Stop!Calling!The!Cops!On!Black!people! . You arent fooling anyone with your excuses about feeling “scared” or “worried”.Black people existing around you isnt something to be “scared” or “worried” about.

White people arent actually scared.They are using their racism and privilege to make it difficult for black people to exist peacefully and go about their business in particular areas.

I want to point out that this is a tactic that has existed for a long time, you can see a similar pattern when people wanted to enforce Jim Crow segregation, and slave codes before that. The idea is that you utilize police/authority figures in order to assert “whiteness” in overt ways that not only terrorize the target but also anyone in their community that might get “uppity”. It was also how false accusations and lynchings were used. It isnt an accident. I also want to point out that white people aren’t the only ones abusing the purpose of first responders and using cops as their personal enforcers when it comes to keeping black people in “our place”.
