Will white folks PLEASE STOP whitesplaining the experience of being black in America to black people [View all]

As a white woman I don't worry about my white son walking out the front door each day. Society affords us advantages in so many ways. I just saw a conversation on the view (in a waiting room didn't watch voluntarily) with the Fergeson police chief at the time Michael brown was killed and it made my head want to explode. White people need to stop telling black people what their god damn experience is in this country. Props to whoopi for not choking the asshole. Lord knows I wanted to.
