White Privilege - An Example of It

[funk51]

Yeah, Hillary looked pretty cool after she lost the election.

     she got more votes but somehow she lost due to a corrupt system 

[Humble Narcissist]

No dumbass, the electoral college.  You should have learned about how and why it was implemented in 5th grade.

[funk51]

more white privilege.

   wow, name calling why am i not surprised. i merely pointed out the difference between the electoral college and winning  the popular vote and still lose decisively, and you take offense.

White privilege is a myth I can tell you from experience. 13 years old walking to my friends house. Cop pulls up tell me to get in the back of the cruiser , I ask what's going on he tells me to shut up. Drives like 5 minutes , pulls up in front of some house takes me out and asks the lady on the porch " Is this him? " shes like " No " he tells me I'm free to go , I had to walk back myself. Same age when my friends and I would go into a store we were followed around by security.

23-24 years old , car had a loud exhaust  I notice the cop behind me , drove normally knowing full well he's running my plates. I pull up in front of my house he turns the lights on. comes to the window and starts his spiel then out of NO WHERE pulls his gun and has it pointing at my head. Screaming to get out of the car I explained to him my drivers door doesn't open it's stuck and I'm going to get out the passengers side. Puts me in cuffs , meanwhile my then wife comes out asks what's going on he told her to shut the fuck up and get back in the house. He thought my sun glasses in between the seat was the barrel of a gun. " apologizes " all the while my young daughter was watching through the window.

29 years old , hydroplaned in the pouring rain and crashed my car. before cell phones walked to call a tow truck came back , State trooper was waiting for me , he's heated I left the seen of an accident. Asshole has me standing in the pouring rain while he's sitting in the cruiser , calls me over hands me a speeding ticket and a marked lanes violation. I asked him if he was crazy he got out the car threatening to kill me , " you don't ever call a trooper crazy "  I fought the tickets , won the marked lanes violation lost the speeding ticket , which was fucking estimated not even radar  later I called the State police barracks to complain about being threatened , Sargent says sarcastically " now why would he and go and do that? " I told him to get fucked and hung up on him.

30 years old , parked in front of my sisters house , hear sirens look out the window they're pulling some guy over behind my car, he's drunk before he has a chance to put the car in park they rip him out so his car hits mine lightly. I'm like hey WTF? They flip out , I'm parked in front of a drive way of my sisters neighbor which non one ever uses. These assholes write me a ticket for being parked in front of a drive way and threaten to tow my fucking car and arrest me!!!

Brought my brother-in-law to the autoparts store , the place had been closed for some time and he didn't know. So we pull in and turn around and immediately get pulled over. 2 cops , one comes to my window and the other to the passengers window. They take him out. Ask me if I have any warrants. I asked why I'm being pulled over , never answers , asks again if I have any warrants. I said none. Sarcastically asks you sure about that? I'm like positive. His response yeah we'll see won't we , I'm like we fucking will. Runs my info comes back clean says you can go 

When I first started dating my son's mother , picked her up at her house driving back in my Mustang. She's seating close to me state trooper pulls me over. MY response was I know it's not for speeding , never tell me why runs our info tells us we're free to go.

One of my old coworkers got into an argument with his wife , He was white , he grabbed a knife police showed up , they repeatedly told him to put the knife down , he refused , they shot and killed him. I could go on-and-on. This shit happens time-and-time-again , no one gives a shit when it happens to white people there is no recourse.

You may have posted this to show that white privilege is a myth, but really all I'm seeing is more evidence that the police departments in the US are totally out of control.

The police target minorities at disproportionate rates but white folks are certainly not immune to their abuses of power.

They target minorities (blacks) because they cause the most crimes.  Should they arrest whites and Asians for no reason just so they will be equal?

Right? lol

And what's even crazier is that blacks actually cause far more of the overall crime than what they are convicted for.  You can thank the "snitches get stitches" mentality of the black communities for this.

yeah a corrupt system that allows illegal invaders to vote for her

It only became corrupt after Hillary lost.

If Black lives Matter really cared about black lives they would do the best they could to influence the culture.

Much of it glorifies violence with little emphasis on education. Combine that with a unstable family unit and dependence on hand outs and trying to better yourself becomes a almost insurmountable task.

This is most obvious when Asians come here and due to their culture, become over represented and successful because of how they collectively excel

No dumbass, the electoral college.  You should have learned about how and why it was implemented in 5th grade.

The necessity and validity of the electoral college has been questioned from the onset. In 1824, Andrew Jackson won the electoral college vote, but not the Presidency due to the decision being in the hands of Congress as a result of the closeness of the vote. People have questioned the need for the electoral college ever since then. This was particularly true when Nixon won the Presidency. The election of 2016 is the most recent example of a candidate (Hilary Clinton), wining the popular vote, but not the electoral vote.

The Secret Service protection for Donald Trump Jr.'s trip in August 2019 to Mongolia, where he reportedly hunted a rare breed of sheep, cost taxpayers $76,859.36, according to documents published Wednesday by a Washington ethics watchdog.

The first set of Security Service documents obtained by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington through a Freedom of Information Act request put the cost of protection for President Donald Trump's eldest son's eight-day trip at about $17,000. CREW appealed that response to its request, saying it undercounted the actual cost.

A source close to Trump Jr. told USA TODAY that the president's son personally paid for "100%" of the trip, other than the protective detail.

In May, Secret Service Deputy Director Leonza Newsome informed CREW in a letter that its appeal was granted and that a new search uncovered "an additional document containing costs" regarding the trip. Newsome said an updated report on the expenses related to air travel was included.

People not happy with the results question the need for the electoral college.  If we went by the popular vote the way politicians ran campaigns would change radically as well.

Corrupt system? Why don’t you ask the slaves what they thought of a majority of people thinking they should be treated as property, or the Jews of Europe around 1940. Mob rule isn’t always the best way.

The Electoral College makes sense.

Unless you have no problems with the same handful of states permanently deciding the fate of the entire US.

Are you saying less is more and better? Tell that to anyone facing a court trial. Most folks will chose trial by jury rather that trial by one, (the judge).

Since when have voters been considered a mob?
