“We’ve seen white suspects doing all kinds of stuff.”
by Paul Bois
According to America’s top philosopher on racial matters, Whoopi Goldberg, people show a “slight bit of ignorance” when they say “White Lives Matter.”
After being asked by her co-worker if saying “White Lives Matter” in response to the terrorist organization “Black Lives Matter” constitutes an “insensitivity” to the black community, Whoopi deployed the usual talking points, saying that people already know “white lives matter,” but need to be reminded that “black lives matter” too, because in her mind, white people are just so racist that they don’t already know that black lives matter.
Here’s what it shows to me, a slight bit of ignorance, because it’s not about—we know white lives matter, we know it. We’ve seen it. We’ve seen white suspects doing all kinds of stuff with guns and we don’t see them get shot instantaneously, but we do see—we have seen, we have seen a guy in an open carry state saying to the police officer I have one, and he gets shot anyway. So there is a disconnect for us. We know white lives matter, we know this. We’ve always known it.
The former Academy Award winner continued to drive home the point that “Black Lives Matter” reminds white people of their historical racism:
We just want to bring up the fact that due to the kinds of racism that we’ve had to deal with in this country that’s been institutional racism forever, for as long as lots of people can remember, you know, because we live with that, we need to remind people, ‘Yeah, no, it’s not okay to do this.’ Nobody is okay in this country with any of us being shot for no reason. The police are not okay with it. We as Americans are not okay with it. We’re not okay, and that’s what we need to say. We have to hold everyone accountable, even when it’s not comfortable. Whether it’s a black cop or a white cop, we have to hold people accountable.
By holding people accountable, Whoopi Goldberg made no mention BLM activists openly chanting for the death of police, who have even gone so far to celebrate their executions on social media.
