Perspective: There's no cost to white people who call 911 about black people. There should be.
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | May 16, 2018 | by Stacey Patton and Anthony Paul Farley, The Washington Post

Here are the things that black people can't do in the United States in 2018 without a white bystander calling the police on them: sit in a Starbucks coffee shop; eat at a Waffle House; work out at a gym; move into a new apartment at night; golf with friends; fly on a plane; barbecue at a park; shop for a prom outfit; buy a money order to pay the rent; check out of an Airbnb; or take a nap while studying at their Ivy League college campus.

When white callers dial 911 and report that black people are engaged in what they report as untoward behavior, the worst-case scenario is that the police will show up with guns blazing. Even in the best-case scenario, black folks will probably have to deal with the trauma of having been placed in mortal fear.

But most of the time, there is no consequence for the people who weaponize their fear and use the police as an extension of their whiteness. There should be.

It is naive to believe that white callers are not aware of their race privileges when they call the cops on "suspicious" black people. They are weaponizing their fears in a form of violence that buttresses a white-supremacist system. When white people see black people doing exactly the same sort of daily activities that they are doing, especially in spaces that they deem to be theirs, it frightens them so badly that they call 911.

At the deepest level, the callers and their enablers seem to feel black people do not belong, that we should not be allowed to be as free as whites.

This is their vision of America: calling 911, again and again and again, perpetually policing and controlling black bodies.

The comments on the article at sfgate.com are overwhelmingly sensible. Many people are getting tired of this BS.

My question is, how many white males are in her classes, and why don’t they stand up, give her the finger, and walk out?

OK, I confess. I am the one who has been calling 911 on the drunk black person who is sprawled out on the bench at the bus stop on the corner with a bottle of dilute spirits between his legs. I did it again on Sunday morning and I am pretty sure it was a different drunk black person this Sunday. But, then I have trouble telling them apart since they seem to shop at the same stores.

Heresy in today’s black identity. Off to the Spanish Inquisition with you!

RE: charged with sexual assault:

Fine. Stand up like American MEN and do it anyway.

Push back or get pushed over.

From the Beyoncé song “Sorry”
The white girl her man is messing with.

“Becky with the good hair” has come to mean any white girl you’re upset with. If you have black privilege.

I was kidding, I don’t think that would fly. I bet some feminazis think it though. Look at her funny and it’s rape with your eyes.

RE Kidding:

I wasn’t. Men that age stormed Iwo Jima.

At their age, my old man was a squad leader in an Airborne unit, and was wounded twice, once in Belgium and again in Germany.

That generation would NEVER have up with this bullsh*t.

We shouldn’t either.

Generations of feral animals with saggy pants and tattoos infect America. It takes some kind of Left wing sickness for the parents of a SJW female brutally murdered by these ferals to support them.

“Becky” is a racist term black people use to denote a young, white female.

Interesting...
