Black Farmer Calls Out Liberal Racism In Powerful Facebook Message

[Starry Messenger]

304. Sorry I'm late to this thread--experience even in Oakland is the same.

White liberal Oaklanders are notorious for calling the cops on their Black neighbors and for racial profiling. There was an analysis of Nextdoor posts that showed it was so bad, that the platform had to change their reporting process for "suspicious" people in your neighborhood. People were just straight up dropping a dime on the Black neighbors.

A friend of mine in West Oakland neighborhood said she was shocked at the amount of times her very liberal white neighbor called the cops on a mutual Black neighbor for letting their dog run in the back yard.

White people have been acclimated to think of cops as officer friendly just there to do wellness checks and social aid. I had a boss of mine lecture me once about how it was important to call the cops on the homeless because cops are the first line to resources. Well, I don't, and I think the publicity about what happens to people of color in encounters with cops pretty much backs that up.
