[quote=Anonymous]I kind of hope the OP isn't checking back in, because some of you are shockingly terrible people. If you are, OP, I remember hearing this after the Michael Brown/ Eric Garner murders. Black parents genuinely afraid that their black sons would be hurt or killed for things that would get a white kid scolded, maybe. It was a learning moment for me, and I've never forgotten it. I also read something about a black man who wanted to go jogging in his suburban neighborhood. But people kept calling the cops on him. So he got a small white dog with great stamina. Like magic, he was perceived as harmless, because scary black men don't run with fluffy little dogs. These calculations have always come naturally to women. Don't walk there, don't take that bus, don't make a scene, don't be rude to the drunk man. All the little acts of camouflage that we aren't even fully aware of. No summary, no lesson. But I see you. I hope you see me and my daughter as well. [/quote]
