The reality that African-American and other minorities must realize is that depending on the time of day, or the mood of the officer you encounter, you could end up justifiably shot by the police. If not shot, then you might get roughed up a little bit and sent on your way. If that happens consider yourself lucky because it could have been much worse. With the worldwide attention being paid to the recent events in Ferguson and little to none being paid to the other instances that have happened before and after it, it’s time to give a guideline, or lifeline if you will to the people who need it the most.

That the author of the article in question was able to write it to completion and publish it so underscores that which he seeks to highlight as fallacy that it's difficult to believe that we have not just been collectively trolled.

Princeton doesn't offer Cognitive Dissonance as a major, and yet MAJOR cognitive dissonance is the only possible well from which such denial and self-aggrandizement could spring. As such, the targets of the author's assessments need not be considered because his entire argument is false, and delusional.

Saint Xavier University sociology professor Jacqueline Battalora asserts that Tal Fortgang's essay simply highlights the fact that many people do not truly understand the nature of privilege, and that he should not be demonized for his views. God bless her.

The minds that authored the following counterpoints hold no such view, for they accept that you can not teach one who has no interest in learning. The snide tone of the essay, with its light dusting of right-wing political views, makes it very obvious that Mr. Fortgang has no interest in taking honest stock of the subject. No, he is just, as many post 2012 election white males, ready to cancel his subscription to white guilt. And as evidenced by the digital back-patting and reposting of the dreck in question, there's never been a better time.
