The mere fact that the Jan 6 folks were not shot and killed is white privilege in of itself. Jan 6 was the epitome of attacking police.
Justice for Jussie!

Just stop. One of my oldest friends for 30 years is Black and we talk about racial issues all the time. My neighbors on either side of me and across the street from me are all Black. I've been in their houses and they've been in mine, so I don't fit your stereotype of the White guy, who's never talked to any Black people.
You've just chosen to dwell on all the oppression and you'll never get past it, if that's all you see. Great strides have been made, despite the Dems constantly beating the Systemic Racism drum. They want you to keep feeling oppressed, so you'll see them as your only salvation. That's how they keep you on the Dem plantation voting for them forever and wondering why things don't change any faster. You're being manipulated and, sadly, you don't realize it. WAKE UP!
Yet the only one shot and killed was a White woman, despite there being Black people demonstrating, too.
You're biases are clouding what you see as reality. You're seeing what you want to see and filtering out everything else.
An unarmed white woman was killed on Jan 6th by police. But that doesn't fit your narrative, does it?
This coming from a black man who's said, that in his 50+ years, he's never personally experienced racism.
(he just goes by what they say on Urban talk radio and the boys at the barber shop tell him).
According to the logic bonefish1 and others when comes to unarmed blacks and police is that since she was breaking the law at the time, she deserved to be shot, right?
Just to clarify, I have not experienced racism that held me back from any jobs or schools. I don't live in a bubble. Just because it hasn't happen to me doesn't me it doesn't happen to anyone else. Not sure why you don't understand that.

Interesting that it was a Black cop that shot her and at the time he shot her, she was no threat to him. Nothing happened to him for shooting an unarmed woman. Is that Black privilege?
Perhaps it was your attitude that held you back and not your Blackness? Millions of Black people are being hired every year, so you can't blame that on discrimiation.
I just corrected my statement. I have not experienced racism that held me back. I left out not.
No unarmed person deserves to be shot unless they're posing a threat to you or others. But you're narrative that blacks are the only unarmed people shot is ridiculous...

Lol, like you would know whitey. You really aren't this stupid are you? That was rhetorical by the way.
Got the data to support your claim? Of course you don't...
Never said that. What I've said, is that if you put the police in a position where they have to decide to use deadly force, then that's the perps fault.
Don't forget, 2 times as many unarmed white people are killed by the cops than unarmed black people. I know it's a statistic you say you don't believe, but that doesn't change the fact that it's true.
I don't understand it because 90% of what people claim to be racism isn't.
There are no laws, rules or anything else that singles out people by race (unless you're talking about affirmative action or IDE hiring quotas, which are also racist).
that's factually, unequivocally, 100% incorrect. It's actually mostly whites.
Since unarmed Ashlie Babbitt was killed by a black policeman with no consequences, what would that be?
Since Jessie Smollett was released from jail after just 6 days, what would that be?
Since many blacks burned and looted many businesses in cities around America for the past 2 years without consequences, what would that be?
Do you think for one second, if that had been a White cop and he had shot an unarmed Black woman that there would have been no repercussions? He'd have been fired immediately and probably charged with Manslaughter, at least.
The Black cop still has his job and is facing no consequences. Sounds pretty privileged to me.
No, Jordan and LeBron and other rich black athletes are not privileged. Black athletes throughout the years have been profiled by the cops when driving their nice rides to and from their homes in the upscale neighborhoods. Again, being rich has nothing to do with privilege.
The chick was climbing through the window. He would have been in his right to shoot them all.
You clearly do not understand that the Jim Crow era was over 57 years ago. Racism nowadays is more subtle and abstract.
I find it funny that you discount every racism claim that I presented in this forum. But you are quick to identify affirmative action as racism because to you it disenfranchises white people. You are trying to have it both ways.
So an armed cop should feel like his life is in jeopardy, from an unarmed 5'2" woman, who weighs about 120 lbs. There were a lot of ways he could have handled that, without killing her.
Amazing how race affects your perspective. In the riots in Minneapolis & Portland, if a White cop had shot any of the Black rioters, you'd have been screaming RACISM.
But in DC, you're perfectly fine with a Black cop "shooting them all."
You really need to start looking beyond the color of skin and start realizing that these are ALL PEOPLE.
Once the she broke the window and climbing through, the mob she was with would have been right behind and overwhelm the police like they did all over the Capitol.
Some blacks have biases, and prejudices like anyone else. However, for true racism where racism is mostly power, blacks as other race or other ethnic groups in the US aren't in positions to discriminate when it comes to the judicial system, housing, education, banking loans etc.

Mostly you playing a fool, if anything it has changed our views for the worse. You may not realize it but your buffoonery does not enhance anything you have to say.
Because of the people that sacrificed there lives like MLK, Medger Evers, Emmitt Till, Rosa Parks to name a few made it easier for my generation to succeed. Still ways to go but we came a long way.
When you consider sports, business hiring practices, television and entertainment, politics, judicial system, and other things, blacks have come full circle. Not sure about more ways to go as you mentioned.
You're painting with such a broad brush. And a brush that in many cases is painting with water.
From a white person's perspective it may seem that way. Yes, we came along way but there is still work to do when it comes to policing, justice system, there is still housing and loan discrimination. The voter suppression laws in several states now has set back voting 55 years.
So you won't be happy, until Blacks have full control of everything, so they can oppress people, who don't look like them? You don't want to be even, you want to get even for perceived wrongs of the past.
When are blacks going to get things like crime, single motherhood and murder under control? Not of those have anything to do with white people yet they devastate the black community.
