    “When I first moved here I was living with my uncle in Brooklyn. He lives in a Jewish neighborhood. I accidentally set off his alarm one night when I came home. I couldn’t defuse it. The alarm kept screaming: ‘Burglary! Burglary! Burglary!’ I was the only black person.. "pic.twitter.com/JjskyKBXwh

        Smart kid. He shouldn't have had to do that... but considering the bigotry of some people, very smart kid.

        Reminds me of @Trevornoah telling how, when a cop pulled him over, he would just throw his arms out of the window to not risk anything and because it happens so often..quite ridiculous..https://youtu.be/aufMdURbitU

        He meant that he was out of place, so it would be easy to assume that he wasn’t a lawful resident in the community, especially being Black. The assumption would be that he was there to commit a crime. Now if you need THAT explained I can’t help you.

        Bloody hell. It's frightening that he had to even contemplate doing that.

        That’s so sad that he had to do that. An innocent person. A human being. Being a race is a skin tone. I just watched a documentary. The darker your skin the better natural sunblock you have. We are all the same. Just a little sunblock people.
