In all fairness, Americans glorify gratuitous violence regardless of race. Most of our movies are about violence.
Hell, The Green Berets holds a "G" rating and shows a guy get dragged against a wall of spikes. Show one boob though, instant "R"
Exactly.
frogger44
Also, say one swear word (like "fuck" for example) and it's PG-13. Weird.
You're allowed to say "fuck" once in a PG-13 film. Anymore than once and it's an instant R
Well, the more you know.

Darren Wilson. Zimmerman was arrested but was still found not guilty.
Ah, the police officer! Thanks, although I genuinely was more curious about civilian-civilian homicides. But I guess that's more widespread.

You're using a cop who was apprehending a robber and defending himself from being assaulted as your example of white privilege? Wow.

Depends on what you mean by "murder". I'm fine with killing people in certain circumstances, such as self-defense & euthanasia.
CorvusBelli
Murder, noun; the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.
Then that's not murder. Murder is the unlawful premeditated killing of another human being.
Yes, I know, but some people say "murder" when they really mean "kill". My apologies, I ought to have been more clear as to why I said that.
TheHungryBanana
I'm OK with murder. It is natural.
afdasfdasfdas
If everybody only gave a fuck about themselves, which you would if you were being murdered, you'd already be dead.
Rape, cannibalism, starvation and incest are also natural; being natural isn't a good criteria for what's OK or not.
Atimetraveler
That's not the message, it's saying that people don't give two shits about black on black violence but if it's white on black then huge riot
Pjnla
But that is simply not true. I wonder how much time has OP spent in the black community discussing this.
As a black man I can safely say people don't care nearly as much about black on black.
As a black man and an educator I do. I don't know any sensible black person that would actually say and believe that.
It's not so much that they don't care it's just not brought up as much.
Are you referring to the riots that occured because of government employees killing unarmed black people? Two totally different things.
Tikityler
The difference is everytime it is reported it is not police shoot unarmed perp. It is White officer shoots Black teen.
ursela
Only unarmed because they failed to steal the officers gun. ALL lives matter!!!
madetheaccountjustforyou
Unless it's by the military, then "support the troops!"
KyleBurth
Yeah, because everyone knows that every casualty in acts of conflict are innocent bystanders, and never justified. Show a little respect.
Respect for what? Invading someone else's home and acting like it's self defense when you kill them for shooting at you?
Did you ever serve in the armed forces? What actual proof do you have that says all the military does is break into homes and murder 1/2

Yes. Poor white people have much fewer social obstacles to navigate than poor black people to achieve the same ends.
DMGuy
If you think being told that is racist, you really don't understand what privilege is.
An assumption that a group of people have certain advantages over others based on their race. How is it not racist?
Because you are automatically treated different based on the color of your skin, and in our society that is almost invariably in your favor.
(2) advantage, doesn't mean you're going to win the race, or that you don't have other disadvantages.
