faced no backlash for his support of Trump, but could you imagine the backlash LeBron would face if he supported Louis Farrakhan?
That's terrible.
I would say that the NYPD hat triggered it more so than skin color. If you were white wearing a BLM hat or say a Knicks hat, then they probably would have left you alone. Replace yourself with a black family and that same group would have probably gotten verbally attacked with different words. Most likely Uncle Tom, sell out, house N*****, Coon. But you being white most likely did add an extra layer of aggression.
While they are wrong for their actions and words. The thoughts also should cross your mind, what has lead to this amount of resentment, pain and anger that is being unleashed?
I also would hope that this experience doesn't in turn push you to becoming extreme yourself. Hopefully you continue to treat everyone fairly.
SEATTLE CUT ITS POLICE BUDGET. NOW THE PUBLIC WILL DECIDE HOW TO SPEND THE MONEY.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nati...
Austin is buying a hotel to house the homeless. The money to run it is coming from the police budget
This is the real work trying to get accomplished. People can try to spin BLM and Antifa in however they want to fit for their agenda. But these type of actions are really what its about.

"White privilege" is associated with white people in US just because of the skin color.
It does not matter they are good or bad people, are they facilitated this all racist stuff mentioned above or speaking up or doing things against it.
It is giving same medicine to them which black people get because of racism.
If this all you want to accomplish then it is all good... Many of innocent white people now feel the same as black people used to fill.
So black people should know how this white people will react to this.

Didn't say your incident was the NYPD's fault. Said that the hat is probably what triggered them. People with anger inside are jumping into all movements from BLM, Antifa, Maga etc.. Just like people with anger inside or certain beliefs joining the police force. The main difference is that due to the job police are asked to do. They get more protection. For the good cops deservedly so. For the shitty cops, that's where things get sticky.

I would say that the NYPD hat triggered it more so than skin color. If you were white wearing a BLM hat or say a Knicks hat, then they probably would have left you alone. Replace yourself with a black family and that same group would have probably gotten verbally attacked with different words. Most likely Uncle Tom, sell out, house N*****, Coon. But you being white most likely did add an extra layer of aggression.
While they are wrong for their actions and words. The thoughts also should cross your mind, what has lead to this amount of resentment, pain and anger that is being unleashed?
I also would hope that this experience doesn't in turn push you to becoming extreme yourself. Hopefully you continue to treat everyone fairly.
Didn't say your incident was the NYPD's fault. Said that the hat is probably what triggered them. People with anger inside are jumping into all movements from BLM, Antifa, Maga etc.. Just like people with anger inside or certain beliefs joining the police force. The main difference is that due to the job police are asked to do. They get more protection. For the good cops deservedly so. For the shitty cops, that's where things get sticky.
In comparison, how do you think people of color or minorities (and let's also throw in women for good measure) in this country have been treated for, say, the last couple hundred of years?
And let's stretch the thought process: We still don't know your understanding of what White Privilege means and what you think others in this thread thinks it means. There is a lack of definition and connection. Help us and start there.

ACLED, a widely cited source for data on civilian casualties in Yemen, has been a non-partisan monitor of protests and violence in the Middle East, Asia, Europe and Latin America, and launched its US Crisis Monitor in July, citing concerns over hate crimes and rising political violence.ACLED found that the overwhelming majority of the more than 9.000 Black Lives Matter demonstrations that took place across the US after the killing of George Floyd have been peaceful. News reports at the height of demonstrations over Floyd’s killing cited dozens of deaths in connection with protests, but many of those turned out to be examples of deadly crimes carried out in the vicinity of protests, rather than directly related to the demonstrations themselves, the researchers concluded. ACLED’s dataset only focuses on political violence.

The privilege of this guy. Blaming everyone else when he attacked a joint session of congress. These people really believe they could go to washigton try to overthrow the government and just go on with their lives like nothing happened. How fd in the head do you have to be to believe that.
You hit it on the head. These people think the entire country only belongs to them. The one good thing I can say about the Trump era is it really brought the problem of white privilege to the forefront in this country.
That's not what the term is meant to convey. It's meant to convey the reality that peaceful protesters can get gassed while domestic terrorist blocks away get treated with kids gloves and cry when they start getting hit with similar consequences. These are the same consequences that the CHAZ protesters faced. Why should these terrorists be treated different? Because of their perceived expectations of white privilege?
The term is not to meant to be a reflection of our beliefs, but the differences in the consequences certain groups of people face when expressing those beliefs. I don't care what you're ideology is. I welcome your views, even if I disagree with them. But their is a double standard.

As some have touched on already. There are people who have been mistreated by police for years upon years just the same. Which is followed up by a flawed Justice System. If your family has actively held in check and called out bad cops throughout the years when they have seen so. Then I solute them. If not, then ignoring it has only helped create this resentment.
Movements like BLM and Antifa are also regular civilians with varied backgrounds and education. They aren't trained in protesting. Police are supposed to be highly trained individuals from out tax dollars in order to protect and serve.
The overall issue is the lack of accountability in place within policing. If a shitty cop does something shitty. The police force gets sued, which in the end when all said and done tax payers foot the bill. So a small % of shitty cops can do a large % of damage. And if there is no accountability for it then it hurts the whole organization. What people want to see it proper level of accountability. As well as things put in place to become more proactive than reactive. Increasing peoples quality of life will do more to reduce crime than having more police.
Police are also asked to do way to much, and are only called on to witness people at their worst.

You seem very stuck on that so let me firmly correct any misunderstanding. It's a tragedy that you, your wife would have to go through what you had to experience. Just terrible.
Now imagine if you experienced that just because of the color of your skin and experienced it on any given day for no reason and not because you showed up at the wrong time at the wrong place with a bunch of people who were acting like a mob instead of a protest. We both understand that your hat didn't help the situation and most definitely made it worse, right?
The internet and forums are a tough place to get exact sentiment across in words and phrases and you seem to be trying to hold me to account for not expressing them directly to you in a way that makes you feel good about it. I'll stop there.
I have no idea what you disagree with as you haven't really taken the time to explain yourself around the topic of white privilege. Maybe you can hold yourself to account and not keep on circling back to the experience you and your wife tragically went through.
lol words wasted
I just directly extended myself out to you and you took it as an ignore and went on to other posters and you expect what?
If you'd like to engage on White Privilege, I'm all for it but you haven't and that's definitely a problem in our greater parts. Calling it an offensive term is offensive in and of itself and clearly a lack of understanding on your part, I dare say it's up there with an All Live Matters take on BLM.
