Why some whites are waking up to racism
Washington Post ^ | August 3, 2016 | Paul Schwartzman

Not long ago, Becky Deen Tai would never have imagined herself attending a civic meeting about police officers’ treatment of African Americans.

She’d grown up a white girl in a family with roots in the Deep South, and only recently had become “more aware of how unaware I am,” she said, later recalling her astonishment at learning via social media that black mothers often lecture their sons on how to avoid being targeted by law enforcement.

Yep. They have no clue that they are being played by one of the richest white men on the planet who would have owned many slaves back in the day.

“Why some whites are waking up to racism”, because the left controls the media.

When I saw the headline, my first reaction was “Because whites are increasingly subjected to racism every day.”

:: learning via social media that black mothers often lecture their sons on how to avoid being targeted by law enforcement ::

Really?
It isn’t just black-yoots, it is everyone.
It is ALL OVER THE INTERWEBZ.
Don’t answer police questions.
Simple 4AMD& 5AMD protection.
Tell them to do their job and gather evidence without your help.

This is a phony article by the Washington Post.

It is Democrat Party talking points and propaganda.

Until the black community purges the thug sub-culture from their community, they will continue to experience the many kinds violence and prejudice in their community.

“lecture their sons on how to avoid being targeted by law enforcement”

It’s always good to know your rights and what to say when you’re stopped no matter what race you are. If the local police become federalized (soon to be the case in major cities), they will be targeting whites, Christians, conservatives and vets. The federal Nazis already have databases on everyone and will start profiling and targeting their enemies. There will probably be “special” officers inserted into local departments and paid by the Feds to troll around on the highways and byways and harass and arrest enemies of the state.

Gullible idiots is right. Did you catch any of the coverage of the BLM protests at the conventions? The protesters were 90% white college age kids.

And they’re not ‘waking up’ to it. They’re having it pounded into their heads from their first day of public education.
