When shes a white daughter of a DEA agent...thats when.
Sarah Furay was called “adorable” and “photogenic” for allegedly selling Ecstasy, cocaine, and weed. Would that have happened to a black girl?
Inside the bedroom of her College Station apartment police found large amounts of Ecstasy, cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, and an LSD analogue. They also found packing materials and two digital scales. Following the seizure, Furay was taken to Brazos County Jail, where the evidently unruffled teen smiled for a mugshot. After posting $39,000 bail, she left.
In the days after her arrest, multiple news organizations ran stories focusing not on her crimes as much as her “photogenic smile.” Her picture was coined the “happiest mugshot in America” and the “jolliest in recent history.” Rather than a criminal act, her offense was called “an entrepreneurial approach to avoiding student loan debt." The icing on the cake was news (broken by Death and Taxes)that her father is a “head honcho” at the local DEA office—a fact that was treated more as a potential TV plot line than a damning fact.
Why do people claim there is any such thing as "white privilege"?
