This reminds me once years back I was walking in the NYU area, The homeless often beg from the students. Mostly they gave, and give nothing. The poor the Black poor are less that nothing less than invisible. That or if seen a revolting an annoyance.
I was down there engineering a conference for later broadcast on WBAI. I was dressed like anyone else though I was un-white. At the corner headed to Washington Square park I was waiting for the light to change. There was a gaggle of students.
Some turned, and began to verbally assault me.
"Stop bothering people,...get away from here. I ain't giving you shit"...like that, and such. Though no they didn't use the "N" word. (...as I do above for effect), This being such a liberal town the students refrained. This was in the late 1990's.
Today nothing's changed.
The police are called on Blacks no matter their financial standing. This for just being anywhere doing any mundane thing. Going to the store walking their dog taking their kids to school or in my case coming home from the library.
Part of it is the enabling by this administration for these impulses part of it is the certain knowledge that they, whites, are to be a minority with all that implies. So hateful rear guard actions are common.
Btw the first Un-white Majority American Population was born in 2009. That's the year more un-white babies were born than pink ones. This generation the First Majority Un-white American Generation is in middle school now. Soon high school university the armed services work voting families...getting the picture?
However there's no need for fear.
We will be kinder to you than you even were to us.
...we won't even shoot you.
