There is a lot of class conflict in this. In the upper class milieus where these statements are made, the white people have never been in a situation where violent crime is a reality.

For example, "the talk" supposed to be some kind of "black only" phenomenon. Really? I grew up in a working class immigrant neighborhood where everyone knew that you don't fuck with the cops. Even if you don't respect the badge, you respect the gun - just one mistake can cost you your life.

Reading Ayaan Hirsi Ali's new book "Prey." She went off. It's a shitposter's must read of the year.

She talks about this same concept of costless gestures in regard to elite PC culture resulting in the literal rape of lower income women.
