Black Skin Privilege and Ferguson

I will never look suspicious to you. Even if I have a black hoodie, a pair of jeans and white sneakers on … I will never watch a taxicab pass me by to pick someone else up. I will never witness someone clutch their purse tightly against their body as they walk by me. I won’t have to worry about a police car following me for two miles, so they can ‘run my plates. I will never have to pay before I eat. And I certainly will never get ‘stopped and frisked.’ I will never look suspicious to you, because of one thing and one thing only. The color of my skin. I am white….[1]

This is SO stupid...and wrong. If you look like a skin head...hoodie or not...you look pretty damn scary.

The taxi cab thing...so, if you are a black cab driver, you only pick up whites? What’s the racial mix of white, black brown cab drivers? Was there any thought put into this stupid statement at all?

Stopped and frisked? I’ve been stopped. Presume I wasn’t frisked because I said “yes sir/no sir” whatever to keep the cop off my back. And again...are all cops white? geeze. Liberals are SO FREAKIN’ stupid.
