White America’s Waco insanity: The shocking realities it ignores about racism & violence

Salon ^ | May 20, 2015 | Brittney Cooper, teaches Women's and Gender Studies and Africana Studies at Rutgers

Brittney needs to quit her whinin’ and join Western Civilization with the prosperous people.

It’s not “white” privilege, it’s “having prosperous cultural values” privilege.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Maybe if blacks wouldn’t riot and burn down their own neighborhoods when ever they got upset, we wouldn’t see riot police, tear gas and the National Guard.

Maybe if blacks would acknowledge that while there is racism still in our society, our society as a whole has improved by leaps and bounds in regard to racial equality in the last 60 years, we would find some common ground to move forward on.

Maybe if blacks were to be seen on TV saying things like “When criminals get shot for acting like criminals, that has nothing to do with them being black”, we can have a real conversation.

[Steely Tom]

Just because “Studies” is a part of her job title don’t get the idea that Brittney does any actual studying.

She knows nothing about the White Man’s Burden....

[Billthedrill]

Another disgusting racist in Salon. It must be a day ending in "y".

I'd have been fine with a SWAT team that went to Baltimore and left nine dead looters on the ground. But that didn't happen. Black privilege.

[CodeJockey]

All things considered, if I were at at ATM early one morning, I'd rather turn around and see a one percenter than a Michael Brown type.

Don't mess with them and you'll do ok. Ask the store clerk or Darren Wilson who was the provocateur.

[21twelve]

ALL the dead bikers were killed by police!? Where did you hear that?

[TalBlack]

“Never do you find white people encouraging other whites to be nonviolent. “

The above is absolute utter Bullshit.

[Paladin2]

The popos are being niggardly with the details.

[TigersEye]

What an utterly wasted life.

[Steely Tom]

What an utterly wasted life.

Well... she is filling a professorship at Rutgers, where she will be forever, thereby preventing someone possibly less mediocre - and therefore more destructive - from getting it.

[RichInOC]

Actually, Brittney, no, I don’t consider people shooting at each other in the parking lot of a restaurant “good ole American fun”. And “biker gang” has equaled “thugs” nearly as long as there have been outlaw motorcycle clubs. But please, continue spouting your ignorance. It apparently pays your bills.

[Albion Wilde]

Everything she wrote after "white on white" to describe the biker gang shootout is based on her total misunderstanding of what she was looking at. I guess all white people look alike to her; but even a casual glance at the mug shots shows a very definite difference between the Cossack gang, whose members are "white", and the Bandidos gange, whose members are various types of hispanic persons, largely various types of South American Indians and Spanish- South Amerindian mix. She would also have paid attention to the turf war in progress over drug-running between these two criminal groups.

She denounces "whites" for not bearing racial shame that this incident happened, and that whites are free of the stigma of race when a crime happens by one of their own. I understand her frustration over this point; however, the fact that a relative degree of lower crime among whites allows this "privilege" is not something that should be used to shame a group. It should be upheld as something to emulate.

With the left, nothing is ever their own responsibility. The worst, most heinous behavior is someone else's fault. I frequently advise my professional-class black friends to stop "identifying" with the black criminal underclass, and certainly to stop teaching their private-schooled, privileged children to do that.

The MANY mugshots of the Waco bikers

FBI calls the biker gangs involved in deadly Waco shooting 'criminal enterprises' who 'pose a serious national domestic threat'

Pictured: The moment lone cop kept at least seven gang members on the ground during shoot-out as it emerges battle began 'when biker ran over rival's FOOT' following year-long turf war

By the way, at least two of the men arrested in the shoot out were blacks. I do not know which side they were on, but instinct tells me they were probably riding with the whites.

[Albion Wilde]

What this idiot fails to mention is that these white criminal gangs attacked each other.

See my prior post just upthread. One of the gangs was not "white" in the gringo sense of the word — the Bandidos are either South American indians from Mexico and points south, or Americans of indian-hispanic origin.

[Albion Wilde]

But its been this way since the 1960’s. Negroes are a protected class.

So much so, that people can say "Caucasian", but they can no longer say "Negro" unless they are African-Americans raising funds for the United Negro College Fund. I play a word game online, but the word "Negro" is not allowed in the game.

[Responsibility2nd]

How about the feminine derivative I used in post 21?

Could you use that word? Try it and see.

[JimRed]

You can take down the illegal drug industry using technology and common market forces as a comprehensive strategy.

Track the crap back to the source; infiltrate the production end and poison the supply. Then announce that it has been poisoned.

It gives the junkies an option: quit or commit suicide.

At least dogs can be nice.

The ferals? The best analogy would be some kind of big cat—ruthless, uncompromising, deadly.
