Yes, exactly.  That describes Democratswhite America perfectly.

Fixed it for you.

I don't know.  Not everybody who is white in America is as messed up as Warren.

... but that's still where the fault lies.  The argument that folks like us have been protected by white privilege tends to rankle, but it's still true.  I don't know about you, but I've never felt hopeless when dealing with law enforcement.  Even my one interrogation session with the FBI (back in the Vietnam protest days) was handled on a civil basis. I was grilled but never threatened in any way.  Would that have been true if I was black?  I honestly don't know.

I nave never felt so threatened.  My tennant?  There are bad cops that have faults other than racism, but your point is true enough.  I must admit the general law allowing other cops to be charged if they did not act against the bad deed and report the bad deed would have helped my tennant too.
