Mass Shootings, Starring white People

Born in Syria = white.

Jesus was born in that part of the world, therefore, he's white too.

Is that how this game is played?

So let's go back to this alleged "potent primary labeling" that I'm pretty sure someone just made up today.  Let's say I accept your premise (I don't, but let's go down this road anyway) that anyone with lighter skin automatically has some sort of privilege because almsot literally everyone is conditioned that black = bad and white = good so whatever you look like, that's gonna be people's first reaction.  Am I supposed to now believe that this proves the original tweet?  Which, in case you forgot, says:


Now, I don't know about you fuckers, but I took a logic class or two once upon a time.  I realize that logic is a tool of white supremacy and therefore has no place in this or any argument.  But there's this thing called modus tollens.  To break it down for those of you who don't speak Latin, it means:


So this guy is saying: If he wasn't killed by cops, then he's white.  The logical conclusion, based on modus tollens, is: If he's not white, then he wasn't not killed by cops.  Which, if you haven't figured out where I'm going here, means that if you're not white, you are always killed rather than being arrested.  

Listen, I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that policing in this country is anywhere lose to perfect.  But when your immediate response to a white person getting arrested for a violent crime is, "He would have been shot if he was black," then you're just not a serious person who deserves to be engaged in meaningful debate.  If you can't even act like it's somehow OK for the cops to have apprehended the suspect without shooting him, then you don't sound like you want cops to stop killing black people; you sound like you want them to start killing white people.  Fuck, maybe that is what you want.  But if so, just come out and say it.  But pretending that every violent black criminal is indiscriminately gunned down like a dog isn't solving anything.  All it's doing is making normal people think you're a race-baiting asshole, which unquestionably makes race relations worse, not better.

ETA: I will reluctantly give this guy credit for at least being honest about the fact that he's openly asking white people to give him money simply for the sin of being white.  My god, imagine fucking donating to this con man...

exactly

hey remember the DC sniper back in the early aughts and how everyone was sure it'd be a white guy and it turned out to be 2 blax AND they were taken alive?  Guess since everyone thought they were gonna be a white guy their "perceived whiteness" saved them.

ETA: this post got me to 600 and told me to "Seek Therapy" which I believe we can all agree I should

Have you guys seen the stupid meme with 9 or so ppl, who was taken alive and who was MURDERED by cops?

I am tired of Michael Brown being lumped in with the innocents? I am so close to unfollowing Charly Caruso its not even funny!

She’s right, you know. 

I'm sure the NRA will rush to defend him for merely openly carrying weapons.
