I called the cops because a cab driver pulled over on a dark street & refused to drive me to my destination unless I'd give him head. The male officer that arrived asked me if I was or had ever been a prostitute. That's what happens when I call the cops. #LivingWhileBlack
The cop "searched" me while his partner went into 7/11 so she didn't have to see. Then he asked me if I really thought the cabbie should go to jail for what he did. I told him I didn't want it to happen again & he asked if the cabbie deserved jail though. #LivingWhileBlack
If you're white, you can call the cops b/c of a hypothetical scenario that hasn't played out anywhere but in your mind & be taken seriously. If you're black, you can't call the cops even if you're in trouble b/c you might not survive the assistance they send. #LivingWhileBlack
