When you chose to leave Michigan, were you faced with endemic discrimination while looking for a place to live? While buying a home? While shopping? While walking around town doing nothing wrong? While driving while black?

It's not that Black people's choices are bad, it's the racist responses to those choices that are the problem.

Endemic discrimination while renting an apartment? Nope.

Owning a house? Haven't achieved that yet, but I haven't exactly been trying.

While shopping? Nope.

Walking around town? Nope.

Driving? If I'm speeding and/or driving like an idiot, I get attention from the cops. My driving record isn't exactly squeaky clean, but each infraction is because I was making the choice to not follow the rules of the road.

Sorry if my experience doesn't fit a different narrative, but in my experience if I'm looking/acting like an idiot I get treated as such. Nothing that is outside of my control though.

Are you uninterested in familiarizing yourself with the data that show that people of color have an unfairly different, damaging, and too often deadly experience?
