I hear hopelessness
I hear oppression
I hear pain
I hear internalized oppression
I hear despair
I hear anger
I hear poverty
You hear these things? Fine. So do I. And we (White America) SEE them as well. But Julia, do you hear and see WHY these things are evident? Do you see that Obama, Holder, Sharpton, the media and popular culture has lead you down the garden path to hopelessness, oppression, pain, internalized oppression, despair, anger and poverty?
Do you see the black culture is the reason why you hear these things? With illegitimacy, ignorance and racial hatred as your core values? With liberal democrats keeping you enslaved with welfare and entitlements that are paid for by White America?
If I am indeed "perpetuating white privilege and white supremacy"; then it is because no other culture has or ever will create the standard by which we all have flourished and benefitted. Julia, get back with me when black thuggery and a hip-hop pants on the ground mentality begins to work. Then we in White America will start to take you seriously.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
If black lives matter, why do so many of you kill one another and why are so many of you aborted?
A Few Lines Later...
In childhood: People regularly ask “What are you” instead of “Who are you?” This will not end, either. In high school, one kid even asks if you are “Mulatto,” which, according to some scholars, originally meant “little mule.”
A few years later: Go on a road trip with your mom. Refuse to get out of the car at a gas station in the boondocks, because you are sure the person with the Confederate flag bumper sticker is going to realize your white mother married a black man and hurt her (and you too, being the byproduct of said union). He’s carrying a rifle on a gun rack. Now even more terrifying.
Wow, talk about not letting race define you in your childhood.
Hey Julia ? Don’t call me “ Dear “ I ain’t yos mama.
One of the best responses to all of this even though it’s on a similar subject.

Funny...it’s ok to person of color....
Not OK to say colored person.
Go figure.
“please let me tell you what I hear:
I hear hopelessness
I hear oppression
I hear pain
I hear internalized oppression
I hear despair
I hear anger
I hear poverty”
All I’ve heard are a bunch of blacks having fun destroying other peoples property.
But then again I’m someone who learned the “angry black man” routine was a bunch of BS way back in the 1960s when it was used as an excuse to destroy other peoples property.
Yeah, yeah, racism, white privilege, poverty, blah, blah, blah. Guess what, Julia? Increasingly, we evil whites just don’t give a carp anymore. You’ve overplayed your hand. If we’re so to blame for everything, then just stay away from us and everyone will be happy, especially us.
I hear the same ole song I've been hearing since Rosa Parks: excuses, excuses, excuses. With a chorus of "Blame Whitey."
You want respect? Earn it. The same way everyone else does. Work. Save. Obey the law. Treat your families, your neighbors, and yes -- white people -- with the same dignity you demand for yourselves.
Then maybe you'll hear a different tune.
Dear blind with hatred Julia : BLACK PRIVIAGE; TO BLAME WHITEY AND OTHERS FOR YOUR OWN DAMN FAULTS.
TO BLAME WHITEY BECAUSE JAMAAL WANTED TO ROB THE NEIBORHOOD CVS FOR HIS DRUGGIE HABIT, but now they are calling for all Jamaals to be let go, free from prison.
TO BLAME WHITEY BECAUSE LAKISHA WANTED TO GO ON LADIES NIGHT OUT WITH THE GALS, MEETS DAWAYNE, GETS CHARMED BY HIS LIES AND GETS KNOCKED UP BY DAWAYNE AND WANTS THE STATE TO SUPPORT THE CHILD WITH THE 5 OTHER KIDS YOU HAVE BY MULITIBULE FATHERS.
TO BLAME WHITEY BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH YOU GOT AFIMIATIVE ACTION JOB HIRE, YOU FAILED TO CUT THE MUSTARD FOR MULITIBLE REASONS.
YOU PLAYED AROUND DURING COLLAGE, THOUGHT COLLAGE WAS THE NEW BUZZ WORD FOR SOCIAL CLUB, BUT YOU GOT A AFIMATIVE ACTION DEGREE ANYWAY.
YOU THOUGH WORK PLACE WAS THE NEW BUZZ WORD FOR BAR AND LOUNGE TO SOCIAIZE, USE YOUR CELL PHONE, BEAT THE TIME CLOCK AT WORK INSTEAD OF REAL WORK.
So after you read this go out and destroy other people’s stuff.
Dear Facebook poster,
You are an idiot.
Have a nice day. Hugz

IOW, I don't give a rat's hindquarters what you hear!
Quoted from the OP article:
“then you are perpetuating white privilege and white supremacy.”
******************
Baloney!
I’ve seen the very same kind of brutality happen by law enforcement to white people, and women, even! With my OWN two eyes!
AND on a false warrant even! The woman was hauled from the hospital by police, after a severe beating by her boyfriend (he was trying to kill her with a chain saw), who also had severe bronchitis and was on antibiotics for it, thrown into a filthy jail cell with nothing more on her body than a hospital gown, and then denied the antibiotics she needed for the bronchitis, denied medicines for her wounds.
The warrant was a false warrant from another state containing false charges, and never filed properly in the first place. She was cleared of those charges, but not before they held her for a full week in jail, sick and injured for a crime she never committed in the first place!
It took her family a week to bond her out and in the mean time, the bondsman evicted her from her home as a result of the beating she got, but he wouldn’t let her take her possessions. He was her landlord and bondsman. But when she took them anyway (she moved elsewhere in the city), he re-arrested her and threw her back into jail under the pretext that he thought she was a run-risk. The fact of the mater was, she had beautiful horses and he wanted those horses.
Again, she was released and she had police witness to the second false arrest. They agreed to be witness for her on her behalf if she should decide to sue the bondsman. But they had no authority to stop the bondsman from arresting her.
However, her life was threatened and she ended up fleeing the city after being found innocent...AGAIN, and released from jail as well as all charges.
I don’t know where this ‘’white’’ privilege charge comes from, but it has little or nothing to do with reality. And I’ve seen quite a lot of it..up close and personal.
It’s simply a power move on behalf of LEO, sanctioned by TPTB for the purpose of controlling the public. They make money doing it and until that source of revenue dries up, they will continue to do it.
Dysfunctional , illogical and dependent = black power?
Feelings do not give you the right to destroy or loot or commit physical acts that are wrong.
Note to Julia: Totally agree, black is beautiful and black lives matter.
But black “culture” is destructive, has rotten values, promotes a gangstah lifestyle, and inevitably leads to arrests and/or early, violent death.
Why don’t some of the beautiful black people who do matter — probably including you, Julia — go teach some cultural values other than gangstah in those schools? YOU have to do it, not white people, because black kids have been taught to hate whitey for so very long.
Dear Julia,
You built that.
Love,
FMDJ
Dear Black America, let me offer a different perspective from the other side of the tracks: That minority, the black vandals, have soured inter-racial relations for the rest of us for at least two generations.
I was nearly mugged by a black man two days ago in broad daylight on a public street in the Houston medical center. Perhaps he had been whipped up by all the hostility bubbling up in other places. The point is, I cannot really trust any young black stranger on the street unless he looks pretty damned respectable (like wearing a suit and tie, and yes, that is called profiling). Now, that’s a shame. I didn’t start the troubles, but that is the consequence of it. Some of my dearest friends are black, but they are not riff-raff.
So, Black Americans, do you understand why some White Americans just might not want anything to do with you? Check back in two generations.
Julia believes that the millions of dollars in damage to INNOCENT people in Baltimore, who did NOTHING, to deserve what they got, was justified? That WE need to RESPECT what black america is feeling right now? INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE!
Its time, more than ever, to reduce entitlement programs 70-90%
If Julia is all about respect then we should give her the respect she deserves?
