[@jzthompson9598]

THE VERY TRUEST THING. For all 'clubs', actually. George Carlin talked about joining groups, and then having a uniform, and then stopping to think. Man was a genius, and Roy Wood, Jr. is speaking the same truth to a different crowd. The THEY is the ones with the money, the power, and the ability to divide the have-nots.

This cops saw us and from the other side of the road called us over asked me for ID .Wanted to know where I came from and where I was going . I was a minor with my parent . The officer completely disregarded my father and spoke to me like an adult criminal. If I wasn't with him I would have to explain the few dollars in my pocket .

[@zionakinjide650]

If it was only that one singular occurrence, one could shrug it off but imagine(which I know must have happened to you) being approached like a lion vs prey situation over and over. It gets exhausting and quite frankly sometimes you just want to break someone's face if you could.
