I really don't feel safe in this country anymore.
people have been so conditioned to associate fear and criminality with black manhood that sometimes I fear even the littlest discrepancy could lead to me getting shot or killed by police.
I was skateboarding down myrtle yesterday. I stop at Burger King and set my skateboard aside against a wall tl check the time on my phone. As soon as I pull out my phone this spanish woman clutches her purse and gets scared. For me checking the time.
this is the element of fear that has been pounded into the collective consciousness of society with black men. where anybody and everybody has a reason to be wary of us and call police when we make them feel uncomfortable just for living and existing.
