That's just awful that these folks have to put up with that down south. It's really sad that so many white americans dislike black americans enough to kill them for no reason. It looks like this is going on all over the country... Oakland, Louisiana, you name it.

This kind of stuff happens around where I live, too, but around here in Cleveland it's mostly money hungry security companies that you have to worry about. They'll rough you up, then let you go, and the cops will refuse to do anything about it.

One of the companies notoriously famous for that around here is Cleveland Metro. I've tried riding the Greyhound, but they just grab me, drag me into a back office, rough me up, then let me go. They harass me every single time I go through there. A total of like 5 times so far. Even my employer tried to find out what was going on one time because I was on a business trip that time. The only way in or out of Cleveland, OH for me is a train, or the akron metro.

There are still a few that do not get it and will never will. But we just have to keep at it till they are weeded out.
