    I was immediately touched by this article written by an ex-cop who explains the reason the cancer persists. It is an important read from the perspective of a police officer who admits what most of us should know. Please read and share. It is important.

    Now that wasn't so painful ... was it?

    Since "white privilege" is a neo-Marxist myth based off a bad essay written in 1987, this isn't worth reading.

    How about some nice fairy tales instead?

    White cops are less likely to kill blacks than are black cops from the same city.

    Additionally, after adjusting for general homicide rates, whites are more likely to be killed by police than are blacks.

    White privilege.

    So you profit off the backs of others? That should be illegal.

    Been to Cabo, it was OK, but I prefer cruises. I like to see more than one thing and I really enjoy the stress free sailing with everything I could ever need no more than 5 minutes away.

    But you didnt actually do the work. You simply stole the work of others and profitted from it.

    It is painful when the most 'privileged' people in America today are not white.

    I am brown toned rather than White but I, too, have never seen this mythical White Privilege that leftists talk about. On the other hand I have seen countless acts of leftists being race-baiters and race-agitators and hating on this nation. Weird, eh?

    How so? A patented item created by your employee would be patented by the company, not the individual that actually designed the item.

    not much, just basics from work, where any tool or item I design that leads to a patent is patented by my employer and I have no standing to patent by myself.

    That's not education, that's neo-Marxism from a crass con man.

    Racism cuts both ways. Some cops are racists, including black cops.

    Hope you now feel better.

    So, a white man and a black man had the same privileges in let's say the 1950's ? They could use the same bathrooms and eat anywhere they wanted the same, or did one have more privilege to do so than the other? Myth my azz!!!
