17-Year Old Steals $39,000 From Walmart
article by Dr. Sinclair Grey III
This is sad, but very funny. Off the bat , I know he is a good looking white boy. What he did was obvious, and simple because he took advantage of the assumptions of supremacy. At 17 he already internalized the deep sense of his white supremacy and the supremacy of being a white male. It is tool to a thinking white person that will work for the good or the bad outcome.
I burst out laughing for awhile reading this story. As is said in the streets, "That's some funny shit." Couldn't help it because those presumptions are deeply ingrained in the minds of white Americans and other Americans, too! From the top government agencies down to the rank and file that ploy is more likely than not going to work on most people.
I thought about the white men who tricked the CIA and hurt National Security in exactly the same way. It goes back to the adage I grew up hearing from all sides, "White is right..." and other familiar phrases along the same lines.
I remember a white man who worked in the same building as I, who came to work one day baffled because he tried to pursue a Black man in an expensive suit, who was lifting people's purses and wallets. The Black thief's trick was the illusion of style and the manipulation of image! My white friend was miffed and befuddled because the police took him down to the ground because the assumption was a Black man in an expensive tailored suit chased by a white man in jeans had to be protected.
It is a game played knowing full well that whomever controls the images controls the mind, and whoever controls the mind has nothing to fear from the body. I learned this in college from a rich white man who admired my fearless pursuit of knowledge about the assumptions of white supremacy. I've had quite a life and today quite a laugh. - Gregory E.
