Public school principal tells parents to 'reflect' on 'whiteness,' includes chart
-
If you think of society as a body of water, an incident like George Floyd’s death is like a meteor hitting it.
The part I don’t understand is, you take the white guy in Texas several years back who was killed by police in the same manner as George Floyd.
Where was the outrage?
Why didn’t it get media attention?
Where were the riots and looting?
Is his life any less important than George Floyd?
The only difference was he was a white guy.

Those are all questions that sort of boil down to something that this chart is driving at. Why are we different? What is so different between being black or white?
I don’t really have those answers. Like most of us l’m stuck with my own life experiences and perspective that comes with that. I’m pretty well convinced there are differences though, and you can pick up nuggets of perspective here and there if you look for them.
It’s a process. There’s a whole lot l don’t understand, but l’m a curious dude who tries to figure stuff out.

Having served in the Army and Navy, and being stationed with blacks from 17 on I think I know more than some liberal fucking principal.

I didn’t mean to put you on the spot man. I just thought if you had something to help others understand something that’s hard to understand then any little bit of info helps.
