Why I REALLY am quitting social media -- Essena ONeill

shang says...

Jeez using her white privilege to feed ego by luring in the countless white knight beta males.

The misandry is stupid

Your stupidity is now legendary

Drachen_Jager says...

Don't white people in America have any shame? You marginalize African Americans to the point where they get little or no education, they can't find work. So you call them lazy and don't provide social assistance. So, duh, they steal shit and sell drugs. That's what desperate people do.

Then this guy comes along and tries to shame them? No, buddy, you and your cop friends start treating African Americans as human beings, you develop a fair society where even the poorest and blackest citizens get a good education and a fair shot at jobs, then you can talk. Until then you're just the poster-child for white privilege, and the sad thing is you don't even know it.

How To Play Frisbee All By Yourself (and other trick shots)

iaui says...

Well, this fellow is very white, frisbee golf just seems like a very white thing to do, and partly I'm channeling Bill Burr's rant walking throughout Newport as he spouts hyperbolically about white privilege and then there's a motorhome driving through that he refers to as white trash. This fellow definitely isn't white trash, but there's a certain blissful socio-economically absurd trashyness/kitsch to a black and orange painted motorhome driving around with a frisbee golf cage on it, like the world's things are but toys in this man's sway. There's just this feel that pervades the short films, like we're seeing another of the Winkelvoss twins at play. He reminds me of a friend in university who learned to play Mario Tennis on the N64 against himself, each hand with a separate controller.

He's just so absurdly (yet innocently) white, in such a way as to be deserving of light ribbing. There's clearly an ineffable quality that I'm struggling to describe but do you know what I mean, even partly?

What does one have to do with the other?

Typical Evo wunderkid...

Payback says...

Don't have to. I have white privilege.

Not really seeing any disagreement in your statement though...

You own an EVO or WRX. Do much rallying? Driven in Pike's Peak? Do you, as the "Bellend" in the video does, just bomb around town acting like you're the shit because you're going fast and getting decent gas mileage?
If you don't do any of that... you're a hipster. You completely wasted your money for "prestige". An EVO or WRX deserves to be driven. It's what they're designed for. At least the douchebag is getting close to using the tool properly.

It's like people who buy 1000cc twin turbo crotch rockets. Either they drive like retarded psychopaths, or they just like that people THINK they drive like retarded psychopaths.

Putting anything "race day" on the street without racing it is sad. Racing it on the street is stupid.

If -and I doubt it- you've actually purchased your vehicle, and you use it properly, congratulations, you're an exception. Nothing is black and white, but if you see one of those cars driving around town, it's a hipster or a douchebag behind the wheel, and you, as the exception, KNOW I'm right.

Apparently, just for owning one, I have been called a hipster and a douchebag. You don't even know me.

police officer body slams teen in cuffs

GenjiKilpatrick says...

Poe's law is an internet adage which states that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, parodies of extremism are indistinguishable from sincere expressions of extremism.

Poe's Law implies that parody will often be mistaken for sincere belief, and.. sincere beliefs for parody.

You're a parody of yourself.. Bob-ception.

Firstly - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cases_of_police_brutality_in_the_United_States

Would you like to also explain how Racism is a modern liberal invention that didn't "truly" exist before 1950.

Second - LMAO. Really.. blame the media for YOUR racism?

You and Lantern are the ones portraying blacks as lazy stupid thugs & savages.

You can deny that.. But all your comments are archived so..

Yeah, the only reason FoxNews does it is because YOU watch it.

Lastly -

When all the dimwitted unapologetic willfully ignorant old racist folks like you finally kick the bucket.. then we can move on.

Your ignorance and denialism of White Privilege & White Fragility aka Aggrieved White Man Syndrome is the problem.

As soon as there's a generation where the majority of white people go..

"Wow, yeah.. our ancestors totally fucked everyone else over and we still directly benefit from that.. sorry guys.

We're gonna make up for that."

THEN we can finally move on.

That should probably only take another.. 300 - 500 years.

bobknight33 said:

And why does Police Brutality exist? It was not truly present 20 - 30 years ago. Not like it is now.

As for white privilege:
As long as blacks are portrayed as unmotivated, uneducated, thugs. in the news and then media ( movies) there will be a perceived white privilege. The news and media have put more anti black fear into this country than any other group.

If you had to hire a 20 yr old for a factory job and all you know was that 1 was white and one was black , which would you hire?
When this answer becomes 50/50 then we all can move on.

GenjiKilpatrick says...

Okay, so.. To start *deeep breath* ..

#1 - Conflating frequency & social norms is the first flaw in your weak sauce argument/opinion/whatever.

Norms are essentially social boundaries.
They ensure a certain level of compliance & conformity in a group.

The frequency of a behavior doesn't determine a norm.
Social acceptance does.

