(73,630 posts)That America has a never ending supply of racist white ladies, who believe that theyre entitled to use the police to oppress any Black person within their presence.
Its not just the racist aspect of it, its the sheer audacity of their willingness to police Black bodies personally, under the rubric being afraid of those same Black bodies, merely because theyre inability to cope with their own episode of race based stress.
These white people see a Black body in an area where theyve designated it in their own minds as a whites only space, they then become uncomfortable with that fact and then go on to conflate their own discomfort around Black people with some threat to their own safety.
Its ridiculous to most people of course, but to whites who have been conditioned to have anti-Black bias for their entire lives, it makes perfect sense.
Thank goodness for cell phones videos and YouTube, because its not out of the realm of possibility for these racially stressed and entitled white women cry rape or whatever, whenever Black people are doing nothing more than going about their own business.
In the past, thats how a Black man could get lynched.
