White privilege





Rebecca J. Kavanagh
@DrRJKavanagh
White privilege is where the police escort you while you take college graduation photos with your AR-10 rifle, instead of killing you by shooting you 20 times in your own backyard because they claim they thought your cell phone was a gun. #StephonClark https://wapo.st/2wNatbB?tid=ss_tw-bottom&utm_term=.1d453eaa6d2c

Didn't know it would cause this much attention. PuhLEASE.

Honey they'd drone your ass (I'm assuming "come and take it" is in reference to the gun) from 2,000 miles away.

The article I read said that was in a 20 week time frame. Think about it, that is more than one school shooting a week. Only brain dead people think that this is alright.

Do these fools really believe that the second amendment is to protect citizens against the US government? Then why is it unconstitutional to participate in an armed rebellion against the US government?

Part of Article III section 3:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or....

How do these numdskulls explain "well regulated militia"?

A more intelligent, enlightened person would be aware of the fact that her actions would send a message that would wound and offend many and not intentionally provoke people. She's basically an asshole. That's the bottom line. She is nothing more than an asshole.

Look at cute, stupid and willfully ignorant me!! I especially hate it when women, who absolutely should know better, support this misogynistic, criminal, hate filled, ignorant, failing, criminal traitor. I hate it that so many of them are brainwashed by their so-called christian families that men matter more and should be followed without question and that women are 2nd class at best and can't be trusted or liked. I see it every day here in the south and it's sickening.

I wonder what she would have done on May 4, 1970?

Would she have opened fire on the National Guard to defend her fellow students from the slaughter, or would she have joined the killers and offed off a few more of her classmates as an act of patriotism?

like a piece of Swiss cheese by the time they were done with her. If only she had been there to offer herself up as the target instead of the four innocent victims, the outcome would have been much more favorable.

but saying she deserves death for that is a bit over the top, isn't it?

had a gun at the time and tried to fire on the Nat'l Guard. They would have fired back and she wouldn't stand a chance. It was a hypothetical scenario.

My point was that her gun is not going to protect her as much as she thinks it is. Yes, I think she is an attention seeking idiot and a jerk, but no, I don't think she deserves to die for it.

actually, I think another poster said that...You told us to imagine how much better things would have been if she'd been there "to offer herself up"...That said, I'm sure you didn't mean it..These are extremely
stressful times and I think we're all vulnerable to getting carried away

Any ordinary thug could grab her and disarm her. The gun display isn't about her personal safety and protection at all. Something else is going on there.

That seems like a little narrow reading of history. Sure, police have enforced the money interests of powerful white families in most of the US, but even abolitionist states had police.

or something similar, I would say she’s likely to have a lot of career problems. Even conservative employers are going to be hesitant to hire someone with this level of attention-seeking and clueless tendencies.
