TBH I’ve been waiting for this shoe to drop for the last 45 years. I have deep POC paranoia. For decades if I see a white man all tatted up I’m scanning those tats for Nazi shit. In the 80s Oprah and Donahue would have Nazis on and I’ve always been waiting for them to launch a national campaign.

It’s raining and I am dressed for it. Wore a rain mac over my chore jacket. I heard a student comment “He got that shit ON” as I walked past (and if you don’t have a young Black person in your life, this is high praise).
