Criming while white: White people confess to crimes they got away with

A day after the police officer who killed Eric Garner (a black man) in a choke hold was cleared by a grand jury, white people used Twitter to highlight police racial bias in the US...confessing to crimes they committed that police let them get away with. This is in protest of police brutality on blacks in America. They used the hashtag #‎crimingwhilewhite and it's been trending since yesterday.

Jason Ross, a writer for The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon first tweeted his own experience and called on others to share their stories. You won't believe some of the things white people get away with. Find some confessions after the cut..

    2. This is really sad! The blacks shud not let this weaken their fight, awakeness and desire to fight against this long-standing inequality. Cos the whites can secretly or indirectly mobilize their people to do this so the blacks can think they are not alone in the struggle and gradually put them back to their slumber.
      This fight must continue. Like one black woman said, the black community are still suffering this injustice cos they put their foot off the pedal. The fight shud have continued but thank God they're all back to their senses

    2. I jus think d whites esp d white officers feel intimidated n scared wn around blacks cos they know we strong n rugged. So they kinda feel d nid to be extra armed n defensive wn around dm,u knw hw chicken livered whites r. And again, I dnt like whites but I hate blacks too. We complain about whites wn we evn discriminate amongst ouselves, evn d black Americans look down on Africans n Africa, imagine dt ashanti's sis callin dose ivorians smelly. So let's not b hypocrites. I'm black n I hate Blacks n black mentality. Evn here in d US I'm friends wit Asians n whites n stay away from blacks cos we full of hate,we diss each odr n try to bring each odr dwn so WHATEVER!!

    3. Exactly. This is why I love Nigeria still. Despite the insecurity, boko haram, corruption and utter rottenness. It's still home. Here I'm freer than i'll ever be in any fucked foreign land. And I hate the fact that white people come here and get treated like demi-gods while they treat blacks like shit there! How I wish they could get a taste of their own racist medicine anytime they travel to an African country. Let them be afraid for their lives when they step out in the streets. Let them worry about being arrested or shot for no goddamn reason but just because they're white. Let them not be able to get jobs and let them be the recipients of dirty and suspicious looks from black people who hate their guts! Let's see if they Can survive for a day in the shoes of black people! Let them know what it feels like to be hated just for their skin color! I'm so pissed!!

  7. Judging rightly is what every country must embrace.. Be it son of the president,king,pastor and the likes. America should judge rightly,the black should do same, then libers too should follow suit! Start with/from your home. It is well. Matt 7:5. BishopDammy#

  32. D level of racism from the white folks is on the high side, dis is grossly unfair to us blacks. We are gone past the era of slavery so why can't they just change their mentality of brutality to the Black's, its happening in the UK, USA n a lot of other countries dominated by whites, dey just see us as some piece of shit, criminals, gold diggers n all "I don't know if Africans carry a tag on their foreheads with this inscriptions"..... I stand to be corrected. If d reverse is the case then something has to be done to put a lasting stop to it, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH #BlacksinDiaspora#

  55. The injustice based on one's colour of skin particularly the 'blacks' is just too hard to ignore and swallow largely because of the stereotypical image 'they' have of coloured people...The world over. How do we disprove this image? My tots...I keep saying on our own part...let's prove them wrong by NOT being whatever image they have of us. By keeping a clean life....say no to violence, drugs, crime....be educated ....and so on. God help us! #Imblackandproud

  62. If white americans want to live in peace, they should stop racism, bias, discrimination, and unjust acts. The Creator who created us did that not to discriminate ourselves but to know one another. Supposing if white is created black, will he/she need to be recist?

  85. My brother in college in texas took a ride with his white roommate to class. He had his seat belt on, but the driver, his room mate didn't. They got pulled over by the police who, hand cuffed my brother immediately, despite the fact that he committed no crime. It was even the driver that didnt have his seat belt on, which is a known punishable offence there. Nothing was done to the white room mate. My people, racism is still very strong in america o!!!

  89. Racism can end but it will take something drastic to pull through.

    Case in point: look at the approach taken by MLK and the civil rights group with the birmingham protest, the black protesters took a stand in a non peaceful manner yet they were firehosed and beaten by police dogs. The result was a worldwide drastic change in perception and deep compasion towards the protesters as they saw that they were unfairly treated.

    Unfortunately, sometimes it takes such injustice and bullying to be shown on a public level for a racist mindset to begin to melt away.
