[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can’t be in your bedroom at 2:30 am, make a move with the light in, without having a police officer shoot you dead through the window. Texas. [/quote]
Note to blacks:  [b]Never ever leave your front door ajar. [/b]Due to potential of murder by police. See, Atatiana Jefferson. See, also, Botham Jean. [/quote]

My white friends lives in a rural area in Northern CA.  She told me that one time there was a knock on their front door, which was open and (obviously) unlocked.  It was a cop. He'd been driving by, and saw that their car door was open, so he just wanted to check that everything was okay.  She has three kids who are in and out all the time, and the car door being open was a mistake. The front door being unlocked is just ... how they live.

She was like "We had a good laugh about it...." and I just stared at her. [/quote]

An example of unrecognized privilege.  This could have ended differently for a black/brown/Muslim/etc. family.[/quote]
