Sanity has prevailed!
Whiteness will be whining something tonight, but fuck that noise!
This is sound like another Whiteness stitch up.
What happened in the taxi beforehand IS relevant as things don't happen out of no where and this attack line of "what if the police officer were Black" is just a weird way of saying "racism is just about hurt feelings" when it's about history and context too.
Something the Prosecution wants the Jury to ignore.
this is such Bullshit.
A White Police officer in a White Majority nation cannot be a victim of racial abuse by calling him a "white bastard"
He IS a White Bastard, he's a cop.
You telling me a white make cop is a victim of harsh language from a non-white woman?
A #white person using a racial slur to refer to someone with dark skin is tapping into deeply held cultural ideas about racial hierarchy created by centuries of colonial exploitation. A dark skinned person calling someone ‘white’ is saying ‘you have NO IDEA what it is like to live in this body’.
In what way are these things equivalent?
