is a reflection of white maleness. But never thought of the white male ego massaged by the thoughts that entail your last paragraph. I mean they subjugated the First-americans and relegated them to 'reservations, kept women, until relatively recent times in 'their place', pregnant, barefoot and in the kitchen. Enslaved many a generation of Africans in enforced slavery, then in enforced segregation and then a lifetime of racism continuing to this day. The oligarchy of the American white male has perpetuated sexism, racism, all types of negative isms in the name of white male supremacy. Now exemplified by a yo-yo called trump the potus. A treasonous POS leading the GOPakaNPAakaWNP and revelling in the fact that he can grab a pussy anytime he feels like it, can stand in the middle of 5th Avenue, kill someone and no one would care. It just goes on and on. This white male dominance that has fucked up this country and now as Russia's tool, the world.

You succinctly describe just what it is that causes the poor white mass murderer, the killer cop, the zimmerman type citizen to be humanized always and an unarmed black person, alleged to have run afoul of the law as some kind of recidivist beast-animal-threat, man woman or child to be shot down like a dog in the streets with no accountability by the cop-citizen killer(s).

Thank you
