Someone FAFO
The demographic shift and the fact we are demanding economic and legal justice and making strides in it, the overwhelming success of the BLM/Floyd marches, has gotten white people triggered.
They will take shots. They will go after black elderly, women and children as well. They have always seen them as legit targets.
Some, because they feel (know) they are physiologically inferior will try to test Black men. They always do this in a crowd, never, ever alone with no one around unless they have a gun. They know that any negative encounter, even with witnesses such as this, they know that the system of white supremacy will protect them first and foremost and will look at the Black person as the aggressor, irrespective of any evidence otherwise. They know they can also play the victim card. They also know that if they are punished due to overwhelming evidence (video for example) that can not be disputed they will not be punished harshly. They will get the leanest punishment available or even none at all save a fake finger wagging.
We will know we are making ground because these interactions will get bolder, crazier, demonic especially to isolated blacks, elderly, women and kids.
This is such one incident.
The problem for us is, 95% of us won't anticipate it. We won't be prepared mentally and physically for it. Most of us will go through life hoping or thinking they won't have a moment like this and hope to skate through without incident.
When you see Black folks in disbelief when this happens. When you see Black folks saying "Why are you doing this?" This is a Black person who thought they could go under the radar and haven't thought about the one time it's their turn. It's too emotionally draining to live life anticipating white rage so 90% of us ignore it, ignore the signs and don't see it coming.
You know what scares them? When you are prepared. You are steely eyed, not taking the bait and you seem as they you have anticipated it. Trust me, it scares them.
