Bull shit

Again, I’m thinking a lot of POC would disagree with you. The Libertarian in you is really shining through here. It all sounds great in theory, but in practice it’s bullshit. Yes, in a perfect society escaping racism would be a right. Unfortunately, it’s still very prevalent.

No. You’re talking pure theory here. Pointless.

Fact. Words mean things. If you say due process wrt denial of life, liberty, and property is a privilege afforded to white people, not a right; that has implications.

Your points all sound great in a classroom of upper learning. But then you take an African American studies class and see how society actually works.

Again, everything you say sounds great in theory. Real life isn’t theoretical. It’s a privilege to escape racism in a world filled with racism. But yes, theoretically escaping racism SHOULD BE a right. It’s a right denied to millions if not billions.

I am sure a lot of people disagree with me. Some on the right think there is no racism because they brake for blacks.

A lot of POC probably have the same fundamental misunderstanding of what white privilege is supposed to mean. I think it’s been overused on purpose until the wrong meaning stuck.

Exactly the response I’d expect from an oblivious white guy. At least Ray is trying to verbalize his thoughts.

Yes, what Ray says sounds great in theory. It should be a right to escape racism. Unfortunately it’s a right that’s denied to many on a daily basis.

Because Ray has said multiple times exactly what I would have said, and I quoted him several times to say so.

Again, it’s libertarian unicorns and rainbows shit. Racism is deeply embedded into our society. Many suffer it every day with little to no recourse.

The fact that you and I don’t have to navigate those waters is indeed a privilege.

The hordes of people of color flooding the justice system will be relieved to know that escaping racism is a right, and not a privilege.

Do you have a reading comprehension problem? I repeatedly agreed there s systemic racism /  racial profiling problem.

I don't think it is caused by white privilege. Profiling white people will not fix the problem.

Do you think ending "white privilege" will fix Racial Profiling?
