Stunning (if misspelled) commentary from a bit of graffiti: “Violence is white privelege”


From defaced:



“Violence,” Burn Notice poster, location unknown, NYC



I wasn’t going to reblog this at first. The more I think about it, the more I realize it’s true.  In western society violence by whites is almost always defended.  I’m sure if more folks of African, Asian, or Hispanic descent were allowed into leadership positions their violence would be more likely to be defended, too.  Just look at Obama.


Then again, maybe “whiteness” has less to do with ethnicity and more to do with one’s cultural mindset.


Hm, that’s a good topic for the next 666cast!
