Why White Americans Don’t Believe in ‘Personal Accountability’ For Police

[sheshe2]

6. We are post racial now, don't ya know, Mr. Scorpio.

The Supremes told us so.

Why don’t white Americans who fulminate about both high taxes and “personal accountability” demand the removal of cops whose conduct has become expensive and disgraceful?

The answer, of course, is that the dogma of personal accountability was never an honest critique, but a ploy to serve conservative racial and political goals. It targets poor black people, who don’t produce votes for the GOP but can be used as fodder for its race-baiting electoral strategy. It targets teachers and their unions, who represent the last remaining barrier between the billions spent on public education nationwide and the corporate shysters trying to get at that money through privatization.

Thank you for this thread, Mr. Scorpio.
