What gets me is that people are surprised that this stuff still happens. I mean, I know folks are given to hyperbole sometimes, but you know, all us cullud folks didn't just decide that we were going to dream up a collective hallucination just to make white folks feel nervous, or scared, or sad, or insert-your-favorite-emotion-here.
It's like that movie Crash and why it makes me so upset - the only time (many) non-black folks have to confront racism is when it "crashes" into them, but for (many) non-white folks, we live this isht day in, day out. It happens. It's real. We're not all lying about it.
