That ain't even what I am saying, brehYour reality as a Black man in this country is extreme, and it will serve you well to realize that and live accordingly. Instead you're on some wishy-washy "how things should be" kick, and that's not healthy.
You seem to have some silent agenda that I can't quite put my had on.. ..that whole "the narrative driven by headlines..." is a little too fox newsy for me, and completely false.
And if I'm wrong, point to specific publications or channels or streams that have developed such a narrative.
Be careful that this supposed narrative you speak of isn't actually REALITY (sarcasm, because it is)
People on here walk around and see cops all the time without getting popped. Recognize the other part I said
The narrative driven by headlines is that we are all prone to being shot on sight. It isn't quite that simple. We know it *can* happen, and much more
likely than against a white person. Doesn't mean every day brothas don't push their luck and still walk away. I have had more good interactions than
bad, even when im on my skatelife oversized tee, torn up shoes shyt.
I see how she can go down, and it happens every day, but this isn't quite the same as "Stay in your home, they lurkin" type shyt.
Every spring, summer, and fall my ass is in in neighborhood known for druggies and the mentally ill, all surrounded by gang activity
that accumulates due to the local community college and the fact it is wedged between major train stops (nooks and alleyways where
bad shyt happens every year without fail) and a major expressway linked by the lake. Weekly interactions with cops whether they are
kicking folks out of a place or picking up somebody for something. Last year a 14 year old kid was hit on the streets while I was 2 blocks
away. Cops asking information, none tripping about the open weed smoking and "other" shyt that was taking place.
I worked in a suburb 20 miles from my home where I would be the only black person I see, and only got stopped four times: Once when
my license plate fell off, 3 times in one night as I was driving home on a flat. I don't downplay that these fukkboys are out here hitting
brothas up just because they can, half cause of racism, the other half cause the cops are just dikks, but I won't pretend they all on
that training day shyt.
I'm simply saying that I have been in the belly of the beast, nearby when bad shyt was going down, and in dozens of interactions with cops,
only a few were fukked up. Do with that what you will.
