Florida school shooting survivor David Hogg urges others to 'use white privilege' to ensure gun violence in 'black community' is heard
Student survivors of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School have said they have to use their “white privilege” to make sure that the stories of other students across the country who experience gun violence are also heard.
During a live-stream interview on Twitter with his classmates, activist David Hogg — a student in Parkland, Florida — said that there was a disparity in the way that news media covers gun violence, and that he felt compelled to speak up about that using his platform.
“There is a lot of racial disparity in the way that this is covered,” Mr Hogg said of last month's shooting. “If this happened in a place of lower socioeconomic status, or a....black community, no matter how well those people spoke, I don’t think the media would cover it the same.”
“And I think it’s important that we point that out as Americans and realise that. Because, we have to use our white privilege now to make sure that all of the voices that....all of the people that have died as a result of this and haven’t been covered the same can be heard,” he continued. “It’s sad, but true.”
The remarks come just days after other Parkland students visited their peers in the Chicago Public Schools system to brainstorm how to stage demonstrations for the March for Our Lives demonstration that will be held in the city this weekend.
In doing so, the students highlighted the high rates of gun violence in the city, which rarely get national media attention. There were 4,000 shooting victims in the city in 2016, contributing to a spike in homicides that year.
Sam Zeif, one of the students who visited Chicago, called it “heartbreaking to know they’ve been feeling this pain and fear for nearly their whole lives”.
Students are will participate in the March for our Lives demonstration Saturday in communities across the country, including in Chicago and in Washington. It is the latest demonstration since the Parkland shooting last month, when 17 students and faculty were killed by a man who opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle in the school, which is located in a relatively affluent community in Southern Florida.
We read about violence in the black community everyday. If you get murdered in the US whether black or white odds are it was a black American who murdered you statistically speaking!
ReplyDeleteI, being a white man in a predominately white neighborhood, am now utilizing my alleged "white privilege" to report that on this very date only 1 year ago, my white neighbor was almost the victim of a black man armed with a knife. I say 'almost' because my white neighbor managed to draw her gun and shoot the black gentleman in the leg and subsequently hold him until authorities arrived, 27 minutes after being notified via 911.

ReplyDeleteThis Hogg kid isn't who he says he is and he sure as hell isn't a Parkland HS survivor and neither is his female cousin Gonzales mouth piece who was a graduate of NYU some time ago.
ReplyDeleteAnyone with a functioning brain cell can see through this lame psy-op.
I totally agree with your comment!
DeleteHow's that gun control working for your "peeps" in Chicago there Hogg ?
ReplyDeleteAbout three weeks before the "shooting", the U.S. Secret Service dropped by and changed the security arrangements of the high school. An expert with decades of experience said that he had never even HEARD of the Secret Service changing a school’s security plan. (1) Some students heard that there would be a Code Red drill on the same day as the "shooting", with the police firing blanks, screaming and "victims" being carried away. What are the chances that someone would actually shoot-up the school on the same day?
ReplyDeleteFour or five different students have said on video that there was more than one shooter. One
girl said she was talking to the alleged shooter, Nicolas Cruz, whom she knew, as they were all leaving the building and that she heard shooting shortly afterwards from the other side of the building. One girl said she was hiding in a cabinet and saw two shooters go by in the hall. A third girl said emphatically that there were three shooters. A teacher said she saw a gunman 20 feet away wearing full SWAT-type body armor and a face mask. The shooting supposedly started about one minute after Cruz entered the building after leaving an UBER. The shooting lasted about six minutes. When did he have time to change in and out of a SWAT-like outfit that the teacher saw. He was captured in regular street clothes. I have not seen ANY effort by the police to address the issue of possible multiple gunmen.
Four men dressed in black were videotaped from a helicopter leaving the back door of the building carrying a large heavy bag which they dumped into an UNMARKED white pickup truck and then drove off. Who were they? Were they police? If so, why were they not wearing their equipment and why were they leaving since the perpetrator had not been caught. If not police, what were they doing in the building? Were they part of a drill and did they fire blanks? Did the heavy bag contain their weapons and SWAT-style gear? (2) Two girls said on video that there was “weird dust” or “gunpowder” on the hallway and stairwell floors, which could have been left by the cotton wadding found in some blank cartridges, which is blown to dust when the blank is fired. (3)(4)
The student activist, David Hogg, whose father is a former FBI agent and whose mother, Rebecca Boldrick, is a CNN VIP and an anti-Trump activist (5), taped what he said was an interview in a closet DURING the shooting. He announced at the beginning of the interview that it was about 9:32, but
the shooting didn't happen until around 2:21 pm. (6) He was also caught on tape, screwing up his lines and asking for retakes, while being coached by a news cameraman for a TV interview. By the way, Hogg’s father reportedly works for a company called Cubic, a private military/police training company. (7)
Finally, the police admit that they have video of the floors on which this supposedly happened (and there are reportedly about 20 cameras), but they have refused to show any interior videos to the public, and Sheriff Israel said “they may NEVER show them”! What is Israel hiding – what is he afraid to show us? At Columbine, they showed pictures of the shooters inside the school with guns three days after the shooting.
WAS THIS “SHOOTING” STAGED TO PROMOTE GUN CONTROL LEGISLATION? It happened ONE DAY before the Florida legislature was scheduled to LOOSEN gun control laws! Let's see the videos that Sheriff Israel refuses to release.
We need to use the same methodology that 24 year veteran school safety instructor Wolfgang Halbig and Professor James Fetzer employed to debunk the Sandy Hook shooting hoax. Go to Startpage dotcom and search for "Boston Marathon Staged Hoax", "Sandy Hook Staged Hoax", read the excellent book "No One Died at Sandy Hook" by Prof. James Fetzer, FREE online. (8) Also see YouTube videos and articles entitled “Sandy Hook Justice Report” by Wolfgang Halbig, who actually trained Stoneman Douglas High School in how to deal with a school shooting. He has trained schools in 43 counties in Florida. He investigated the Sandy Hook “shooting” and declared that it was a FEMA drill.
ReplyDeleteIn 2012, the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 and the Foreign Relations Authorization
Act of 1987, which prohibited the feds from using propagandistic techniques to manipulate
American public opinion, were repealed by an amendment (the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 by Rep. Thornberry (R-TX)) to the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Since then, many phony events have been staged, especially shooting incidents.
We need to restore Smith-Mundt in order to prevent the federal government from using propaganda and staged events to deceive and manipulate the American people.
Attorney General Sessions needs to appoint a special team of federal investigators with the power to compel testimony under oath, and under penalty of perjury, in order to get to the bottom of this. Particularly, we MUST see the interior videos!
Join the NRA and Gun Owners of America – together we can defeat the gun-grabbers!

"...or Black community... no matter well those people spoke..." That just sounds racist. As for Blacks committing more crimes as a percentage of the population, keep in mind Whites commit far more overall. And as a White guy, I have never once been threatened by a Black person. Every violent encounter I have ever had, was with another White person. And I have lived in some economically depressed neighborhoods as well as some extremely upper class neighborhoods, and in several states.
