re: #230 Tourquoise Supremacist

It’s not about white privilege, it’s about non-black privilege. And yes, like it or not, there is an unspoken hierarchy.

Right. And how institutionalized racist treatment of young black men led to inaction by the Sanford police department because the victim is a young black make. There is no doubt in my mind that this would have not even been a question had the victim been some young white male. Especially if they saw his photo in a football uniform. There would have been an outcry at 100 decibels.

It’s like when young black males are murdered. You barely hear of those murders. It’s like all of the missing black women that are never addressed not only by the police but by the media. If a white woman goes missing, especially if she’s attractive, the media is all over it.
