"Time does not exist to them, there is only the present, the now. A cop yells, "do not run I will [in the future] shoot!" This phrase is meaningless to them. In their mind he has two choices: be detained by the cops, or run and be free.

That the cop will start shooting 5 seconds into the future is incomprehensible to them. They are living in a science fiction parallel universe where there is no continuity with themselves 15-seconds into the future.

As a White man you think you are still you 15-seconds in the future, not so to them. They see no relation to himself 15-seconds in the future, it is a completely different person. Their interests are unrelated if not opposed.

Once you understand that they care as much about themself 15-seconds into the future as you do about some random black, all of a sudden all their decisions makes sense. Why go into obscene amounts of debt for some chrome rims?

Some other random black will have to pay it back instead of you. Why rape some random White girl? Some other random black will go to jail not you. Etc. They are literally free of all consequences for their actions as they've broken the cause effect chain through black magic.

Now you can also appreciate the injustice of them being shot or put in jail. If they shot at a cop 15-seconds ago, that was a completely different random guy to the black.

The black getting shot was just living his life (in an alternate universe where you forever live in one moment) and is now being shot for literally no reason.

Mamas have been trying to explain this to White people for years with the He dindu nuffin. They are trying to explain that, while to you it appears that her son committed some horrific act of violence, in fact that was actually a completely different guy in a parallel universe.

They only exist in the moment, and in the moment the mama is speaking (the only moment she has ever known), her son literally has not done anything wrong.

Being a black is like reliving Groundhog Day over forever, but in 15-second clips. The next time you interact with a black or goldfish remember that."
