"Today in White Privilege..."



Watch this and wait for the punchline. He said, in shock and desperation “You’re treating me like a fucking Black person.”

Think on that for a moment. With all of this going on, that’s what came to his mind. Police brutality, to him, is something reserved for Black folk.

Except I am still surprised. Every time.
