If there's one thing that is laughable, it's the made up phrase "reverse racism".

Pointing out that the odds are if a white person is wielding a gun at a demonstration, or in a situation where the police are called in, they're less likely to get shot than someone of color is not "racism" or the made up "reverse racism".

Especially since "reverse racism" is just a dog whistle phrase made to give people a chance to be a victim or claim they were victimized by some perceived wrong doing or slight against the dominant culture that is either not real nor caused by an act of racism.

Don't be that guy.

You're also making no sense there. You're *not* there and you're *not" Caucasian and you're also *republican*. Want to make totally irrelevant arguments some more?

I could understand if I said "all white people do this", but I didn't say anything remotely close to that.

You can go ahead and do that. But the difference would be I would actually understand the point you'd be (poorly) trying to make, and laugh at it because it really makes no sense. Whereas you missed, by a country mile, the point I was making. So go ahead and make that statement, and I'll just laugh at it.

Do you even know what the term racist means? No where did I say that white people are worse than other people or that any particular race is inherently better than another.

In cases where there are groups of people gathering, and this group happens to be white, it's hard to deny that white people tend to be treated differently by authority figures, than that of people who are not white and are gathering in groups. Hell, there don't even have to be guns. They could just be having a BBQ in a park in Oakland. Or they're in their own apartment. Or they're playing in a park. Or they're jogging. Or they're selling cigarettes. Or they're wearing a hoodie. Or driving their own car doing nothing illegal.

Ask any person of color, and they'll say there are certain rules they have to follow that white people don't.

In all those cases, no where am I implying all white people are one thing or that white people are inferior to others (or anyone is inferior/better than others). It was, albeit sardonically, pointing out that there's a pattern here.

You're denying of the pattern is pretty obvious.

 

You really need to learn history and buy a dictionary.

 

rac·ist
/ˈrāsəst/
Learn to pronounce

noun
noun: racist; plural noun: racists

1. a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
   "the comments have led to her being called a racist"
   adjective

adjective: racist

1. showing or feeling discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or believing that a particular race is superior to another.
   "we are investigating complaints about racist abuse at the club"

Where did I show either definition? Because I didn't say one race was superior to another anywhere in my post. No where did I show a prejudicial notion in the post either.

Again, please learn history and invest a dictionary.

 

I assume it was an accident, since the reply/quote buttons are right next to the like button.

 

Saying that the reason they are able to be less bothered by authorities because they're white is not even remotely close to the same as saying "people who eat catfish are black".

And the fact you think that is an accurate analogy is pretty weird to me. Especially since one is a prejudicial statement, and the other is a statement on an event.

And usually when people complain about racism/prejudicial comments, the comments that say negative things about people. Saying these people are white and thus are less likely to get flack from authorities (compared to that of a similar situation with POC), is not a negative thing about people.

It's called being able to look at a lot of events over the course of our countries history, and realizing that white privilege is a real thing.

If anything, you should be bent out of shape of me implying there is such a thing as white privilege. Although, in a way, 'reverse racism' and people saying 'that's racist against white people', is the modern way to deny that white privilege exists. So maybe you did?
