[@love4myclarks7]

lol I thought it was just me who always found a seat with my back to the wall or where I can get a full perspective of the room.

[@TheNoirAlien]

I do this too.

[@Deetruckin]

love4myclarks7 it’s a different level of awareness. I’ve been that way for a very long time. And I’m glad she pointed out that it has nothing to do with fear, or being a coward.

[@alexandriamorrison1819]

[@gladyssmith8912]

I would love to meet her

[@tomo823]

Met her once back at my PWI college in the late 80's. The Black student council who brought her there didn't like her and asked me to drive her back to the Detroit airport from Midwest Ohio (about an hour). Me and my roommate had the most enlightening hopeful for the future fun conversation with her.

[@love4myclarks7]

You and me both. what a mind-what a legend

[@mralladatshyt]

Incredible

[@OzieCargile]

My Grandfather, Ozie Lee Cargile, was a Pullman Porter.

[@tyreehopkinssr.9970]

Her comment about melinated people being on stage our whole live, I want to elaborate even further and say daily were on a stage when we walk into an establishment or go around a mass amount of non melinated people, all eye's are on us.

[@1wtre]

[@zurimtume916]

"Dumb people don't pick me up. Donald Trumps isn't going to quote me" paahhhaa
