This may be the most epic Racefail in the history of racefailing. The ingredients are one white UCLA student who has been taught about structural racism and knows all about white privilege… lecturing an older black LAPD cop about his false consciousness.

One young woman, who identified herself as a UCLA student and appeared to be white, demanded of the officer: “As a person of color, are you ashamed to be part of such a corrupt system?…As a black man, have you ever experienced racism?”

The officer answered that he had grown up in Jackson, Mississippi during the Jim Crow era. “I know racism. I can spot it,” he said.

She was not satisfied. “Do you accept that there are covert types of racism?” she asked, citing an example of a woman clutching her purse tightly when he entered an elevator. “Racism is a structure of power,” she insisted. “You are a black man. You are kept down by your race, even if you won’t accept it.”

He threw the challenge back at her. “Think about it. There are people who don’t like me–they don’t know me–because of my uniform. Is that discrimination or not? Yes or no?”

“That’s a bias,” she said. “Job discrimination is different. I’m talking about your race. The color of your skin…You’re a black man. You’ll never reach the same pinnacle as a white man in this system, because you are black.” Others, gathered nearby, applauded loudly.

The officer then asked the student what she did in her free time, noting that he tutored students in his community.

“Are you helping your black community out?” she demanded.



“It doesn’t matter what the race is,” he replied. “Yes it does!” the demonstrators shouted.

“So I should go to a school and volunteer with all African-American kids…but all the others–the Asian, the Hispanic kids–not help them out? That’s wrong,” he replied.

“Color is color,” she insisted.

On the one side you have a black cop who actually grew up experiencing racism. On the other you have a bunch of idiots in Anonymous masks and a community organizer/UCLA student who knows all about racism because she studied intersectionality.

The black police office argues for helping people regardless of their race while she tells him that he should only be helping black people.

You can hardly find a better example of liberal racism out there than this strange surreal exchange by the type of people who use “white people” as a punchline when they should be using it as a self-descriptor.

There is something creepy about this scene. All the hipsters raising expensive cameras to tape him, themselves. It’s like a pathetic leftist lynch mob surrounding one older black cop.

But they care so much… about black people.
