“One of the most pervasive examples of this kind of blindness is one that I haven't seen mentioned explicitly. I'm going to call it orthodox privilege: The more conventional-minded someone is, the more it seems to them that it's safe for everyone to express their opinions.
It's safe for them to express their opinions, because the source of their opinions is whatever it's currently acceptable to believe. So it seems to them that it must be safe for everyone. They literally can't imagine a true statement that would get them in trouble.” –Paul Graham
I don't know why the media never publicize a "Don't resist arrest" message.
But I do know that it benefits them financially not to do so. Some black people might listen to that message. Then no shooting, no subsequent riots, no months of monster click numbers for CNN.
"Pervasive antiwhite antagonism is perhaps the best-kept secret about black inner-city culture." –Heather Mac Donald, The War on Cops
