Money quote:

When it comes to racial bias, you either participate in it actively or through silence, or you use your power and privilege to dismantle it.

So much for dissent is the highest form of patriotism. I remember how the Left mocked Bush the Younger for his you are either with us or against us rhetoric.

I have white, polite, middle-aged, sober woman privilege when the police pull me over.

They don’t expect trouble or danger from me. Am I supposed to act up to prove that women are as dangerous as men, that middle aged people are as wild as young?

I can do nothing to build up other people’s privilege, to change the expectations brought out by differing behavior patterns of different groups.

I could surely do my small part to dismantle white, middle-aged woman privilege by acting badly. Develop a local reputation, perhaps recruit friends to do the same.

Is that what they mean by dismantling privilege?

“...everyone, but, particularly white people, must address our insidious negative beliefs about Black people...”

I’m waiting for her lengthy diatribe about Jewish Privilege next.

This attitude reminds me of the above video - Trump should broadcast it once a week

“Black people are disproportionately harmed by policing and the legal system.”

BECAUSE THEY COMMIT MORE CRIMES!

HARMED? George Floyd KILLED HIMSELF! (by his lifelong criminal actions and behaviors)

Black people “harm” THEMSELVES by smokin weed, selling drugs, possessing stolen or unregistered firearms, fathering children with multiple “baby mamas” and abandoning them, chillin’ instead of workin’, demanding “respect” when there is nothing in their lives worthy of respect.

Of course not ALL Blacks, but guess who is painting you with THAT brush? OTHER BLACKS who do those things.

It is about time the rest of you “good people” STAND UP against these LOSERS, for your own RESPECT.

I’ve grown up in NH. My silence is due to the fact that we do not have a race problem up here because we really don’t have black people up here. I can’t speak for or feel guilt about what happens outside my territory, nor will I. They probably don’t want to hear what the white boy from NH has for a solution, nor should they. They know their problems, it’s up to them and their handlers to figure out the solution. I feel for the blacks being stuck where they are, the inner city is really just a glorified refugee camp. It’s a shame they have sat on the sidelines for decades. I am afraid it might be too late.
