But do you see this **** though?i dont think it was the video the set some off i think it was the sentence leading into the video
you've always seemed like a good dude to me
that sentence was ill advised tho
I'm not even white, I'm hispanic. Dad is full Mexican, I grew up in a 99% white town and experienced racism myself... But dudes make assumptions about who's talking and now I'm "extremely selfish and narcissistic".
Tell me again how I don't know about racism growing up as the only brown kid in my entire graduating class in a hick town in upstate NY.
Tired of it man. Srs.
He didn't say you were racist, he just said that it is insulting to try to deflect on hundred's of years of mistreatment from authorities with "well it isn't only...
Specially when you don't have the privilege to experience it first hand.... It just doesn't come out right
yep. "black people aren't the only ones being oppressed" is very similar in nature to "some of my best friends are black" - it comes from the same place. as if this balances it all out. the endgame to invoke that into the dialoggue is the samePeople of color are tied of having their experiences and the hands of an injustice system marginalized by other groups claiming, "Hey, it happens to us too!"
I only said that because this is a cops vs black people centric thread. Civil Forfeiture is equally as ****** up if it happens to a black or a white person or anyone else.
You don't hear too much about cops just snatching a wad of bills off someone and keeping it for *insert whatever reason they want* on a big scale. JO exposing it though.
You don't need to get upset that I said it doesn't only happen to black people.That was merely an "oh by the way - cops do this **** all the time and its still absurd" transition into the video I posted.
Arguments of the like are extremely narcissistic and selfish.
As if an issue is only valid when and if it happens to white or white adjacent groups...
lol @ any white person in this thread upset because they feel left out, oppressed or "put under a microscope"
it's not about you
