AFAIK none of my 1st- or 2nd-deg adult relatives (all but one White) have a criminal conviction. But I DO know of at least 5 who had contact w/ #CriminalJustice that #HadTheyBeenBlack would've put them in jail/prison.

THAT is #WhitePrivilege

One uncle, in 3 separate instances:

1. Shot out several street lights for fun.

2. Cut hole in floor under vending machine, from the basement below, & stole the cash.

3. Created fake DL's so underage friends could drink.

Caught 3x. No lasting consequences.
