The Beginning Of The End For Killer-Cop Privilege: "#CrimingWhileWhite"


  Dear Fred,

The refusal of New York City's Grand Jury to indict Eric Garner's killer may be "the straw that breaks the camel's back."

"Cops Kill Eric Garner For Selling Cigarettes"


While an event is unfolding, it is "impossible" to say if its eventual impact will be trivial or epochal. 

This much we know: "#CrimingWhileWhite" does a stellar job subverting white privilege.

"#CrimingWhileWhite" Tweets Provide Window Into White Privilege

Here is my personal contribution to CrimingWhileWhite:

"After Getting Mugged In 1971, The Police Pressured Me To Give False Testimony Against A Black Man"


Conservative fondness for falsehood -- and rhetorical flourishes stitched together from shards of shattered context -- are more laughable by the day.

"Caucasians Think Discrimination AgainstWhites Is A Bigger Problem Than Bias Against Blacks"

"U.S. Murder Rate On Track To Be Lowest In A Century"

"There's Never Been A Safer Time For Cops Nor A More Dangerous Time For Criminals"

"Bad Black People." Why Bill O'Reilly Is Wrong Even When He's Right

Pax tecum

Alan
