    On Sunday, Corey Lewis was babysitting two children. A stranger followed them and wound up calling the police. Lewis runs his own child care business called "Inspired By Lewis" — and was wearing a T-shirt with the name on it.https://n.pr/2C8hB3t

        Can we be honest for a second and admit a good deal of white folks that subscribe to and follow NPR, are the same ones calling the cops on people of color? Don’t act outraged online and then clutch your purse when we enter the elevator behind you. Being a POC isn’t a crime.

        It’s the ones that sit in their homes inside their own messed up, fearful heads and DON’T read fair and balanced news, and were raised by fearful troubled parents that make these calls.

        If we hadn't retreated to segregationism, we'd probably have a lot fewer of these racist episodes. When you actually live, work, and play with black people it's a lot harder to have ridiculous paranoia like this. But instead we get garbage like this at our county fairs:pic.twitter.com/5LEzmTFO97

        That is the biggest cop-out. There's nothing in the white house that is saying that blacks are lesser or that there should be segregation. In fact it is the liberal camp that is looking for safe spaces and trying to divide People based on color.

        "In fact it is the liberal camp that is looking for safe spaces and trying to divide People based on color." - No, not a fact (or facts) at all.

        Need to give some thought on a solution that would be effective.

        Uh that’d be the rapture & Jesus coming back. That’s pretty much it as far as solutions go. Unless we can identify this peach of a lady & make an example of her...? Nothing atrocious like her behavior but at least to get the drift of what it feels like to be judged.pic.twitter.com/e8gFLHC5N0

        I hate to minimize the ridiculousness of this and similar incidents BUT, I cant come up with a catchy name for this woman. I mean we have Permit Patty and BBQ Becky...any ideas?

        tRUmp's America. Where black ppl get the cops on them for being black. Some ppl are so stupid! Just talk to the guy if you're so worried. Why is that so hard? No, instead stalk him and call the cops. 🙄

        If I was babysitting two kids as my job and some strange woman came up wanting to talk to them, I'd say no, too. He was wearing a shirt with his business on it!! Would the same thing happen if it was a white guy with two black kids?
