so i want to talk about some
salon dot com industry peace
talking about aids davis rhoda
uh... wrote a piece talking about how
should we start profiling white men
now i know republican heads across the country just exploding
but it's actually a very interesting question and it's a legitimate question
because all look at all of the mash units
the only one i could think of that was done by a black person
or just anybody who wasn't white
is uh... the d_c_ sniper
years and years and years ago
all in one sense
are done by white men
so think about this just the fact and pinch the rota said this pond
one of this sunday talk shows and the right wing flipped out even even some
moderate centrist and and and democrats about what you're talking about his
crazy
uh... he's an old man is not me
what's the reality in all of the man shootings who has been doing it so white
men
but i'm not making that awful not imagining it that's the reality of the
situation
look at the response the response people have a knee-jerk reaction to that really
say hell no
hello hello hello
profile white men were you crazy
but then i got me thinking
about about racism right and and does racism still existed and what forms as
it existed cetera
well first of all spoiler alert yes it does still exist
i know the republicans like to think that since we elected brock obama all
the sudden racism stone we're all good now guys
but the reality is that bob black people make eighty three cents to the white
persons dollar for the same work
this scene work
that's clearly racist but even putting that aside for a second there's this
great piece
written by abiding tim wise
and are
i think it's old brilliant i just want to share with you guys so you get a good
idea
the kind of racism that still exist because a lot of people really think it
doesn't exist anymore melissa medicine and what this
nanny for moving you make your own decision
for those who still can't grasp the concept of white privilege
or who were looking for something easy to understand examples of it
perhaps this list will help
white privilege
is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like bristol payment and
everyone is quick to insist bet your life and that your family is a personal
matter and then no one has the right to judge you or your parents because every
family has challenges
even as black and latino families
with similar challenges are regularly typified as irresponsible pathological
and or hers of social decay
why privileges when you can call yourself a *** redneck like personal
pain was boyfriend does
and talk about how if anyone messes with you
you'll kick they're *** *** and talk about how you like to shoot *** for fun
and still be viewed as a responsible all-american boy
and a great son-in-law to be
rather than a thug
why privileges when you can attend
four different colleges in six years like sap a landed
one of which you basically filled out of the return to after making up some
course work at a community college and no one questions your intelligence for
commitment to achievement we are as a person of color who did this
would be viewed as unfit for college and probably someone
who only got interpersonal east because of affirmative action
white privilege is when you can clean bed being there but alan smaller than
most a medium sized colleges
and then governor of the state
with about the same number of people as the lower fifth of manhattan island
nature ready
to potentially be president and people don't
all pass on themselves with laughter
while being a black u_s_ senator two-term senate two-term state senator
and constitutional law scholar
means you're untested
only say what he's saying is not disputable we all know that if brock
along with the one with the seventeen-year-old dole daughter who got
knocked up what would the right wing it's at all
technical
we all know
that it was brocco obama whose daughter was dating a guide to help on his face
book page on the book and phil gramm a *** gangsta
i resolved it on faith for the white house
will get them promoting social b k
but when i was sarah penguin and her family
starts a br as well as personal as personal matter
now even if you are the most hard-core conservative and you're listening to
this right now you have to concede that you know that is true there's a double
standard for white people in black people
you know beyond
any doubt
that if it was all black people who committed the missionaries like a white
men do
you would have a republican senators
being open about their racism saying now
it's a date so it's a
it's a culture gone astray n
these people are not traditional americans like the code words that that
uh... bill o'reilly speak soon
the point that i'm trying to get at
which is one that i don't
think is controversial at all
is that
this with the same kind of ferocity
that people had the backlash
to david schroeder
and he said walla walla already talking about when i can start profiling
white people
when that same ferocity people should be able
too
say the same thing whenever somebody
ustrust profiling black people
