LOL damn it! Mob. The mob with a bunch of young white girls and a bunch of large black men standing behind them daring you to deny you are a white supremacist.

Have I never been arrested because of white privilege?

So is Asian privilege a thing, too? I don't see many of them being the victim of police brutality.

Because they've never caught you breaking the law.

I love topics that bring out the concern trolls, and judgemental reeturners. They are so obvious to spot, even before I post-dive them for that sweet sweet confirmation bias.

That's xenophobia not racism. Italian isn't a race it's a nationality.

Same thing to me, having prejudices on someone for some stupid reason, being the color of your skin or the location where your mother expelled you doesn't change the result, i was discriminated and treated in a different way for a made up reason based on stereotypical stuff.

I've been arrested many times because I'm mixed raced. In a 99.9% white town any incident I looked suspicious. Still happens at airports even if I got all the Nexus cards, papers etc.. I've been handcuffed so many times because of that while no crime ever comitted. The crime is just to look suspicious!

You've broken the law. We all have. The chances of you getting caught can probably be quantified.

I've been a gringo Mexican resident for 4-years now. You can practically flip a cop the bird out here or pay petty money to get out of a ticket; ethnic Mexicans here do the same...I don't see any difference/privilege. I lived in Illinois 28-years and had many friends of different races...none of us had a criminal record aside from minor traffic violations. IMO (and likely for many others) this all boils down to politics in humanities (a.k.a...B.S.)

I'm very visibly latino and lived in a few different countries and visited multiple others. Am I proviledged? Or is it because I don't steal shit, scam people or do sketchy shit and get in trouble with police? The whole blm thing is ridiculous, it's an economic issue, not a racial one and it always will be.

I nut tapped my brother in law (an LEO) once while “sparring” and he handcuffed me to his railing for 30 minutes...my white privilege disappeared in that moment.

Here's a tip for you guys...
My dad is drunk very often and has driven drunk very often (I've tried to make him stop, but it's useless at this point).
He's a Jewish man that looks middle eastern.
One time, him and his friend were stopped at a point where cops were checking a bunch of people for alcohol level.
My dad was drunk, but he told the cops "I'm Muslim, we don't drink alcohol"
They didn't bother testing him and let him go.
Use that as you may

My brother and a friend of mine after the end of the soccer match went in front of the riot police officers. My bro did nothing but the other guy constantly provoked them. They had orders to stand still. My friend told me he could see contortions on the policeman's face because of the anger and the insults.
Suddenly a voice is heard: "charge!". And the riot police start to run towards them and the fans that were there. My bro and my friend run like madmen, entered the entrance of some buildings and became olympic jumpers , jumping over a big wall. They could hear the shouts and the swearing of the riot police that hunted them, but their equipment was too heavy to keep on.
They found some other guys and hid together for a while in the yard of a building. Had they not jumped that wall, which would be impossible without the pumped adrenaline, they'd be arrested and received the beating of their life.

Nice Ad Hominem. Go learn whom the phrase the special one refers to and then try again.
This is even better. A generous mix of false equivalency, hasty genralizations with a hint of begging the claim.
The thread in its creation is an either/or logical fallacy. Then again, one doesn't come to Gaf for rational discussions. Such things no longer exist on this site.

Its basically 100% impossible that you've never broken any law in the US. Either intentionally or unintentionally.

He's also 6 ft tall so im sure height plays a role in it to, but no doubt in my mind race was a factor with every encounter.

But it isn't a false equivalence, I thought only white people need to check their privilege, I am a Latino man, I am a victim as well, am I not? Or do I have to look up where in the totem of oppression I am at?
It's a relatively simple issue, really. The US has a lot of guns, a lot of black people are impoverished, crime arises in those areas and with the amount of guns that easily reach those groups, the police interacts a lot with that group. With the amount of guns that exist in the US, violent interactions will inevitably happen.
Should police brutality be addressed? For sure, yes, absolutely. Should black people be less stand offish? Maybe, that'd help as well. Are police out there hunting black people? No.
As much as this is an asshole thing to say, a person dead every year in a country of more than 300 million doesn't mean that black people are being hunted, it's just the unfortunate consequence of having a lot of criminals in a certain part of the population, which happens to be black.
But no, let me walk down the streets, cry, scream and burn a few cars while I do that.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
I have been arrested 1 time, and the cops had no reason. It didn’t escalate because I kept my cool and was respectful always. I was also 16 at the time. I am brown and shave my head.
I cannot say that the cops were racist, but they clearly were hoping they got lucky with me. I remember the cops tried to get me to say I lived in Compton (we were in another part of LA), and after 15 minutes of interrogation in the back of their car, they let me go after they found a book with church contacts in my backpack. I was dating a Mormon girl at the time and friends I met there had given me the book. One of the cops told the other cop to let me go after they found the book. Maybe he was a Mormon? I don’t know.

Nice counter argument. Sorry we use common sense here. 9/10 times treat a officer with respect and he will do the same. Doesn't matter what skin color you are, you give a cop attitude you will piss him off. It's a damn shame people have forgotten to treat cops with respect. Also, Im white and a white cop gave me a ticket for "texting while driving" when I was just changing my songs in the car. Still didn't argue with the cop and went about my business.

Bar/restaurant alcohol inventory. A lot of times if we dont get to an alarm quick enough the alarm sets off and the police are automatically notified.
I was just sharing my anecdotal experiences. But according to stop and frisk data in NY the majority of people that were stopped were black and latino. https://www.nyclu.org/en/stop-and-frisk-data

The thing i really like about this post is that you manage to make an argument using statistics that don't exist can't be proven. You then mix it with your opinion and then attempt to pass it off as a fact. It's silky smooth and I can see why it would work with the people in this thread.
The thing I really like about this post is the classic "if its true for me, then its true for everyone". Toss in some more hasty generalization and post hoc ergo proper hoc and you've got yourself a wonderful concoction of logical fallacies.
Not at all. On a side note, the idea of democracy only works when the population is educated enough to make sound decisions that are in their best interests. Unfortunately, the current state if the country is one where a majority of the population are under educated due to the inherent financial barriers to education. The USA in its current state is nothing more than a banana republic similar to those found in South America and Africa. The vast majority of the population is getting squeezed economically and unfortunately, they continually make political decisions that further exacerbate the problem. Truly sad.
On topic, I have no interest in changing it because I dont care about the county. Its not my problem.
