How do we KNOW she's really "clean"?
She could be lying.

Does herpes count as being dirty?

Okay, discussions about "white privilege" and what that is or is not (or even if it's a thing) have been going on for a while now, and ATS is not immune--but what happens when you buy into the idea that it's actually a real thing? Well, apparently you make an ass out of yourself.

Enter birthday girl and real estate agent Lauren Elizabeth Cutshaw:

A woman seen speeding through a stop sign at 60 mph told officers they shouldn’t arrest her because she’s a “very clean, thoroughbred, white girl,” police said.

Her eyes glossy and bloodshot, Lauren Elizabeth Cutshaw was slurring her words and a breathalyzer showed her blood-alcohol level at .18 percent, according to police in Bluffton, South Carolina.

But Cutshaw, 32, told the arresting officer she shouldn’t be jailed because she was a cheerleader, a dancer and a sorority girl who graduated from a “high accredited university.”

I mean, she gets an "A" for effort (and maybe "Aryan"), for sure. I mean, if you're going to play the white-privilege card, you might as well go all out, amirite?

“I asked what that had to do with anything?” wrote the officer, who also is white.

She replied, “You’re a cop, you should know what that means,” and, “You’re a cop, you should know based on the people that come in this room.”

I guess Mr. Ociffer isn't part of the privilege club yet, or else he should have known what that meant. Silly cop who is actually doing his job--get with the program, would ya?!

Anyhoo, so what did her assumed white privilege get her?

Cutshaw was jailed on charges including drunken driving, speeding and marijuana possession, based in part on her own statements.

Maybe we white folks can only flash that privilege card discreetly, or else it doesn't work? I don't know.

Here's a thought, though--just because a group of people say something is real, don't buy into it, and certainly don't try to use it as a defense to get out of drunk driving.

Internet shrug.

 

Mods, if this is not the proper forum, please move--it's the best spot that I could come up with considering the topic of "white privilege."

I bet all the guys and gals at the station got a good chuckle over this. This whole “white privileged” stuff is just stupid. Welcome to the LAW!

Yeah, I've met many girls like that, too (I am from SoCal, after all), but that doesn't negate the fact that she went straight for the racist white-privilege argument...that didn't work...because actual human beings don't fall for that crap.

I identified as an attractive woman once to an officer--it didn't work.

And the ultimate reply would be:

"This is a charge sheet in which your name and charge will be straightforwardly inserted into the relevant boxes"

I heard that on jmmi kimel tonite they will be tellin racist jokes on the level with what roseanne told.

also it is very quite stupid imo to believe that color has no value other than skin tone.

Everyone is too pc to see the light.

just sayin that in an electric universe there could be more to the story

I'd really like to be a fly on the wall as she watches herself in all her thoroughbred glory... and reads the public's comments about her awesome possumness

Somehow I think she'll be rather surprised that other White folks won't give her that blue ribbon she thinks she's entitled to... LOL!

But seriously... thoroughbred? Really??? That's how she thinks of herself? Oh dear lord!

Just check her out. she doesn't look like a white thoroughbred to me. No wonder it didn't work.

Sounds like she's just a silly mare. Amirite?

"And they're off! Silly Mare is out of the gate like a spooked chicken and heading like a scared beast for the first jump. It's gonna be tricky, she's slightly drunk and full of herself. Will she be able to dazzle the officer with her looks as she tries to hurdle the huge bushes..... And she's down! Silly Mare is down! Oh ladies and gentlemen this is a tragedy!..."

Lol, what a shame she is wasting all that fine breeding, upbringing and schooling.

a reply to: LightSpeedDriver

Oh my! That was too funny Thank you for the belly laugh -- I loved it!

And yes! When you're right, you're right!

Sounds like someone should slap a saddle on her and enter her in the Kentucky Derby.

'And it's Priviledged White Girl ahead by a neck!'........................

Damnit, beat me to it.

There is women privilege.

Women are more likely to get out of speeding tickets than men.

AND.

What the hell is a clean,thoroughbred white girl even mean?

She's fast in the biblical sense?

“Clean, thoroughbred, white girl” translates to “you can ride me like Secretariat, if you don’t arrest me”

So we need to quote what every drunk stopped for a DUI says now? This is national news why? How many DUI arrests were there last night? What did these people say. Why don't you know? But one drunk says something stupid and it's NATIONAL NEWS that PROVES White Privilege!!!!!! J.F.C.

There's a danger people will make too much about things like this, overanalyse and bore.

She was drunk and having a laugh, and perhaps a bit desperate too.

Some people ain't lived and their threshold for life is set too low. If you don't chance it, then what's the point, eh?

a reply to: SlapMonkey

Made me chuckle, what a dork she must be not to say a racist dork.
