Substitute "morally repugnant and "deeply hypocritical" people for Otto when you yell what about in a thread discussing White Privilage in NK.

It's a reach and an attempt to expand the discussion about police murdering Blacks to a one size fits all. Police are murdering Blacks because they can get away with it. You are not taking a principled stand, you're covering up the original point with an exception is the rule argument. How many white kids did NK kill in the last three years ?

You mean connect it like this

"I’m a black woman
though. The hopeless fear Warmbier is now experiencing is my
daily reality living in a country where white men like him are
willfully oblivious to my suffering even as they are complicit
in maintaining the power structures which ensure their
supremacy at my expense. He is now an outsider at the mercy of
a government unfazed by his cries for help. I get it." - LaSha Standard

Nah she says more than that, she explains why he should have seen the danger of traveling to NK given his background.

You see what you want to see while you are pointing your finger at the author of the article and those who agree with it.

You are giving a pass to those who say, agreeing with the author of this article, saying Black lives matter, holding police accountable is reverse racism. The argument against police murdering blacks is solid whether you agree with the article about white privilege in NK or not. A strong moral argument is not required to say Blacks should not be murdered.

His Father putting the blame on Kerry and Obama admin when it should really be on NK.

You think he wants people to blame him?

Do you like the alt right troll on this board ?

That does not answer the question.

Are they white kids from the US

That does not answer the question. You said this article about White Privilege in the NK is misguided cruel, hateful and anyone who claps to it is morally repugnant and deeply hypocritical, so I'm asking where is the same number of white kids killed by the NK state that we see with Blacks killed by police ?
