Inspired by several threads but most notably this one. I think we have enough prohibitions for Black people specifically that we could start a list. Being as though this is 'Murica, more prohibitions will be added until, ultimately, the very existence of Black people themselves will be criminalized by the State. We can start with the following:

Driving while Black
Laughing while Black
Staring while Black
Cheering while Black
Wanting a better education for your children while Black
Sitting in your own car while Black
Stalled car while Black
Running a 5k while Black
Jaywalking while Black


So GAF, feel free to add any other acts/behaviors/actions that Black people aren't allowed to engage in.

Living while Black, as tragic and potentially darkly humorous as that is, probably sums it up best in many regards. I say that because many people, simply based on skin tone, feel like they have to live life on eggshells for factors far beyond their attempts at will, because the collective is based in ignore-ance to such facts.

Such a sad thing too, to believe human variation leads to such ego games...):

Walking out of store with purchased items while black. Made worst by the Bay Area's ban on plastic bags, so it's not uncommon to walk out of a store without bagged items.

This just reminds me how much I hate 99% of the 'prank' youtube channels/videos.

I swear these " pranksters " have a " I like to get beat up by black dudes " fetish. I feel like they specifically attack black teenagers to provoke them then post their shit on youtube " oh look black people are so violent duuuuuh " smh

What a bunch of idiots.

I feel like it's sometimes hard to know when a person's appreciation for that steps over the line into casual (or explicit) racism.

Yes..walk up to a table full of people, and start saying the BEST word to get got..then blame the black guys. It's quite brilliant, really..

Can someone post him the link of the black teens being chased around by the cops in Texas. can't post link but they was attending a pool party. No need to lie. Discrimination in this country towards minorities has no bounds.

 

[The Lamonster]

I think the saddest one is "breathing while black," à la Eric Garner.

They're appealing to their racist audience. All of these "in the hood" are just low-key "look at how violent black people are." They don't do this shit in rich white neighborhoods.

Underlining while Black does sound dangerous in the US tbh
