In the past week, there have been numerous stories about the abuse and waste of police resources on nonsensical issues.
The story goes like this. Person A ( White ) sees person(s) (Black) enjoying them self in a non-threatening and overall pleasant manner. Person A calls the police to "whiten" this whole situation up because they feel threatened. Ironically, if I had a dollar for every time I'd call the police because someone with a Confederate flag bumper sticker drove past, I would still have 0 dollars. Partially because I have more sense than to waste someone's time but also I don't have time for their stupidity.
The scenario would be far different if a minority called the police because they saw white people in a park. Using the Oakland woman's logic, it's safe to assume that the group of white people might be a neo-nazi gathering. When the scenario is presented this way, the end logic is that its wrong to discriminate and a bunch of possibilities they would be in a park. Why is it when minorities feel threatened, we're overreacting or paranoid; but when it comes to white people then there is a probable cause to their claims. This is a rhetorical question.
With the incident at Yale, how can you say the other student doesn't belong in her own dorm? Especially when you've seen her one documented other time in that semester. Also as a graduate student at a prestigious university, there is good reason to believe that your ass is tired. My school is like 100 levels below an Ivy League school and there are times I just want to pass out in a dark corner. Its safe to assume that the white student has slept somewhere she "wasn't supposed to" at any point during her schooling.
The world is turning into a storyline of Dear White People and much like the show it can be amusing, frustrating and just sad. But unlike the show, we don't have time to waste on calling the cops for stupid stuff. We're too busy graduating college, becoming professionals and living life the best we can. We do our best to not let your whiteness affect our lives, so don't let my blackness affect yours.
