Anchorage police investigated over "white privilege card" photo
CBS News ^ | July 14, 2022

Posted on 07/18/2022 2:44:37 PM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

An investigation has been launched after a person believed to be an Anchorage, Alaska, police officer was shown in a photo with a woman in town for a Donald Trump rally flashing a novelty "white privilege card."

The social media post caused concerns about racial equality in Alaska's largest city.

Mimi Israelah claimed in a Facebook post that she was pulled over for weaving at 3:43 a.m. while driving to a pizzeria in Anchorage after arriving on an early-morning flight from California for Trump's rally Saturday to support local Republican candidates he's backed.

"Officer Bo" asked for her driver's license but she couldn't find it, she wrote on Facebook.

"When I saw my White Privilege card, I gave to him if it's ok," she wrote. "He laughed and called his partner. It's their first time to see a White Privileged (sic) card," she said.

The top of the novelty card reads: "White Privilege Card Trumps Everything."

Israelah in her Twitter biography describes herself as Pinay, or a woman of Filipino origin.

Gotta wonder if progressive leftists can’t take a joke because they are one.

I don’t get what the officers did to require an investigation. It was her picture, not theirs.

So the leftists can yell at me all day about my “white privilege”, but I can get in trouble with them if I actually get the card for it? Right. Are they angry about the white privilege or because I’m laughing at them about it?

It was not immediately clear if disciplinary action would be taken against officers involved or if a citation was actually issued to Israelah.

Disciplinary action for WHAT?

Exactly? Why is this news? Only because it ended up on a SM post.

I know a few officers that might have done the same thing,

You must admit expecting pizza place in Anchorage to be open at 3.23am is suspicious

LOL! Reminds me of those novelty license plates from 1965 which had a cartoon of a black pregnant woman on it and said..”I went all de way wif LBJ!”

In 1969, the same novelty plate was sold with the words...”Nixon’s de one!”
