To call out racism by wypipo?

Do tell.

Have you been here long Trust Buster? Have you watched the Af Ams on this site stalked off the board? Have you seen their group quietly close their doors? Have you even noticed that they are gone?

Is it "privilege" to be afraid of being a crime victim? whathehell May 2018 #24
When someone is crawling through your window, of course you're going to call the police gollygee May 2018 #25
Please don't make this about something it isn't. sheshe2 May 2018 #30
I won't if you won't.. whathehell May 2018 #32
Their fears of college kids napping in dorm rooms? gollygee May 2018 #33
Of course not-- Ditto for the Black dad pushing a stroller whathehell May 2018 #34
Knowing you can call the police on stuff like that and be taken seriously gollygee May 2018 #35
No it's not.. whathehell May 2018 #37
That's still racism gollygee May 2018 #38
Only if statistics are 'racism'. whathehell May 2018 #41
What are the statistics regarding napping college students and dads pushing babies in strollers? nt gollygee May 2018 #42
And yes, using statistics in that way is racist. nt gollygee May 2018 #43
How are facts "racist"? whathehell May 2018 #63
Here's some more for you and the Ober guy who always shows up JustAnotherGen May 2018 #120
Racists almost always think they have a non-race-based reason for their reactions EffieBlack May 2018 #51
Yes and they often blame misrepresented statistics. nt gollygee May 2018 #52
Yep EffieBlack May 2018 #54
Hey you, gollygee, sheshe2 May 2018 #68
White people are far more likely to be the victim of white on white crime than of a black perpetrato EffieBlack May 2018 #46
Yes, but that's about proximity only. whathehell May 2018 #48
White people who call police on black people for no reason "Irrationals." Black people who call EffieBlack May 2018 #44
Not in my book.. whathehell May 2018 #47
White privilege calls a BBQ a crime, sheshe2 May 2018 #36
That's not "privilege", it's neurosis.. whathehell May 2018 #39
How do YOU define "privilege?" EffieBlack May 2018 #53
He's got a point Nevernose May 2018 #97
Privilege doesn't cancel out racism. Privilege is the sense of entitlement that you have every right EffieBlack May 2018 #98
It's privilege. NCTraveler May 2018 #84
It's neurosis.. whathehell May 2018 #105
Let's just toss one up here for discussion. sheshe2 May 2018 #64
Huh? whathehell May 2018 #67
The example you gave above JustAnotherGen May 2018 #93
Yes, but there are, and always be individuals who overreact.. whathehell May 2018 #102
They may be a "minority" but that "minority" has a significant and devastating impact on people and EffieBlack May 2018 #112
Thank you JustAnotherGen May 2018 #117
He called the cops and THEN shot him before they got there. EffieBlack May 2018 #119
No one is doing that JustAnotherGen May 2018 #116
Really? whathehell May 2018 #122
What does the skin colour of the intruder have to do with it?... SidDithers May 2018 #90

Everyone is entitled to call the police if they feel unsafe. fescuerescue May 2018 #95
People need to question why they feel unsafe gollygee May 2018 #96

Nope. whathehell May 2018 #124
You mean like calling police on an innocent black person because you heard that black people EffieBlack May 2018 #129
Yep. ck4829 May 2018 #125
Exactly, and those who overreact are a minority whathehell May 2018 #104
I disagree, majority of white people voted for trump. So they are not a minority JI7 May 2018 #106
The majority of white people don't call the cops about barbeques whathehell May 2018 #107
It doesn't take a majority doing it to case a problem EffieBlack May 2018 #113
