Its because of their privileged. The person is white and a man, which is the "superior" combination. Not only that when a white man commits a crime the media always tries to paint him as not dangerous, mental health issues, misunderstanding, which is the complete opposite of what happens to minorities especially black people.-Nevaeh]]> 2022-03-16 19:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098706030 https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098707763 He says this because he believes that some white people believe that they could do whatever they want or they feel like they are better than certain people. This relates to privilege because when a white man is angry he can get away with things that someone that belongs to a minority group couldn't. -Daniel]]> 2022-03-16 19:30:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098707763 They are less expected as a "threat" and because of this more people let things slide because they are not usually associated with violence such as the black male is. This relates to privilege because people are let off and rules dont seem as strict when it comes to a white man such as in this case with Kyle.- Osvaldo https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098708851 2022-03-16 19:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098708851 https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098710295 The author argues this because now we have social media. This is a very interesting way of getting a message across without having ti actually say it. It is also good to get a message across with a double meaning. This helps people like politicians say something without having to receive the backlash of saying in.-Nevaeh]]> 2022-03-16 19:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098710295 What steps can be taken to prevent people from seeing any certain race as scary?-Osvaldo https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098710790 2022-03-16 19:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098710790 https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098711443 The author claims that "the angry white man...poses the most dangerous threat to democracy in America" because of the privilege that being male and white starts you out at. The racial stereotypes in America allow for white people to be more ambitious and outspoken as compared to a person of color when in the presence of authority that is unjust. The media may change the words in a title of a story or in the sentences of an article in order to paint a picture that fits what they want people to think. -alec]]> 2022-03-16 19:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098711443 CB https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098711648 The author argues that "our politics are becoming more menacing" because both sides of politics think that the other half is thinking immoral. There will never be 100% of a side to be true. there will always be someone who thinks the rest is immoral and/ or wrong. People are just getting so offensive and defensive in politics. Like the image above shows, people like to force everyone into thinking like they do but when they don't get their way, that is how they get. They don't let other people have their own opinion because they are obsessed with the idea that they are right and everyone going against them is wrong. Like you have your opinion I get that, let me have mine.

While other people belonging to a minority are not as dangerous as an angry white man is because while their actions can still be harmful, they will undoubtedly face the consequences of them. However, because of racial discrimination and privilege, white men have no consequences to be afraid of giving them more justification for their harmful actions. ]]> 2022-03-16 19:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098715361 https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098715681 The author claims that our politics is getting more menacing because of all the violent rhetoric's being said and posted. For example in the article, Republican Rep. Paul Gosar posted a photoshopped video on social media of him attacking President Joe Biden and him killing AOC. Both political sides think that the other side is immoral and wrong. People are getting offended or upset when others don't agree with their political views. And because of this people feel they need to defend their opinions so rashly and violently. People are allowed to believe what they believe, there is no reason why politics should become so violent and menacing. -Jadesola]]> 2022-03-16 19:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098715681 https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098716177 The author argues that our politics are becoming increasingly menacing because of the power that the media today holds. Any influential figure can express their views however twisted or wrong on social media and receive a wave of supporters no matter how odd what they say may be. Many people today simply follow the figurehead instead of sitting down to really think about what the people they follow are doing and many people don't ever get the full picture and research topics themselves, so they just take the paraphrase from their political party leader and lock it in their hearts to follow blindly. This is very dangerous and has always been part of the political battlefield, but today it gets worse on our society because of the growing influence of media and how much media we consume. -alec]]> 2022-03-16 19:36:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098716177 Téa Ballew teab59174 https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098717056 What can we do to the justice and law system so that the consequences of these harmful actions no matter the race are justified?]]> 2022-03-16 19:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098717056 Christian Manjarrez https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098717618 Politics are becoming more menacing because people now think that violence is a way to catch people's attention.]]> 2022-03-16 19:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098717618 https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098718085 How can we weed out the bad apples that have major influence in our society?

White men are seen as less of a threat and are less subject to being killed for walking down the street. This relates to privilege because people with darker skin colors can't do the simplest things without the fear of being another statistic.]]> 2022-03-16 19:38:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098718775 why are some people today becoming less open-minded? -AP https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098719637 2022-03-16 19:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098719637 CB https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098719955 How did this author grow up?

If white men keep getting away with the bad things they are doing then they will continue to do them because there is no punishment for them. - Erick]]> 2022-03-16 19:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098720140 Adelyn McNeill https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098720398 The author claims that "the angry white man poses the most dangerous threat to democracy" because of the numerous cases of white men being excused for their unnecessary violence. For example, Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty, even though he shot 3 unarmed people. This relates to privilege because Rittenhouse was obviously benefited in this case due to the fact that he's a young white boy. ]]> 2022-03-16 19:40:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098720398 How can i as a White person use my privilege not only to support POC but also defend them and educate other White people. -Andy https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098720779 2022-03-16 19:40:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098720779 Xander https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098721276 Why do the white supremacist kill innocent people of color ?]]> 2022-03-16 19:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098721276 Author claims that our politics are becoming more menacing because the fact that they can get away with anything and their first response is to use their guns when it comes to arguing anything about politics. - Daisy https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098721285 2022-03-16 19:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098721285 https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098721577 How can we make the justice system for fair for everyone and give people who are at a systemic disadvantage a fair chance?]]> 2022-03-16 19:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098721577 https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098721860 The author claims this because as we've seen throughout history that white men can get away with many more things than others do. Throughout media, it's been installed in most to fear black men because when they get in trouble all their flaws get on the news but when a white male gets in trouble they only talk about the good things they do due to privilege. So while innocent people get gunned down, unarmed, the angry white men can wake free after taking the lives of people because it was considered "self-defense". That's privilege. -Logan]]> 2022-03-16 19:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098721860 https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098722002 "the angry white man...poses the most dangerous threat to democracy in America" is the stereotypical white man that complains and feels like he's entitled to whatever he wants, imagine that stereotype spread out across the U.S. There have incidents escalating in the past years and whenever its something racial related with a white guy involved, that white man usually comes out on top.]]> 2022-03-16 19:41:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098722002 Adelyn McNeill https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098722209 Why are there multiple instances of political leaders encouraging their followers to resort to violence? ]]> 2022-03-16 19:41:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098722209 https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098722850 Why is it so hard for white people to accept the people of color? - Erick]]> 2022-03-16 19:41:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098722850 https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098724260 Why is it so hard for people to not racially profile people?

- Jadesola]]> 2022-03-16 19:43:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098724945 https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098736663 The author claims that "the angry white man poses the most dangerous threat to democracy in America" because they are to be believed to be the cause of many countries' downfalls (slavery, slaughter of Native Americans, and Jim Crow laws). They always seemed to get away from the crimes that they committed on their own. This relates to privilege because being "white" and being a "man" in the media world means that they are superior. In the media, they always come up with excuses for white people when black people are being misunderstood and black men are being called more dangerous than white men. This makes me feel that white people have more privileges than black people because black people in the social media world are known to be called out for being criminals or should be locked up because of their race. -Yukir]]> 2022-03-16 19:52:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098736663 https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098737027 he claims this because a trend is starting to emerge that angry white men feel like they can can do or say anything and not face repercussions for their actions.-Karl]]> 2022-03-16 19:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098737027 https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098753537 how do people allow the people around them to have such a close mind-karlito]]> 2022-03-16 20:07:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kkawasakiwilliams/smjp515poi0w6m5q/wish/2098753537
