I don't think a lot of the incidents have been as a result of racism but stereotyping.

Good one. I was able to drive to work today, change lanes and not put on my blinker. I didn't even get pulled over.

Watch out for those black helicopters.

In a nutshell, we all need to do a little better WRT race.

But if you are a deadbeat and you are black, or you are a deadbeat and you are white, your still a deadbeat.

If you are awesoe and you are black or if you are awesone and you are white, you are awesome.

Chief Davis in Dallas is a leader. He is black. And he is awesome.

We SHOULD make the law as colorblind as possible, based on your actions.

Me neither spending most of my youth in Roxbury and Dorchester Ma.
Certainly didn't feel white privileged every 1st of the month with a welfare office around the corner from my grandfather's repair shop.
A parade of nice cars all day long every 1st week of the month going to pick up their checks.
Now they get them electronically
