If you don't believe in (recognize) white privilege why the fuck are you on a Democratic Forum?

205. WTF? HATRED?!! Where the hell is that coming from? And BTW, UNLESS there are

clear people on the planet, EVERYONE is colored in one way or another. NOONE is lambasting you for being white simply trying to get you to understand what life is like for people like me. NOONE assumes you're going to steal something when you walk into a store, following you as if there was a wanted poster with your face on EVERY wall but they assume that with me. How many times have you been out, parking near a river, WITH YOUR NEWLYWED HUSBAND, chatting and laughing, only to look up and come face to face with the business end of 5 COPS GUNS...probably more but I couldn't see beyond the bright lights that were blindingly bright? The cops assumed that I WAS A HOOKER, (WTF) and that my husband was conducting a "transaction" with me that also included drugs because he's white and I am a caramel brown woman. Luckily, we had our marriage licence still in the glove box...they backed down and mumbled something about problems with things of that nature in that area and to be careful in the future. Bet you've NEVER had that happen to you. Oh yeah, how many times have you been frisked and handcuffed OUTSIDE OF YOUR OWN HOME, WHILE GETTING OUT OF YOUR OWN CAR, after coming home from work? My brother has and he was almost finished with a DOUBLE degree in ASTROPHYSICS & THEORETICAL MATHEMATICS!
How many times was your father, husband, uncle, son or nephew ARRESTED for a bank robbery, because he matched the description of the perp? My father was & came to find out that the suspect was over a foot shorter, at least 20 shades LIGHTER, BALD and skinny with a distinct beer belly. He was kept in gaol for 36 hours...FOR NOTHING!! This is something that you would never in a million years accept because just being white acts like a shield. My husband is white, (BOHEMIAN CZECH) and he is OUTRAGED at how people who look like me are treated. Noone worthwhile hates you for your skin colour. It's something that was bestowed on you when you were born. 3 of my ggreatgrandparents were white. For me to hate you due to your skin colour is insane because I would by extension, hate my husband and MYSELF. White Privilege just means that your skin colour gives you a pass to be treated as just another human being & NOT a potential criminal, murderer, thief, prostitute, thug, gangster, lazy, welfare queen, drug dealer, etc. NOone assumes you plan to rob the place blind because you have brown skin. THAT'S ALL THAT MEANS...in a nutshell.
