Fry guy, where did I mention that a kid was arrested?

This is not just people being mean to others-

The man, black or not should not have been asked to leave the shop where he was just doing a job and not doing a crime.

Also- agsin- this isn't just about people being mean- it is about people losing their life.

Didn't you say that? Some kids got arrested or kicked out of a store for being black. Not for loitering or because some hare-brained loser suddenly thought they were potential threats or whatever. No it was because they were black.

Growing up I was constantly out with my mates and more often than I can count I would have police officers come and hassle shit out of us for no reason other than they were arseholes and were of the belief no doubt that they had to keep these young boys in check. As an older man I would have happily got badge numbers and names and read them the riot act and I have done this in more recent years but when you are a 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 year old you really do not have that maturity or self-confidence.

So were the cops doing this to be arseholes? IF I was black would them doing this to me be because I was black? How would you know?

This is why I am not happy with anecdotes. Plenty you can ascribe an intent of racism which is as easily explained with the description of arsehole. Describe everything as because someone is a racist by all means and use this perception to be a cultural pathology and good luck with that filter and that narrative.

I happen to believe that most people are arseholes and MANY of those arseholes are racists. But I think it is like murderers, pedophile and rapists, they DO exist, the threat IS there, it is NOT unfounded BUT the fear and its factual existence leads many to see it everywhere and attribute it as a larger cultural issue than it is.

Nope, nope, nope.

If that upsets, triggers, or offends anyone, let me repeat.

Look, mister. Racism is alive & well in the United States. It's not hidden away, it's blatant and it happens everyday across America. There IS such a thing as white privilege, it's a fact of life here. You don't have to believe it, many Americans don't, you, and them, are being willfully ignorant, again, you don't have to believe it, neither do they but it's a fact nonetheless.

Are you mansplaining to me? I read Love Child's description of what manspalining is and presuming the Internet adage

I think you checked all the boxes.

(BTW I retort to what you actually put to me is in the paragraph above you quote)
