Re: White Privilege Defined
Bullshit! maybe she as a woman wanted to see a woman win and she thought the party didn't do enough and this was the best chance for a woman to be president.

Re: North and South Korea progress...
Maybe Trump's 'stable genius' qualities and behaviours, that many of us think make him generally unsuitable for the presidency, created the required urgency on both sides of the Korean border (and in China) to make sincere progress. We roll our eyes at Trump's tweets etc but maybe in this case his e...

Re: White Privilege Defined
Open carry by African-Americans interests me, and I would like to know more about it beyond the one-off police reaction videos - how comfortable they feel doing it, white/police reaction to it - anybody got any links that study this?

Re: White Privilege Defined
Gender also plays a role - 'take a step back, take a step back' - you have to compare how two male police officers would react to a black female rather than a black male in this situation. Would they have handcuffed a white male etc? They clearly do not feel threatened. That said, the police all ove...

It’s power, they had to tread lightly- there’s always the slim chance their career could be over if their boss didn’t back them 100%. She announced straight away who she was and put the fear in them.

That’s not white privilege, it’s privilege. The cops handled it well, didn’t back down, took the car and reported her. It's a mixture of race and class.

It's not a straight up race issue as class is also involved. Poor white people would generally not be afforded such tolerance by the police officers either. However, it is difficult to imagine a well-spoken black professional getting away with that shit without being handcuffed by "take a step back,...
