I don't drive white people's cars. Not joking. If a white friend asks me to drive their car, the answer is usually no. White folk can drive cars with minor issues without getting pulled over, but Black folk can't.
I don't drive my own car the entire month before the tags are due to expire.
I avoid certain entire cities. Part of my problem was I was often the one Black guy driving in the white town. For example, in over 25 years in Cali I've never once been pulled over in Oakland.🤷🏿♂️
@mekkaokereke @ristkof Yup, I don't doubt it for a second. I went for a year and a half with an expired inspection sticker before I finally got pulled over. I'm sure it would have been much quicker if I were black.
I mean, inspection stickers here are brightly colored with a holographic pattern. You can't possibly miss the color of the sticker on an oncoming car. It's an easy catch for a cop to write a slam-dunk $135 ticket.
People here in West Virginia (who are almost all white) argue there's no such thing as systemic racism. And they truly believe it.
