    Right. None of us benefit from any white privilege whatsoever.

    Got it.

    What part of my post gives the slightest impression that I'm speaking for anyone other than myself? Don't get shifty on me, fucknuts. :brood:

    Yes, really. Mr. Cutesy Teenager Internet Text Speak. Crime and punishment has something to do with me when I get arrested.

    Crime and punishment have something to do with the reason you're not getting arrested in the first place.

    No, I guarantee you that most people of any race who conduct themselves like me are not getting arrested. I may smoke a little herb (OK, a lot.), but I didn't quit school to sell it on some corner in my neighborhood, participate in gang warfare over dealing territory, or go out stealing shit to support my habit. I didn't get in big trouble with the law at an early age and use that as an excuse to give up on ever taking responsibility for myself and earning a legitimate living. I don't make a dumb shit display of illiterate belligerence every time I interact with the law, or feel the need to fight them every step of the way to show what a defiant bad ass I am. The stats you cite are obviously collected with racial victimhood in mind, but it's actually tied more to economics and cultural upbringing, and that is not confined to any single race. You can be raised by a poor family in the ghetto and not act like a complete fuckhead at every opportunity, but it is harder, I'll admit that much. But does the lack of easy options make you less responsible for your choices? No, it fucking does not.

    Or maybe it's behavior that does. Now there's a shucking focker.

    Now who's engaging in racial stereotypes?
    I don't think numbers work like that.
    The statistics collected reflect the actions of the police and the judicial system, not the actions of the individuals being searched or charged.

    Definitely the guy who said specifically that it wasn't confined to a single race.

    :rolleyes: Asshat.

    Which only comes into play after you attract the attention of law-enforcement. Remember, you were trying to relate this to me, and my supposed "white privilege." My first line of defense is something anyone of any race can do: Don't be a complete fucking idiot. Keep a low profile. Mind your goddamned manners.

    But that it also somehow explains non-whites being search three times as often as whites, or blacks being incarcerated for possession at 48 times the rate of whites?


    So those three non-whites that get searched for every one white, they were all being complete fucking idiots?

    I wasn't attempting to explain it, and I don't need to in order for what I said to be true. I am not "in the system," therefore I don't benefit from any racial disparity in the system.

    I wouldn't know. But your own cherrypicked bit of statistics claims I'm no less likely to be pulled over. So don't do anything to get yourself pulled over and you'll be fine.

    Well, now, maybe Paladin is just ignorant, because his state legislature banned black history as woke.
    Or whatever their word for it was in the 60's.

    Besides, the Chinese invented rockets. And modern agriculture couldn't exist without the Fertile Crescent in the Middle East.

    Shoulders of giants, etcetera.

    Good point. We should point black people’s contributions towards society like selling other black people to white people as slaves.

    I'm sure you're eternally glad for that, or we might have used your ancestors.

    I mean, we did anyway eventually, but at least Subway pays you.

    If FF were in an episode of DS9, he'd be running around the station posting edgy signs about how it's so unfair to blame the poor Cardassians for the occupation, and what we should REALLY be talking about is the Bajoran collaborators.