If informal rules are accepted & practiced by enough of the group, it's a (the) norm.

So..

#2 - Because police brutality is practiced & accepted enough.. it's the (a) norm.

A fact proven by comments like this from @lucky760..

A comment that illustrates those exact informal, unwritten rules of compliance.

Completely accepting that "well, of course cops on a powertrip clearly can't control themselves. What did you expect?".

Or comments from jerkfaces like Lantern53 (who is a cop), usually:
"Most people who get shot by the police deserved it."

Because in his child-like brain, only "bad guys get in trouble"..

So if a cop is beating you half (usually all the way) to death.
You must have done some "bad guy stuff" to start.

Which brings us to..

#3 - Your disgustingly ignorant, disingenuous denialism.

"Let's *scoff* pretend that everyday, for every brutal beating you hear about..

There's another even more violent murder..

That's ONLY 365 excessive force murders a year!

That's NOT representative of all 1 million police officers."

...@_@.. just ..@_@... Because:

A) As an "angry black man" who is distinctly enraged by police brutality..

I certainly don't need or appreciate you - a racially illiterate white male - pullin' the fuckin' race card.

"What if I made these generalizations about black people? Hmm? *pouty face* Woodn't da make you a wittle upset?"

THAT SHIT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY. Especially on the internet.

In fact, @BoneRemake has accused me of sellin' out or whatever because..

Most of my recent activity on this site has been a very pointed, belligerent direct response to the stupid shitty cuntbag comments of Videosift's resident racist jingoists.. @bobknight33 & @lantern53.

The latter of which is a police officer of 30 years.

B) Of course not EVERY SINGLE police officer or police interaction is violently excessive.

The point is - it's fucked up that videos like this appear on a regular basis. With little to no punishment for the officers involved.

Sure there are lots of good people in the world..

{Main Point} That means absolutely nothing when you're specifically illustrating & discussing the shitty, bad people in the world. {Main Point}


So yeah, i definitely don't need you and your patronizing AS FUCK white privilege apologist rhetoric to tell me..

"You know, not ALL cops are bad."

Yeah.. i know. Would you also like to tell me about how:

"Every interaction I've had with Law Enforcement has been benign and/or pleasant."

"I've never been followed around a store for fear I might steal something."

..-_-

oohlalasassoon said:

I'm not the apologist you think I am by the way.

So, let's presume your statement that this happens everyday is true. In fact, let's double it, and say for every incident you hear about, there's another that goes unnoticed, and is worse. You're saying the egregious actions of 2 officers per day, is indicative of the type of day MOST cops lead on a daily basis, i.e. : the norm?

bobknight33 says...

Your right Police Brutality trumps All Privilege.. It was a cheep shot and I took it. The girl messed up and paid dearly.

And why does Police Brutality exist? It was not truly present 20 - 30 years ago. Not like it is now.

As long as blacks are portrayed as unmotivated, uneducated, thugs. in the news and then media ( movies) there will be a perceived white privilege. The news and media have put more anti black fear into this country than any other group.

GenjiKilpatrick said:

I know you're dumb/purposefully ignorant juuust so you can make idiotic snarky comments like this..

But you and everyone else know that Police Brutality trumps All Privilege.

For example, that 17-year old white libertarian kid that got murdered by a cop for flashing his headlights.

White Privilege is simply all the perks that go with whiteness.

Jon Stewart on Charleston Terrorist Attack

GenjiKilpatrick says...

Now do you get why the "Angry Black Person" Stereotype exists?

Now do you get why a bunch of teens would riot & destroy their own community?

Stop trying to nullify, neutralize, invalidate the institutional oppression of People of Color!!

Non-whites will NEVER be treated with such kid gloves.

We see it OVER and OVER and OVER again. Daily. Weekly. Monthly.

People of Color are treated less than human, constantly.

Since the founding of the country!

The American Empire was build upon the suffering & oppression of Indigenous Peoples, Kidnapped Africans, Kidnapped Chinese.

White Privilege is the resultant REAL Institution of all that oppression and suffering.

Denying White Privilege is denying People of Color their humanity.

Denying ANY human their humanity makes you inhumane.

So FUCKING STOP IT!!

Jon Stewart on Charleston Terrorist Attack

GenjiKilpatrick says...

Exactly! Cops (or anyone really) see a scrawny white kid and think..

"He probably isn't dangerous"

Cops see an unarmed black teen and they immediately see them as a threat or a criminal.



Stop! Asserting that:

- the Civil War wasn't about Slavery..

- that white people are treated just as poorly as black people (sometimes)..

- that the ONLY DIFFERENCE between cops arresting a MASS fucking MURDERER WITHOUT INCIDENCE..

And murdering 12 year old Tamir Rice for wielding a BB-GUN!

