We released a primer on privilege at @FemFreq last week and this is a perfect albeit horrifying example. Can you rent an Airbnb without worrying the cops will be called on you? https://www-m.cnn.com/2018/05/07/us/airbnb-police-called-trnd/index.html …

This is good and all. But if you really want to help people of color, then work to revitalize poverty stricken inner city communities. Support positive black role models. And get good teachers in inner city schools.

demands'll get you so far. But true change happens when you are the change you ask for and others do the same.

Change happens. Not because you're whining or anything, but change is definitely coming.

Change is also very slow, like the evolution of species, the death of a star, even the growing of a tree. In the fight against racism, just remember that it took 245 years since the pilgrims to eradicate slavery, another 100 years for them to vote and sit in the same restaurant

My local police force has a staff of about 7 people dedicated to crimes on the internet. Most of that involves child porn cases. I can't speak for other departments, but my local department is under staff and under budget to hire people for internet crimes.

I mean you want to talk about who is unfairly targeted and demonized? Law enforcement themselves. I mean they aren't perfect. And many of them are assholes. But we need to include them in any effort of improving our communities. These people literally risk their lives for us

I'm not saying we should ignore the problem, or pretend that it isn't there. But we should put an appropriate amount of focus on it. Be careful how we shape our message. And think carefully how we seek to solve this problem.

I actually think that all this focus on racism and violence against POC probably goes further to make the problem worse. Speaking from personal experience. I would not be so concerned about any of this if people did not constantly feel the need to warn me about it.

Focusing on things like police brutality or white people that call cops is not the right way. It furthers the idea that white people are all racist (Like almost none of them are). And creates more distrust between races. We need to unite people not separate them.
