Question: Why are white people so fearful of people of color in general and black bodies in particular, that they would call the police on us for merely existing within their eyesight?
Just this last month alone, cops have been called on us for:
- Sitting quietly in a Starbucks while waiting for a friend.
- Napping in a college dorm public area.
- Being part of a college tour group
- Checking out of an AirBNB
- BBQing in a public park.
- Shopping for prom clothes.
- Talking one’s time to shop at a Walmart
- Being the member of a gym and working out.
- Golfing.
Luckily, in all of these cases, no one was killed. However, history is replete with incidents where such a call had turned fatal.
Just recently cops killed a man who was sitting in his car while waiting for someone to finish shopping.
But I’m sure that it’s only a matter of time before more blood is spilled over merely existing within the mere presence of white people.
So, again I ask... Why?
Maybe it's time for the Bullets to start going in the other direction ... it's why I carry. I Carry because White People a Scared of Me.
