Attack of The "Black People"

The weapon you never knew you had.

As a melanated man I'm quite aware of how I'm viewed in the world at large. Being black has never been easy for us, and being marginalized is just part of the system we have to operate in.

This is how they see us, not as equals, deserving of love and acceptance, but beasts who can't control ourselves so we need to be at all times policed.

I can say fortunate for me I don't live in the US, so I'm not on everyday alert to the fact that at any time the police will stop and/or harass me, kinda. I have traveled though, and when you're tall, dark with dreadlocks and don't smile much, you get the look of distrust.

It seems we are not immune of said distrust under any circumstances in our everyday lives, and the most proficient of objects that has been weaponized against us is the telephone.

Make no mistake, this has been a weapon of choice for a very long time now, but future advancements have made it all the more lethal.

We've all seen the multiple videos and the many nicknames. (YouTube video titles)

• Woman  called the cops to report the fact that humpback whales were swimming under her boat.

Yes, you read that correctly. Humpback whales were swimming under her boat, in the ocean.
The level of entitlement one needs for this to even be a thing is outstanding. Caucasian people can't seem to help themselves, and this I've come to understand. But the utterly absurd things they call 911 about seems to be boundless.
