Dear white people

I just fucking can't with these white women out here! A twenty-two year old man was stopped by police. A white woman called them on him because she said that he looked at her suspiciously. Seriously, what the fuck! She knew what she was doing. I am so sick of white women using the police as their personal weapons against Black people. That young man could have been another hashtag. Another name for us to say. Another one of us ancestered too soon. How the fuck does one look at another suspiciously anyway? Were his brows furrowed? Was he licking his lips? His hand between his legs? What? No, I really need answers. Years ago I was pulled over by the cops because I looked at them as they pulled up next to me. They said my eye contact was suspicious. We are all suspicious. It's harder and harder to live out here and there is no one "the talk" to give our children. Stay. Run. Resist. Be still. Look. Smile. Don't look. Keep your head up. Eyes on the ground. What? What the whole fuck?
