And yet here you are living large in an upscale part of town living the dream.. How often do security follow you around the mall assuming you're going to steal something? When/if a cop pulls you over how does it make you feel when he cuffs you and searches you for guns and weapons and then says just do what you're told we've had reports of an older "white" man in the area acting suspicious? When you see a cop behind you at a light do you worry you might be shot? How often do you get the police called on you because you look out of place in your own neighborhood? You ever have people move away from your area cause you moved in or get dirty looks for no reason and feel out of place every single day of your life? I too have had guns pointed at me and worked in very dangerous neighborhoods but always been able to separate myself from those threats and that's why I can't even imagine what it must be like to be black in many many places in America even today..
