“Things are not as bad here as other places, but black and brown people, especially black men, still get profiled more than anyone else. Recently my son was coming out of basketball practice and he was wearing a hoodie and sweats. There had just been a robbery in the area and he ‘fit the description’ so 4 cop cars swarmed him and questioned him.”
“Was that his first time having something like that happen?”
“Yeah, when we got home I had to sit him down so we could talk about how the world is and what he needs to be prepared for.”
