That may be this man's belief, but he's mistaken. Cops murder black/brown Americans at a disproportionate rate, but in absolute numbers, poor white folks catch the majority of State violence.
Oh. Did you not hear?
The whole point of white supremacy in the US is to prevent the white working class for talking to the black working class, and organize in their favor to gain any form of fairness or access to the value of their labor. Yeah poor white people LOVE white supremacy, even thought they know they are treated nearly as bad as black folks they know deep down, they at BETTER than them. Of course they'll fight against labor unions, universal healthcare, and social safety nets, it would make their lives FAR better, obviously, but then the black folks lives would be better too. And that's too far. So let them live on a stagnant wage for two generations, who cares, they are WHITE! They get to take credit for all white accomplishment! The white inventions! The white laws! The white everything! How wonderful! No need for improvements. Keep those low class burger flippers hungry!
Your skin doesn't have to be brown for the cops to decide they don't like you, but it helps.
I guess he thinks he's good.
