I've mentioned this from time to time on social media and at work when the topic came up with customers, but while I was on my way to a building for job interview training last year, there was a cop car outside. I had my face covered cause I don't do well with car fumes and the sort. I waved to the car, indicating that I was just a passerby. They ended up coming out and telling me to not move. They didn't pull a gun out, iirc, and just told me to sit down on their car until the detective showed up to confirm if I was who they were looking for. Earlier that day, some white guy robbed and shot up a bank. They still didn't even try jack shit to me despite the fact that they were looking for an armed burglar and possible murderer. The detective soon showed up and said I wasn't the guy. The cops let me go into the building without so much as a fuss. I was scared, but I could only imagine that a lot worse could've happened if I had a darker skin tone. White privilege is real, and I will do my damndest to use it for good, and to make sure they will be heard and not ignored. History is happening before our very eyes. Don't blink or look away. #BlackLivesMatter #Riots #GeorgeFloyd #NoJusticeNoPeace #PoliceBrutalityMustStop https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3I2Iop6v1/?igshid=hzvqxypvz9r3
