Dear young black kids
Don’t let your white friends get you in trouble.
You better say that.
i want to elaborate on this.
don’t buy from white dealers and don’t sell to white people.
don’t underage drink with white people.
don’t do anything that could be viewed as illegal by cops with white people and this isn’t me trying to be anti-white this is me telling you to protect yourself from anti-black cops. they won’t hesitate to pin the entire crime on you even if your white friend did 90% of the crime.
most (if not all) white people don’t understand the same crimes they commit (getting into a bar with a fake ID, stealing cigars, playing with toy guns in walmart) we are given a lengthy imprisonment or executed on the spot for.
so don’t put yourself in a situation that could get you killed and a white person a slap on the wrist.
Sorry if this isn’t the right place but I felt like its important to add, this is the most real shit I have seen on my dash in a while. After I got my license I drove everywhere, constantly picked up my friends and really just drove like a maniac making dumb decisions left and right. Now one of my best friends is a WoC and I helped her get her license and I always told her ‘9mph over the speed limit and the ticket gets thrown out in court’ because that is what I’d been taught. One day she was driving and I mentioned that to her and she kept insisting that it was 5mph. It took me YEARS to realize PoC can’t afford that extra 4mph!!!!!!!!! White teenagers are the dumbest group on the planet, please don’t let them talk you into their dumb shit!
Conversely: White people, don’t get your black friends into trouble. What is just dicking around to you is a potential death sentence to them. If you are any kind of friend, you won’t put them in that kinds of harm’s way.
Important addition
And if you wind up getting them in trouble, take the blame. If they’re getting harassed, distract the cop hassling them. I’ve defused a couple of situations when I was in college and someone was getting shit from campus cops for walking while black by going up to them like I knew them and was expecting them for a study group. If you can defend them without getting them into deeper shit, maybe redirect the attention away from them or give them a reason to be there, do so.
We’ve essentially got a bubble of protection around us and we need to use it to keep others safe.
White kids use your privilege.
Also remember this if you’re thinking about calling the police on people. My neighbors last year were super shitty and loud all night long but nobody in my house dared call the cops bc these neighbors were black men. The only time I ever called the police was on my preppy white neighbors who were about to drive drunk. Seriously, I used to be a lot dumber than I am now and I’m sure I’m currently way dumber than I will be about this kind of stuff, but as white people we have to teach ourselves. We have to realize and remember that we get off easy in comparison.
