Thank you Lord for my privilege

[Strike 5,542]

I was stopped by a cop today on my way home from the airport.  I had found this cool little back way to the airport where I fly, but it's a 25 MPH speed limit.  Very easy to go faster, 35-40 MPH.  I didn't notice him behind me until it was too late.  His lights came on and I pulled in to a business parking lot.  Put the car in park, open the window, hands on steering wheel, and wait for him to come, hoping he won't just pull out his gun and shoot me as so many on this forum have conditioned me to expect.  He was very polite and explained why he pulled me over.  He explained that the road is a little windy.  He asked for my DL, registration, and proof of insurance.  He went back to his vehicle and came back a few minutes later.  He gave me a written warning, asked me to keep the speed down, and wished me a good day.  i dd the same to him.  Thank God for my privilege.

So your Asian privilege is why you drove like sh!t and your white privilege got you a warning, nice.

After being pulled over multiple times over the last 20 years, All stupid things where  the police are looking for something more. I've only received one ticket for an expired registration. Cost me $60. 

I've had one speeding ticket in my life. That's about it. And I'm loving it.

Cops probably figured letting you go was the fastest way to get away from you.

Are we not brothers in Christ? I have experienced several miracles in my life and know someone is watching over me. Or is this something else that you preach and not practice?

I don’t think privilege had anything to do with it…. You pulled over immediately in a safe place and did what you were supposed to do and was respectful to the police officer…

I love when no life experience losers actually say that black people never get a break from the cops. If cops in the urban shittholes controlled by democrats weren’t giving out breaks left and right there would be no cops on patrol an hour into their tour.

Then you still have a lot of Bible learning you need to do. 

Mark 3:31-35

New International Version

31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”

33 “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.

34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”

Don’t know your walk, until I do,, you’re not my brother.  To many people use the term brother, like it makes us as one, if I don’t know you, if I don’t know if you walk with evil or good, you’re not my brother.  Fool. To call someone brother, or sister is also accepting their evil ways, I don’t use the term bother or sister unless I know for sure what team you’re on, and on this board, I stand with the Savior, and from what I’ve seen I stand with him alone.   I don’t shake hands or give one any honor unless you walk with the Lord, and until I know that, not my brother. Like it says in verse 34 and 35 but it’s interesting how you can post verses , but I cannot    Mmm  another attack on a Christian

I never said or insinuated you cannot post scripture. I'm calling you out for calling him fool. I didn't attack you either. It's criticism, not an attack.

Well there is this.

In the Bible, Jesus warns against calling someone a fool in

Matthew 5:22:

"But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire." 

Understanding the context

This verse is part of Jesus' teaching on the Sermon on the Mount, which expands on the Sixth Commandment, "You shall not murder". Jesus stresses that anger, contemptuous words, and demeaning another person's worth are serious matters that go beyond outward actions and address the condition of the heart.

Mm, you might want to check out how many times the Savior called someone a fool. Five times, and the word fool appears 99 times.

Have a great night Wee. Yes I know he referred to non believers that way.We shouldn't call anyone fools and lost is more appropriate if we need to call anyone anything.

[RLLD 4,230]

Next time.....try getting really loud and obnoxious.  And you have to repeat at least 15 times in a row...."why you poool me ovah four??"

And of course when asked for license and registration pretend you dont have to provide it, if asked to get out of the vehicle.....refuse....and if arrested, always take a swing...

I've maintained for years that middle-aged white men in late model vehicles are practically cop-proof as long as they're not doing something ridiculously stupid. I drive accordingly.

Now that you've had a taste, don't let it go to your head. White male privilege does not exempt you from effects of other stupid drivers or mother nature, unfortunately.

As I said earlier, I’m not sure what @Strike’s point is here since we don’t know what the outcome would have been if he were black.  We can probably agree that he wouldn’t have gotten shot, so maybe that was his point?  But we don’t know if he wouldn’t have gotten a ticket.

Thinks cops are pulling over middle aged black guys in late model vehicles that aren’t doing anything stupid.
