White Privilege

If someone had a gun at night I would want to be able to shoot to protect myself, are police officers supposed to wait until they get shot before they can react?

Did I say just Africa? Ankara, Beirut, and Mombasa are all considered to be major cities in their respective countries. They have all been targeted. Looks like someone is not very well informed geographically.

So shoot a child to kill him when there was no proof that he had an actual gun? They were going by details given to them by a caller to which the operator responded (about the boy) "is he White or Black"?

Don't you see the hypocrisy? Some policemen see a black person with a gun, and think "sh*t, he's gonna shoot us" - and some innocent black people get killed. You see a policeman and think "he's gonna murder some black people, because that's how they like to spend their time"

lol whatever.

??? I have no idea what point you are trying to convey.
White privilege does exist- You have police shooting unarmed young black men for no reason which clearly shows that white privilege is a thing

Are police men doing their job when they are shooting unarmed black men?

There have been more acts of terrorism committed in 1 year in Ankara and Beirut than in Paris in 123 years. Mombasa is not in any way a major country, do not lie or delude yourself just to pass a point across.

Is that all you have to say?

There was proof he had a gun the caller had seen it.

Yes let's not ask a question that can reduce the amount of suspects, we should stop giving descriptions of suspects as it is wrong for the police to look for a black boy when it is a black boy involved in the incident.

Paris terrorist attacks in the past year and a half = 2

Ankara terrorist attacks in the past year and a half = 2

Beirut terrorist attacks in the past year and a half = 1

These are generally peaceful and vibrant cities. Your ignorance does not turn them into hotbeds of terrorism. And just because you have not heard of Mombasa does not mean it isn't considered to be a major city in Kenya. You have already proven yourself to be very uneducated.

You're making it out as if the people they are shooting at aren't crime committing thugs.

Is that all you have to say?

Discuss below:

I personally believe it does.
You are entitled to your opinion and please do not get too into the discussion, thank you.

The caller could have been anyone. Is it really that easy to get a kid shot by the police in America? Are you in your right mind to say that shooting a child to kill is justified based on a phone call?

These justifications just prove what the OP has been trying to say.

You mean like in Baltimore, where a black police chief, a black mayor, a predominantly black city council and a predominantly black police force caused the locals to have a huge amount of rioting over the racist mostly-black police?


I don't mean that in a rude way, but merely to stop and think that there may be more than simple 'White privilege' at play that causes that.

Poverty in the modern world perpetuates poverty. That is a simple truism - Poor white boys in Britain have less than a 1/10 chance of going on to further education, as an example, and on a per capita basis, white males have less chance of getting in to Cambridge or Oxford.

Black communities tend to congregate, and tend to be poor - This tends to ghettoization, generational poverty and increased crime. This isn't unique to the black community - Look at Irish communities in the 1930s or refugee communities in Europe now.

If you are passionate about the plight of the black community - And I think you are - Look more at the causation of generational poverty and come up with a solution for it. That will help everyone - Black, white, native or any other race.

Or you can continue to blame 'White Privilege', which will not resolve the issue. You will continue to have generational poverty which will continue to cause unrest(And has in almost every large community that had self-segregation and generational poverty in history), will continue to cause civil unrest and will continue to on to your children and your children's children.

The choice is ultimately yours - Do the collective you want to change the situation or simply want to be excused for an ultimately impotent rage?

You are absolutely ****ing disgusting and probably a racist.

So when a policeman shot a 12 year old playing with a toy gun was the 12 year old a committing thug you ignorant ****ing ****?

I will not peruse a conversation with you any longer as your ignorance aggravates me.

LOL, you are such an utter moron.

I said terrorists attacks in 1 year. I didn't say THIS YEAR.


When you have time, go and research the amount of terrorist attacks that took place in Beirut and Ankara in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006, when the war on terror was in full force.


And yes I've heard of Mombasa, and no it's not even remotely a major country.


You can't hold a candle to my education.
