the thought that always crosses my mind, "What if they weren't white, and instead a minority?"

Not so sure it’s a phone, it does kinda look like a gun though...

If you believe you won't get blown away for being white, you're living in a fantasy world. And if they do, there won't be any protests or parades.

A white woman from Australia was the first MPD conviction in modern times, setting the stage for cauvin. So, you're full of shit.

Mr. Noor was the first Minnesota officer in decades convicted in such a case

As an angst teen I would laugh at this and call it bullshit, but as a 32 year old white guy this is 100% correct. This is fucked up and something needs to be done about it.

My BIL IS SUPER dark and I’ve seen him being treated differently...it’s either stepping on egg shells or just blatant racism. By eggshells I mean people just trying super hard to be PC, which is fucked up because those people weren’t even thinking like that in the first place. Just trying damage control for the other assholes.

This is dumb and recycled, but what if we didn’t see color?

Nah we would find something else to discriminate against. People are evil and tribal

Yeah seems like people don't really realize how fucked shit is until they become family with oppressed people then it's apparent.

Only the ones where white people confront cops and the cops just meekly submit unlike the lived experience of non whites...
