"Hey N****r"
"12 year old Tamir Rice was shot by cleveland police officer Timothy Loehmann"
"Tamir Rice was pronounced dead at the hospital 9 hours later."
Let’'s talk white privilege for a moment shall we.
"I want you to admit that there is such a thing as White privilege."
White privilege means having the confidence to draw, point and
fire a weapon at a counter protester acting like a jackass
in a mass crowd, with police less than 10 feet away.
White privilege means that after yelling "‘hey n****r”" and attempting to
shoot someone, you are charged with discharging a firearm within 1000 feet
of a school.
White privilege means a known grand wizard of the KKK, is treated by police
as if he had been shooting cans for target practice near a school.
Whereas 12- year old Tamir Rice was shot dead by police just for
playing with a toy gun.
And Philando Castille yeah he was shot 7 times from point blank
range during a traffic stop after voluntarily disclosing
that he had a legally registered weapon in the car.
Now tell me again how white privilege does not exist?
Now let’'s for a second switch the races on this coward.
Let’'s say he was a black man who openly drew and discharged a weapon at someone
in plain sight of law enforcement.
Would he be standing in front of a judge facing the charge of having a
weapon close to a school?
Hell naw.
Say he had been attending a Black Lives Matter rally, how would this change the narrative?
Would right wingers be as silent as they have been over this act of terror, or would
they be screaming from the roof tops about how this is what Black Lives Matter stands for?
Or better yet, say he had been a Muslim extremist, firing a weapon at a counter protester.
Do you think law enforcement would have ‘been too distracted by the crowd not to
hear the gunshot?
But this is just another reminder that ‘protesting while white’ means the ability to do as you
please while facing few if any, direct repercussions.
Let me take you back.
Anyone remember Ferguson?
Yeah, It distinctly recall tanks in the streets.
I recall unarmed protesters being pinned to the ground and beaten as if they
were enemy forces on the front lines of f*****g Afghanistan.
But right wing extremists can come to their hate party looking
like f*****g Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Commando,” and they are given the “Hands off, don’t shoot”
treatment and a slap on the wrist.
Right wing terrorists can be caught on video brutally beating a black teenager,
and walk free for weeks, only being held accountable after a huge social
media push to condemn them.
Oh but don’t worry, the statues can sleep well at night knowing that
law enforcement were quick to identify and arrest the seven
threats to public safety who allegedly toppled a confederate statue.
But we have heard this song for years.
For years armed, right wing militia have been turning up at their protests armed to the teeth,
intimidating everyone including law enforcement.
"I will kill you state trooper."
Anyone remember the Bundy brothers?
"I need you to bring your arms and we need you to come to the Malheur
National Wildlife Refuge."
The group was arrested last February after a six-week-long occupation on the
Malheur Wildlife Refuge during which they broke into a federal facility, defiled Native
American artifacts and burial grounds, and threatened police
and other officials with assault rifles and other weapons, only
to be acquitted on all charges.
"Just want to come out and offer you guys the opportunity to help you get out."
Oh remember that time when 8 black protesters staged an armed takeover of a
federal facility and got off scot free?
Yeah, me neither.
I mean, low and behold if a black guy takes a knee before a
football game to highlight inequality in the arrest,
sentencing and use of deadly force against black bodies by
the justice system, he is denounced as a traitor for
disrespecting law enforcement, but as long as you’'re white,
threatening to shoot law enforcement if approached, or
anyone for that matter at a protest, ah well, you'’re just a
good ol fashioned patriot concerned about preserving
traditional rights.
Time and time again we find ourselves discussing police violence towards an
unarmed black citizen when people on the right attempt to justify police response by
suggesting that the victim was endangering the police who
feared for their lives.
"Maybe the officer was justified, if this was a bad guy maybe he
wasn't the gentle giant."
While here we have an armed thug, who opens fire, endangering the
lives of several people, and the police response is nothing, no intervention,
no effort to hold him any more accountable than an everyday jaywalker.
He openly shot at a person, this shit is bananas.
How about attempted murder?
How about a hate crime?
How about unlawful brandishing of a firearm?
Unlawful discharge of a firearm, unlawful discharge of a firearm within City limits,
unlawful brandishing of a firearm with intent to intimidate?
Ah but no, a known member of the KKK will face the limp arm of the law for firing a
weapon in front of police, all while in two months time, we
will be remembering the 3rd year anniversary of when a 12 year
old was shot dead for playing with a toy gun.
That’'s what it means to have white privilege.
