Y’all know @ShaunKing is white right?
I know a black man in prison right now for “trashing a convenience store.” What’s clear is that if you do so out of anger and pain because of injustice in America, it’s a horrible crime, but if you do it out of a function of white privilege it’s a celebration.https://twitter.com/ap_sports/status/960485289637511169 …

He could be purple with pink polka dots for all I care...when you’re right, you’re right
-
But is he right? Do you think it doesn’t matter that he acts like a black man?
-
I don’t think he’s acting like any color. He’s acting like a good human being, by educating people and telling the truth about how society is. Respectfully, that is what I think.
-
this was good for a laugh. Because acting like a particular race to fuel a certain agenda and generate profit is acceptable? Very little of what he says is fact based but it is put out to be inflammatory. - 1 more reply

What’s clear is that it’s all a crime. Arrests were made in Philly.
-
3. 3 arrests.
-
Yes and 6 at UMass. Point?

320+ in Ferguson 100+ in Vancouver If you still don't get "the point" about the disparity in enforcement & coverage in the U.S. you're being willfully obtuse.

I don’t agree with the comparison here or the assumption of white privilege wrt Philly. Those who’s intent was to destroy, if caught, were arrested. Believe it or not, Philly was not a riot. Can’t say that about your examples.
-
After consideration I want to clarify that I do agree that cops appear to “Cherry-pick” and that overall group intent does play a role in this. It is hard for me to see an event that is overwhelmingly positive for my city though and have this be the takeaway.
-
In sum, there was a lot of love in this city Sunday. To have a negative response or this take on such a mainly joyous event ... I can’t understand that.

I thought the exact same thing when I saw them turning cars over. If they were POC, it would be a whole different story.

I'll never understand trashing your OWN city to celebrate a football team winning a game. It's a GAME. No one's lives are affected except those paid MILLIONS to play it. Why do we worship those that play a game? It's pathetic, really.

The evening news referred to the group of young white men turning a car over as 'knuckleheads' (said in a boys-will-be-boys tone). Fires were set, multiple store front windows broken, & a 'food fight' in a store where merchandise was trashed. Different scenario if they were POC.
