Oped: When Ed Buck Goes on Trial, So Does White Privilege (Schiff's BFF)

**SNIP**

Ed Buck, a one-time celebrated and sought-after donor to the Democratic candidates and elected officials in California, faces nine felonies, including two counts of distribution of controlled substances resulting in death. Black death, to be exact. One count for the 2017 death of 26-year-old Gemmel Moore and one for the death of 55-year-old Timothy Dean in 2019.

Your garden variety middle-aged white gay man, Ed Buck, was privileged and entitled with the “complexion for protection.” A West Hollywood City Hall gadfly with a checkbook he wasn’t afraid to use, aside from giving the max allowed to political candidates, Buck’s claim to fame was championing a local ban on the sale of fur apparel.

**SNIP**

Buck has given more than half a million dollars to political candidates and causes, almost all of them linked to the Democratic Party. And those recipients–including Gov. Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, L.A. mayoral candidates Mike Feuer and Kevin de Leon, and councilmember Paul Koretz were all too eager to ignore Black death and look the other way. Some even continued to take money from him after the first Black death. Because, white privilege.

I can still remember news reporters telling me they couldn’t report the story of the death of Gemmel Moore or Timothy Dean because their network’s attorney advised them that Ed Buck could sue them.

Imagine that.

Let it be someone Black. We’re still sitting in the back of the squad car handcuffed at the scene, and our face, name, and alleged crime is already on the news. And even if it’s proven that we are innocent, they’re not going to report that. Why? Because we don’t have the privilege of having the media blatantly biased in our favor. White privilege. White privilege. White privilege.

Someone should tell Jasmyne about how democrats own blacks so, it’s not privilege, it’s their right.

Also, if she keeps up reporting like this, she may suddenly become acutely suicidal.

It’s not white privilege, it’s leftist privilege.

Is it “white” privilege or Big Money Donor privilege?
