Want these photos inside 7-Eleven being looted in Baltimore to be seen

Sure, but look at narcotics incarceration statistics. It's basically legal to smoke weed in the USA if you're white. You get caught, maybe you pull a night in jail, go through a program. You get caught smoking weed while black, the punishment might be way more severe - let alone the crack/cocaine sentencing differences, blatantly established to oppress blacks.

I'd say that has to do more with location than anything else. If you're in the Deep South, smoking weed will get you locked away for years regardless of your race and if you're black you'll probably just get a harsher sentence.

Go to, say, Berkeley CA though? Doesn't matter which race you are, pot is pretty much legal for everyone.

It's more than the disenfranchised seeing whites as the face of "the man" - it's seeing us enjoy privileges so ingrained we don't even recognize them as privilege

That's one of the key problems with the theory of "white privilege" right there - Various privilege theories try to phrase the situation as whites having a distinct unfair advantage, rather than some specific minority groups having an unfair disadvantage, which is what the real problem is. Plenty of Asian people and others get "privilege" as well all the time, there's nothing uniquely white about "privilege" and attaching it specifically to whites only incites jealousy and anger, making things worse.

That being said, it's just as stupid as the people on Reddit today saying "Well I don't see why the most impoverished and oppressed among us just don't go out and vote instead of getting violent."

People of all races riot and many times for much dumber reasons. There's been riots over the outcome of sporting events, after all.
