Are you under the impression that Black police officers cannot be racist? I am not.

You weren't referring to black police officers, quit trying to backtrack. You are guilty of racisim here, just like I said.

I have seen a LOT of what white priviledge buys you in the modern day. You can say that the racism that exists today is nothing compared to yesterday, but it's a damned long way from the daily comforts our society affords white people like myself.

This is another racist statement. You are assuming that you have a better standard of living simply because you are white.

That was an adorable attempt, but no, that has nothing at all to do with what I've said. Why don't you try to leave some of this phony emotional bullshit alone, and address the argument with logic and/or fact.

Don't bother wasting your breath on this guy. He's hopeless.

That's very silly. Having talked with a few Black men over the age of 75, who I think we'll agree have seen their fair share of suffering, and they are very concerned about the obstacles still facing young Black men today.

Further, where is your measurement? You could just as easily have said the same thing about civil rights leaders of the 50's & 60's. Sure, they were fighting against detestable, intolerable institutionalized and mainstreamed racism, but it's not like they suffered the same way that slaves did.

Is there something inherently wrong with desiring progress? In looking at the wrongs that exist and wanting change?

Btw, I don't know if you're being literal with the "you", but I'm a white woman. I've lived in predominately White areas (as in, a suburb with literally only 2 black people) and in predominately Black areas (as in, I was the only white person in the neighborhood), and in the most diverse neighborhood in my state (one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the country). I have seen a LOT of what white priviledge buys you in the modern day. You can say that the racism that exists today is nothing compared to yesterday, but it's a damned long way from the daily comforts our society affords white people like myself.

Of course you are guilty of racism. This is the second time you have referred to police officers as if they were all white. You never say, "white police officers".

Apparently you see yourself as a savior for poor, downtrodden blacks who can't make it through the white man's society without the help of "nice" white folks like you. Thanks, but no thanks.

I am in fact a bleeding heart liberal, by just about anyone but a liberal's definition.

I am most certainly not guilty of any racism in my perception of the advantages afforded Black people.

I have far too often played the role of the "white friend" -- who talks to the police, who hails the cabs, who goes on the witness stand during civil suits, who interacts with white people when those white people are too racist to afford basic civil rights to my friends and loved ones. Keeping with the theme of police, in every situation where I have seen police officers, they have walked directly past the Black women, directly past the Black men, and to me to ask what really happened. This is not reflective of class or financial status. They see me, they see I'm a White face in a Black crowd, and they by default afford me authority over the situation. This is not a status quo worth defending.

Don't know why this post made me think of this...

You think I live in Chicago, and I think of police officers as never being Black?

I'm not trying to backtrack. I draw no line between white police officers and black ones when it comes to their racist treatment of Black men. Why should I? They don't.

No I am not. Is your reading comprehension impaired? I am stating that white privilege exists, and that I get entitlements I have never earned because I am white. Lots of people of all races have a standard of living greater than my own because they earned it, because they were luckier, because what family they were born into. That does nothing to invalidate my statement. My point still stands.
