Cops are racist. Look up Tim Wise - White Privilege

Law Enforcement Officers - when asked:

"what's the first thing you think when you see a young black or latino male driving a nice car in your neighborhood?"

Overwhelming respond with.. well you know Lantern.

What do YOU generally think when you see young black & brown people driving fancy cars.

Probably the same thing you think when see a Trayvon Martin or Mike Brown on the news..

The cops think the same thing.

If there was a thumbnail of Tim and the name of the video was 'white privilege', bet more white folk would watch it as opposed to a vid with a thumbnail of a person of color talking about white privilege, yah mean?

Regardless, Tim wise is mighty good and his incorporation of class analysis boosts his points with me.

I find it ironic that you are doing exactly what the preacher accuses black people of doing: blaming your situation on another race. Except in this case you fear something that has a threat level below that of a paper cut. "Paranoia" is right.

You talk about your fears and the fears of the union, but I have not heard of any suffering you have had to endure. So, I don't understand what it is you are afraid of.

So a lazy worker got reassigned for some bogus reason. That happens all the time to all types of people.

In my company, we document poor performance and behavior, and give repeated warnings. So, when the time for action comes, there is no question of guilt. Any racial accusations have to be similarly documented to have weight. But, while I have never seen someone get fired over a mere accusation, I have seen many cases of people who blatantly sexually harass women or insult some minority, yet keep their jobs.

In fact, I don't see why it is in any minority's interest to raise dust over racism, even when it is real. What is the payout? An even more hostile work environment?

The preacher on this videos exaggerates to the point of creating a caricature of the average black person. If he or Tim Wise said that 70% of whites are racists, I bet you'd have a problem with that.
