Why is it poor and lower middle class whites don't see how they socially are as vulnerable as 90% of Minorities?
I think many of the whites who are poor/working poor/lower middle class are delusional when it comes to how they think that Jenna or Ethan would be treated by the cops/courts any better than Jamaal or Keycarra or Luis or Alana. I think whites should look at how it's now much less about race and more about social class/income regarding oppression and injustice. Perfect example would be if Zimmerman was an upper middle class black guy and shot poor white kid Trayvon as all the cons cry--it would've not been heard. Not due to race, but due to class. I find it funny especially with cons how they think that lower middle class and poor white people would get more justice than a pot or lower middle class black/Hispanic kid. Like it or not a upper middle class or rich white/black/Asian/Latino family gets less calls and compliants/labels of being "suspicious" for simply existing and being in public from middle age and old white people, less confrontational treatment from cops, and actually get indictments when wronged and/or not be overly punished.

You can't have a reasonable conversation about black people and the police without first recognizing that the crime rate of black people is much higher than that of whites
Sure there is racial profiling but it is not entirely the fault of white police officers.
That's the reason why so few normal people take you lefties seriously.
You do a great job with slogans and convincing each other but most other people think you are full of it.

Once again, you people bring up the lie that "all Republicans are rich" when in fact, not true. Funny how in an anti-capitalist rant, we are "rich" but if the topic is welfare, we are all accused of "being on it". Get your stories right! But you know how you obtain "equal justice"? By being like us poor white folk who vote Republican along with the rich ones depending on the topic of the day and NOT COMMIT CRIMES which get you arrested in the first place! PROBLEM SOLVED!

.01%) of America realized early on that they could avoid the class warfare they had in Europe by giving poor Europeans an honorary status ( without actually giving them any real economic power ). They invented and propagated the very powerful illusion of distinct races in order to keep the poor from aligning themselves against them

They understand they are as vulnerable, they just don't share the victim mentality and instead try to find a way to pull themselves out of that situation instead of crying for a hand out. And when one them does get killed by a police officer, we take the individuals actions into account before we riot and burn down our neighborhood.

What I find funny is how our Totalitarian-Lite folks (aka Progressives) pine away, year after year, for the working class white people to join them in their march to take over the United States. Word to the wise, TLBoy: Not gonna happen.
