Sorry. If you would've included my entire post I would've known it was from me jeez.  I thought it was from one of those people who said they don't believe in white privilege and you misquoted  and How am I hopping to one belief to another? I've always said that privilege exists? I've said it didn't apply here? If you were confused about the context of what I said when I said, "I'm not denying that white privilege is a thing", I wasn't saying that IT DIDN'T EXIST. I was saying it exists but DID NOT apply here and was used loosely.

That's the exact opposite of what was said in the post tho. Would you like to read it again?

It's exactly what I said?  You're the one who's not understanding what I meant. Like at all.

I agree. It's obvious too many people on here are children and just don't have real-world experience with racism. I went to college in Jackson, MS and got pulled over because a white woman slammed on her brakes in front of me and I swiftly changed lanes to avoid rear-ending her, yet I was pulled over when I avoided an accident. I brought up that point to the police and he blatantly told me that he was gonna pull me over regardless because I'm black. I got out of that **** hole with SWIFTNESS the next semester and transferred to a university back home. Racism is VERY real in the US. These children on here deny it but as a GROWN BLACK MAN, I can say that I've been profiled, harassed, etc. Overheard a woman at JCPenney once saying to security guards to follow me around because I might steal something (I'm glad their sales are flopping). The thing about it is that I graduated high school with a 4.02 (the top male in my class), have a college degree in business, and am a contributing member of society. I guarantee that if I was white I would have experienced NONE of these things. These children on here can have a SEAT because they'll never know.

So, with THAT I'm getting off my phone and getting on my laptop because of these is/isn't errors.
But you've should've known that I made a mistake, but my fault for the misunderstanding.
But, as I was stating before my is/isn't errors started taking over. White privilege DOES exists and is real and I was telling them that. I wasn't saying that white privilege is happening in this scenario, but it's a thing all together.

Serious question: Do you think this would have happened had his skin been white? Given the statistics already mentioned in this thread. I want you to really think hard about this question and take your time. Use "is" when you mean is, and use "isn't" when you mean isn't, thank you.

And now that I'm on my laptop, that'll be easy, lol.
But it could happen to a white male. I understand that this particular person was targeted by these particular police for his skin colour, but I honestly do not doubt that this could happen to a white male. It DOES happen more to black people due to racism. Being white doesn't prevent this from happening to you. Especially if you're in a different location.

You guys are wasting your time, closed ears and minds are not receptive to new information.

So you believe that white people are too targeted by the police on the basis of their race?

White males are not targeted for being white they are only targeted if they commit a crime. Especially in NYC.

Didn't I say that happens here a few page back? It happens A LOT. Especially with how some of the white people here carry themselves and the things that they do here. Police look for them here more because of the activity. Especially with their being a meth lab being run behind a public school. If it happens here, it can happen. Just because I'm black, I'm not going to say it doesn't happen to whites and it only happens to blacks because , that's not the case here. And if it happens here it can happen anywhere.

llkmaskakla. Why don't you understand that isolated incidents don't affect what is apparent in the grand scheme of things. FBI collect data on crime/pre-crime activity every year, and discrimination against whites never reflects through their statistics. But I mean, if it happens in breaking bad, it must be true.

I do get it? And i acknowleged that. I'm just telling you that what happens here can happen anywhere..I do get it, you just don't get it..
Or if it happens in real life, it must be true.

How is the discovery of a meth lab proof of racial profiling of white people? As I said before, if white people are the majority, they should be getting the majority of grief from the cops, not minorities. That's fair, that's logical. That's not racism against white people. You simply don't understand what white privilege is. Unless you can provide me with statistics that show white people face discrimination by the cops, in ANY area of the US. We can only assume that you see more white people vs cops because there ARE more white people in your area.
