Well, yes, I disagree with a blank statement like the police are racist (sure some are).That is why I linked to factual stats. If the police are racists, then why are so many white people in jail and top the numbers in death under their custody? As for the racist issue in general, I don't ignore...

Correct. This is due to the sad fact that news only carries what news thinks sells. White people getting killed by the police, that are supposed to Serve And Protect, is not news. Native American people getting killed by police is also not news. Can you see the pattern? It is not a race issue...

Sure, let's hear it. http://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=2228 One can download the pdf table, and the white male hit the jack pot in getting killed by the police. As I hinted in my previous post, the US may has an police issue, but what ever issue it may be it is not limited to Native...

As for the young woman, I suspect a hyper sensitive personality only, and a good opportunity to make his (MTV guy) story. My longest standing business partner is from Jamaica, and loves fancy cars, even a Canadian License plate did not stop the police from flagging him down. I did not believe...

That is what I was getting at. White privilege exist only as far as prejudice is permitted to exist.

Then it's a language thing. Privilege, as per Oxford World English, is something exclusive to a group. If this is something real in the US, and I only lived there for four years, then I missed it. And the video did not show it either, except using typical CNN (US media) type drama to hammer in...

Main oaths of Boys Scouts On my honor I will do my best To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. It's predominately a religious based institution. I may not agree...

http://www.wsj.com/articles/boy-scouts-to-vote-on-ending-ban-on-gay-adults-1438016457 Oh boy. Will you send your boy to the scouts? They lost already the support from Intel Corp and one other one. It's called a victory by some, I think a very old institution is falling apart. Not sure if this...

That quote of mine was before I watched the entire video. The video claims or tries to make a claim for white privileges, maybe it's semantics only but I fail to see it. I lived in Cali, San Fran until the earth quake. Prejudice exists (existed) and minorities can loose out on some of the...

Ah, I watched the entire video right now, (Adobe Flash is removed on my computers); and this is the forth time I noticed your statement requesting to watch the video, so I downloaded the file and watched it. At minute 21, one young woman sort agrees with my sentiment, being white alone does not...

I thought this topic is about the Native American? Anyway, I respectfully disagree. Just because one is white does not give one privileges or even parts of privileges enjoyed by the privileged class. There were, are and always will be the Have and Have Not. The reason I am not apologetic about...

Fair enough. Here is the Law against willfully promoting hatred. Is does not matter which group. Both, elevating Nazis and demoting Jews (or other groups), are fobidden http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stgb/__130.html here are the laws against promoting forbidden groups, or your reference to...

I am in Canada, and the Canadian Government officially apologized for their cruel treatments of First Nations, and followed through with corrective actions. The healing process is not a instant affair though, and some wounds simply wont heal. One major issue is the culture. Whites formed...

Correct. Even a small potato like me can go and investigate, quite openly. Frankly, this holocaust was so shocking, I had a hard time believing it and needed to figure this out for myself. Also, even so getting way off topic, but I do feel strongly about this: one is permitted to even deny the...

The laws only explicitly forbid denying holocaust facts to promote anti antisemitism. And it has to be proven in court that your opinion against the holocaust is willfully anti Semitic. Thus I think freedom of speech exists, even in Germany, for as long as your speech, right or wrong is not...
