White privilege is killing 26 people and being the ‘quiet friendless boy’ meanwhile murdered brown people are undisciplined drug dealing thieves.

“Sono naturalizzato Italiano, ma di origini Ghanesi. Sono stato abbandonato da piccolo e adottato da due angeli. Soffro il razzismo ogni giorno. Sono il primo nero a indossare la maglia dell’Italia. Non sono arrabbiato, ma è solo che le esperienze che ho vissuto mi fanno agire in modo diverso da altre persone. Quindi, prova a imparare come sono prima di criticarmi. Io comunque mi sento italiano, amo l’Italia e giocherò sempre per la Nazionale Italiana.” Mario Balotelli.
“I am a naturalized Italian, but I’m from Ghana. I was abandoned by my parents when I was child and adopted by two angels. I suffer with racism everyday. I am the first black to wear Italian shirt. I’m not angry, but my life experiences make me act differently from other people. Then, try to learn more about me before you criticize me. I feel Italian, only Italian, I love Italy and I will play only with Italian shirt.” Mario Balotelli.

After we stripped the dead suspect and tested him for drug and alcohol use and then dug under his finger and toe nails for any incriminating DNA, we checked his blood-soaked clothes for any kind of evidence of wrong doing. All we found was 34 cents and a couple of baseball cards. …
That’s it? Gretchen Carlson asked dismayed.
Seems to me that something was obviously missing: why wasn’t there a receipt for the pop and candy? …
We at the Sanford Police Department asked the exact same question, Gretchen, Chief Bill Lee explained.
We concluded that the suspect must have stolen the candy and tea, and in my mind that bolstered Mr. Zimmerman’s self-defense claim.

Gretchen Carlson and Chief Bill Lee explaining their justifications for Zimmerman’s actions
I think I’m done with this case now. I’m washing my hands of it, because justice isn’t being served. Zimmerman wasn’t detained, he’s gone missing, Trayvon’s been completely dehumanized (stripped, tested for drugs/alcohol and violated for incriminating DNA while the killer roams free??) and apparently, he’s the suspect now.

Good to know I should keep all of my receipts forever to prove I didn’t steal something after I’m murdered. I guess we aren’t allowed to refuse or toss receipts that we know we won’t need.

I remember when the unibomber was around and the media told all white guys not to wear hoodies because they might look suspicious. Oh that’s right, that never happened.
Yup.
Andrew asked: Yo this is possibly one of the most racist things I’ve ever heard.
I have nothing to add to this, other than this dude is one of the best storytellers I have ever seen.
