I'm beginning to, but a white elderly woman with dementia just had her arm broken by a white cop who went after her after she left a Walmart. His excuse was she had attempted to shoplift about $14 of goods, then had removed her mask when confronted by the store employees. She weighed less than 100 lbs. She's now in a supervised living facility and receiving medical care, the cop is being dealt with, and the family is suing. I'm thinking white privelege doesn't extend to the elderly, frail or demented. It could have been so much worse, though, if she'd been black.

My question to you, though, is what do we do about it?
