Black People Are Tired Of Having The Cops Called On Them For Nothing
By: Omar Cook
Is there a secret agenda that white people have going on that says anytime I see a black person doing ANYTHING, I should call the cops on them? I mean damn! Black people can’t do SHIT without having to deal with this issue, and it is an issue. Every other day, we see a new video pop up on the timeline showing a white person calling the cops on a black person for merely existing. It’s out of control and black people are tired of the blatant racism.

We’ve seen videos of black people having the cops called on them for having a bbq in the park. Is eating and having fun a crime now? Why can’t yall just mind your business? It’s not that serious. We’ve seen videos of cops being called for a black person being suspected of kidnapping white kids, when they were actually the babysitter! Look, no reasonable black person has an agenda to kidnap some white kids. We really aren’t that concerned to be doing shit like that.
We’ve seen videos of a white lady trying to block off a black man from entering an apartment building, that he lived at! Like damn, we gotta report to yall before we enter our place of residence? Recently a video just surfaced of a black man visiting his mother at a housing complex and a white man called the cops on him. And another video surfaced of a white woman calling the cops on a black for talking to his son at a soccer game! Bruh. we can’t visit our parents? We can’t give our children constructive criticism at a sporting event without running the risk of being arrested? What can we do white people?? I’m asking.

We’ve seen the video of the white lady calling the cops on a 9 year old boy, because she suspected he grabbed her butt. A whole 9 year old. And even after the surveillance proved that he just brushed by her, the lady still stuck to her story. Incidents like this is what gets black people killed. We live in a digital age where these incidents can be caught on camera, but people like Emmitt Till were less fortunate by being a victim to such incidents. A whole 60 years later and black people are still being falsely accused of things.
I could give examples for days because there’s just that many incidents where this has happened. It’s a phenomenon. It’s tough out here being black. We run the risk of having to deal with the cops just for stepping foot outside the house. Why does the color of our skin scare you guys so much? It’s a skin color, it’s harmless. You can present all these types of incidents to certain white people and they still won’t acknowledge that this is a real issue. And they wonder why Kaepernick kneels, or at least they choose to be oblivious to it. “Disrespectful to the flag” they say. Well shit, we feel disrespected by white people not minding your business!
At the end of the day, we just want the racism to stop so we can coexist in peace. We want to be able to breathe, see our family members, attend sporting events, and just live out our days without the nonsense. It’s possible that we can all live amongst each other without the hatred and racism. Next time you see a black person existing in peace, just leave them alone. It’s not that difficult.
