I think it's blunt honesty that many of us can resonate with.
Thank diety I'm a white male, but we're no longer "exempt" from this behavior anymore either. I can only begin to imagine the emotions of a targeted demographic.
It's obvious there's a larger problem when young children of all walks of life know that something "bad" is happening when they see a police officer. If the system wasn't so vile they would be happy and thankful to see a police officer because they are "good" people who provide "protection". You know, like how kids feel about firemen.
Have you ever met a child that was terrified a fireman was going to burn down their house?
- PopsiclePete 10y agoI'm a European immigrant to the US and honestly, I wouldn't have stayed if I weren't a white male. There's a lot of great things about the US but a lot of terrifying things about it to, crime and the police being two of them. Again, as long as you're a white male, one is mostly shielded from those. If I were any other kind of ethnicity, I'd have stayed in Europe. Fewer opportunities, but better to be slightly poorer than dead, I say.
- cloudjacker 10y agoWhite males were never 'exempt' You can squeeze in 4 dead black males into primetime annually but this doesn't account for the other 1000 Americans killed by police under equally dubious circumstances It has always been this way in the US Think about it, count on your hand the people you remember being killed
