from high school in days, omw to college, a good student/athlete, homecoming king, but to them I was "black man with gun". Had to fight like hell, mom had to pick up hours at her jobs, had to pay every dime I had saved for a lawyer to ensure I didnt go from high school to prison.

UPDATE, these incidents still happen regularly These pics are of my 1yo son and I on FB live, 3 & 8 days ago. Both days police pulled up behind us, sat idled for 10-15mins until we left I don't know if they were there for us. But goodness man, it's exhausting having to considerpic.twitter.com/kj8EYckPZu

You don’t know me, but I just had to say that I am deeply sorry this has been your experience. That it’s been so many people’s experience for no reason other than arbitrary judgment based on the color of your skin. It’s just not right.
You didn’t deserve any of it.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I am floored but I’m not surprised. I’m so sorry you and your brothers have had to endure so much trauma. Thank you for sharing. Maybe a Karen or two will read it and -literally- weep.

And here’s the thing. These stories CONTINUE with the collective of millions of stories Black Americans have-over 400 YEARS. Imagine telling stories of almost every
one
of us. That would be millions of times over. THIS is our reality. But ppl seem to not understand that.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