Is that Rice pointed a "realistic-looking" gun at cops.


It's belittling, demeaning, insulting, disingenuous, and delusional to suggest that People of Color are treated by the same standards.

THIS is what White-Privilege provides you with.
A "get out of instantly being gunned-down" card..


So it's INFURIATING to have some cockfaced asshole like You or Lantern or Bobknight tell me..

that anything other than ingrained INSTITUTIONAL RACISM is responsible for the way People of Color are brutalized, jailed & murdered regularly, causally and on a daily basis.


Like I said before. Fuck off with that..
"Well, cops are mean to ME TOO!!" bullshit.

Stop diminishing the fundamental mistreatment of non-whites in America.

It's disgusting. It's sickening.
And it's perpetuated by willfully ignorant rhetoric like yours.

scheherazade said:

Maybe the cop saw a scrawny white kid and simply didn't feel intimidated.

Claimed Police Brutality - What is your take?

bobknight33 says...

Do what the cop wants and everyone moves on. Right from the get go total lack of civility. Bogus stop or not.

@GenjiKilpatrick
I must admit that white privilege is working for the white chick.. Oh wait there is some evidence i see -- oh fuck she is obeying the officer.

Maybe the others could learn a thing a two on how to obey a cop. Have some fucking manners and listen.

White Party - A Lesson in Cultural Appropriation

JustSaying says...

Ok, first things first. If you quote me and you decide to mark pieces of what I wrote somehow, don't do it out of fucking context. The part you turned into bold lettering is only a part of a sentence and does not communicatre the actual meaning of what I wrote at all.
I know you're not a troll but what you did there is suspiciously close to trolling. I know you're better than this. However, that is not ok. I do take issue with that especially because I know you and I are not on opposing teams here. You're not one the racist trolls here, neither am I, you know who I mean without using names.

Second, read my statement carefully. It's pretty much akin to the concept of the self-fullfilling prophecy. The statement I made validifies itself be me stating it.
Here's what I said phrased differently:
White people are better at being racist than everybody else because we don't suffer its consequences. White privilege, lack of empathy and inability to consider another point of view on the issue allows us to disregard the impact of it. That means we can be more clueless and uncaring in our behaviour as we don't feel the historical gravity, more or less immediate consequences or emotional toll of it as long as we can surpress whatever empathy for other humans we have.
Let me re-quote myself without your bullshit bold lettering:
'If there's one thing where white people are far more superiour than anybody else, it's having a feeling of superiority.'
Read that again!
And again!
You call that gloating? Really? A guy saying 'look at me, I'm best at being a shitty person!' is gloating in your opinion?
By stating this, I prove myself to be true, I validify my point by mentioning it. My point is not a good thing. Being arrogant is not a good thing.

Third, I get you are angry. You're a black guy living in the US, right? You should be pissed. There is this stereotype of the 'angry black man'. I never thought about it until Obama became President and political realities cause him to be wary of it.
If you are not white and a US citizen you have every right in the world to be pissed. Racism exists everywhere but one country where it still remains a huge, huge, superfuckinghuge problem is yours.
Pretty much everything encompassing domestic issues in the US has a racial component. My own country has serious problems with racism. Go, ask as german dude with turkish roots about his expirience. Every 'Achmed' has a story about it. Racism is like herpes, even if you don't have it, you're always at risk to be affected anyways.
Don't be mad at me, you're barking up the wrong tree . I may be an insesitive asshole and I won't deny the benefits of being white myself but I'm simply not your problem. People who want to keep you down because they don't like your pigmentation are.

GenjiKilpatrick said:

Holy FUCK this comment is ridiculously racist.
You should understand that, right?

In a Rational world, nowhere on the face of the planet..

would anyone contradict themselves in the same sentence, message, or idea..

..then immediately assert that they're "totally-not-that-thing"..

while continuing to do or be that very thing that "they're-totally-not"..


That angsty "ALL humans are scumbags" & flowery bit at the end DOES NOT magically make you not "impossibly-not-that-at-all-because-i-don't-FEEL-i'm-that-way" because still..

You are effectively gloating about your white privilege, then sayin'
"let's not make it about race or anything tho".


And all rest of you upvoters..

should feel like thickheaded, numbskulls for endorsing and/or essentially gloating & chuckling along with.

Seriously, re-read this quote here..

If you heard a coworker speaking like this.. would you not be uncomfortable? No?

GenjiKilpatrick says...

As a "black person" .. fuck off.

If you wanna pick a fight with me, i can get all in your shit too.

Tho I try to save most of my vitriol for folks who really deserve it, like Lantern.

But there's plenty to go around.

Seriously, back off.

p.s. -

If you really want to whine about how your offended when someone calls "white people" on your white privilege..
