Twisty. First -
"White Privilege" in modern USA was never true.
If it were true, Whites wouldn't get shot by police - as happens often - & Senator Warren would never have lied that she was Indian. White kids wouldn't need to claim on applications, that they are actually Hispanic, mixed etc. As they do.
Since it was untrue, Renee Good gets shot like any White, Red, Yellow Black or Brown person gets shot who rams police.
Straightforward....... but now we must enter Twisty Lib World.
In Twisty Lib World, myth of White privilege is thought to be real, therefore, White police should not have touched Renee Good or Becca Good.
They counted on it. As libs, they figured "We have that White Privilege we hear about & it's time to use it against The System, The Man, who dare not touch us."
But no they got shot. To twisty libs, that proves The System or The Man has gone so crazy, he even shoots his own kind now - Whites - who will now see how crazy he is & leave Trump.
Where Joy Reid is coming from.
Former MSNBC host Joy Reid said that Renee Good was “supposed to be safe” from law enforcement because she had “white privilege,” and described her death as a “George Floyd moment” for anti-ICE protests.
“This woman was part of a group of people who they train to try to be ICE interrupters. And what they try to do is observe what ICE is doing, film them, and try to use their white privilege to be honest, they’re mainly white people, which is what we asked them to do, right?” Reid said. “Because black people… we can’t put our bodies on the line because cops will shoot us.”
“And so the presumption had been, particularly a white woman, because remember, part of the rationale for doing this with ICE is to save white women, ‘pristine white women,’ from being ravaged by ‘criminal brown men,’” Reid continued.
Just bonkers.
For 1 thing, ICE in Minnesota arrests illegal-immigrant drug traffickers, pimps, pedophiles & murderers. ICE protects USA peeps.
But if ur lib...... barmy Joy Reid represents u.
Non-lib model, "USA is race neutral" correctly predicts that police shoot Whites often, & sane Whites accept it if it's well provoked, like, Renee Good seemed about to murder police & sent one to hospital with internal bleeding.
Lib model, "USA is racist" is stunned when police shoot Whites - altho it happens often. Lib predictions get ever more wrong. Lib explanations get ever more twisty.
it did not go well for them, & they ragequit
They thought it OK, back then
