White people feel like they shouldn't have to pay a price for their crimes

 And are always about letting one another get off scot free unless they're if a different political persuasion. For instance, you think you and those alongside you don't deserve hard punishment even though you traumatized, injured, and killed people and invaded a federal building and elected representatives because you were fighting for a 'noble' and urgent cause, but you want people of color punished for lesser crimes even though they believe their cause is just as noble and urgent. It has always been that way. White people have always characterized black people as violent or criminals but excuse themselves for the propensity for not just violence but for subjugation entire races, cultures, and countries and committing crimes against humanity worldwide. They are the school shooters, the serial killers, the bombers of public spaces,the harmers of masses of innocent people just to make a statement. That's as white as white can be. Anything white people do is okay, anything others do is a punishable offense. And when white people are made to face the facts of their dirty dealings and inhumanity, they can't take it. They want to distort and whitewash it, want people to not talk about it, try to rewrite history to make themselves look better.
