Be white.  It’s that simple.

I’ve spent a fair amount of time writing about the policing of black bodies.  It’s ugly, oppressive, devastating and detrimental to healthy communities, not to mention that it denigrates an entire race of people and is reminiscent of America’s history of trying to keep black folks in our place.

But enough about that.  Let’s talk about the policing of white bodies.  From my vantage point, it’s fascinating and devastating at once.

So, in no particular order, here’s a run-down of several real-life examples of how white people encounter the police:

Sarah Culhane committed three hit and runs, had several other traffic violations and assaulted police officers, and she will get a clean record.

Kevin Miner assaults police officers and breaks an officer’s hand.

This chick got in and out of her car dancing and ignoring police officer commands to put her hands up.

Need more?

How about eight more?

Policing white people?  It’s ugly, oppressive, devastating and detrimental to healthy communities, not to mention that it denigrates an entire race of people and is reminiscent of America’s history of trying to keep black folks in our place.

White or black bodies.  Cops in America send a message to black folks.  And it’s loud and clear.
