I think white privilege was a factor in the Oxford shooting.

Can you imagine the difference in how the shooter would have been treated if he'd been Black?

Threatening violence, researching weapons, etc.?

He would have been cuffed & strip-searched in the classroom before being expelled.

Turns out there's a dark side to white privilege, even for white kids....

There are tools other than hammers sometimes, more precise and capable for the tasks at hand.
