    Its not really about racism (racial superiority) when it comes to the police - its about stereotyping. Police (of all races) associate black people in the ghettos as being crime ridden, so naturally they will conduct more patrols in these areas and also more as a consequence of increased 911 calls.
    Could it be that those communities and the citizens that live there have asked for more police due to high crime rates? Could that simply be the community and police leaders have strategically placed police into high crime areas? Why do I see more cops in Forest Lawn than Tuscany?

    I got sympathy for the black looter taking down Gucci. Realistically speaking, if someone smashed opened the door of NASA - and I happened to be standing at the door, there is a 99% chance I would loot it for all its worth. I mean, I wonder what do white people actually do in there? They could be planning world domination through moon cheese for all I know (NASA fuckers not letting me in front door) OR get a six digit salary to spend all day polishing a nine foot optical lense with Q-tips? If its Q-tips, I'm jealous. If its Moon cheese, then its meh - I told you so.

    Being completely honest that is.

    BTW: Sounds like New York got the LA looter bug last night.

    Also: The theory that handbags made by elite stores of the USA are actually the skins of departed lizard royalty - comes about because the white system is so secretive and elitist that no one outside the box can figure out why a handbag costs $100,000.

    I'd be willing to bet 50% of the USA black population does not know what a MRI medical device looks like (without googling it)

    You all seeing this “Blackout Tuesday” nonsense now?

    Society is straight up embarrassing with the virtue signalling bullshit these days.

    Apparently my Apple Music won’t suggest any music for me that isn’t black all day, sad and pathetic pandering.

    That would be racist. He should appear in traditional African American garments though.

    I was unable to screen cap this yesterday so here is what Jonathan Toews wrote.

    https://www.instagram.com/tv/CA540rACGP4/

    A lot of people may claim these riots and acts of destruction are a terrible response. I’ll be the first to admit that as a white male that was also my first reaction.

    But who am I to tell someone that their pain is not real? Especially when it is at a boiling point and impossible to hold in anymore. It’s obviously coming from a place of truth. This reaction isn’t coming out of thin air.

    I’m not condoning or approving the looting, but are we really going to sit here and say that peaceful protesting is the only answer? There has been plenty of time for that, and if it was the answer we would’ve given it our full attention long ago.

    Listen to these two men debate. They are lost, they are in pain. They strived for a better future but as they get older they realize their efforts may be futile. They don’t know the answer of how to solve this problem for the next generation of black women and men. This breaks my heart.

    I can’t pretend for a second that I know what it feels like to walk in a black man’s shoes. However, seeing the video of George Floyd’s death and the violent reaction across the country moved me to tears. It has pushed me to think, how much pain are black people and other minorities really feeling? What have Native American people dealt with in both Canada and US? What is it really like to grow up in their world? Where am I ignorant about the privileges that I may have that others don’t?

    Compassion to me is at least trying to FEEL and UNDERSTAND what someone else is going through. For just a moment maybe I can try to see the world through their eyes. Covid has been rough but it has given us the opportunity to be much less preoccupied with our busy lives. We can no longer distract ourselves from the truth of what is going on.

    My message isn’t for black people and what they should do going forward. My message is to white people to open our eyes and our hearts. That’s the only choice we have, otherwise this will continue.

    Let’s choose to fight hate and fear with love and awareness. Ask not what can you do for me, but what can I do for you?
    Be the one to make the first move. In the end, love conquers all.

    Toews really missed an opportunity to set the record straight and let it be known that as a white man with some pocket change he is the most hated man in Chicago.

    Which white people is Toews referring to? All white people? Some white people? The racist white people?

    Celebrity platitudes haven't gotten us any farther along. Be specific if you are going to make recommendations.

    He plays professional hockey, so he's exempt.

    You have NO IDEA what it's like to skate in a white man's skates nowadays.
