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

Still racism. nt gollygee May 2018 #114
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
