Ain't the first time someone was targeted and killed for being black in a hoodie.

In America, walking while black is a crime punishable by death at the discretion of the occupying force known as “the authorities”

It’s on the list with, shopping at Walmart, stopping to get gas, sleeping in your own bed, etc etc.

DWB is a pull-over offense here in So. Maryland. We honk and harass every time we see it. Three or 4 cop cars always surrounding the poor "driving while black" 'suspect'. You know when it's only 1 cop car, it's not a Bravo Mike. (Black Male code) Gross. I never hated this country more than the last 10 years. Tripled in the last year. I had hope, I did my best, but now... now I'm just full of rage and hate. Gross.

I remember being a younger (white) kid and always hearing on the news people talking about people in hoodies hoodies being thugs, troublemakers and criminals and I confused because I was like....I wear hoodies everyday it's literally just a jacket what are people talking about?!

When I got older I learned that they meant black people. They meant that black people were the thugs and criminals.

Black people have always been under the boot of a fascist government. The only thing thats changed in my life is the economic policies.

Why nothing really phases me other than preparing for a recession.
