Showing Original Post only (View all)"White privilege" does not mean white people should be treated with the same indecency as others. [View all]
It means we should likely be treating the other groups at the higher standard we generally see with whites. It seems too often that folks misconstrue this idea and advocate for mistreatment of folks simply because we don't like them, or because we know they had it easier than they would have if they were black. This thought process is not justice -it is vengeance. And if we truly aspire to achieve a fair system of justice then yes, we should call out the system when it is unjust -even if it is unjust to those we don't like (ie Parscale being tackled onto pavement completely unprovoked and inebriated).

His wife said "he has guns in the house." He was unprovoked, had no guns on him, and was calm.

Actual justice is blind. It doesn't know if somebody is a white supremacist.
