Im dark skinned and even I dont. Obviously I know not every cop is out for blood, but accidentally twitching my finger could get me murdered and that shit scares me.

Day to day, I feel fine. But if something were to go down, I know my actual character, history, and actions won't protect me. What happens to me at that point is mostly in the hands of someone has likely been trained to view people who look like me as a threat and to ascribe the actions of others to me. So that doesn't make me feel very safe.

I gotta be righteous, I gotta be me, I gotta be conscious, I gotta be free, I gotta be able, I gotta attack, I gotta be stable, I gotta be black.

I feel like:
  • The 2nd amendment is a trap for black people
  • And for that matter, the bill of rights as a whole was never meant for us. We're just starting to get most of the benefits in the past 5.6 decades or so.
  • I'm cool with police, but I'm not going to voluntarily interact with them if I can avoid it unless there is a surefire risk to public safety going on that doesn't involve me.
  • I'm pretty much always going to have to be extra careful in public because people will call the cops on me for dumb reasons.
  • There will always be people who assume I don't belong wherever I am and I may have to go out of my way to prove I'm not trespassing/stealing/otherwise up to no good.


Long story short: No

I'm not black but my wife is so I asked her. She says "fuck no."

Follow-up question: does she feel more or less safe now than she did four years ago. Answer: "much less now"

Not at all. I know most people don't care for us but I still am friendly to other people. If it was possible to leave America to feel safe I would.
