This is so sad and it’s happening in the United States of America

Hey kids, your favorite black barista here. So I am the only person of color employed at my specific shop (I live in suburbia and it’s a living hell), and today we had this as our trivia question (answer is B). I didn’t pick it, although almost every white person who came in assumed I did. I thought I’d share some of the gems I heard because of it:

Older White Man who always answers the trivia every single fucking day and has NEVER complained about the questions: Who the hell cares?? They’re all idiots anyway. I hate this question. White Co-Worker: Couldn’t agree more! Me: *horrified silence*

White Woman: Wow this is a tough one, I don’t think many people who come in here listen to rap music. Do I look like I listen to rap music? *laughs* Me: Well I’m pretty sure you don’t need a certain look to listen to music, just…ears. So yeah, you do! White Woman: Oh…sure…

12 different White Customers throughout my shift: Did you write this question?

White Woman #2: Why would you choose a question that only certain people would know? Me: *almost rolls my eyes into oblivion*

College-aged white guy: Hmm… *turns to black guy waiting in line behind him whom HE DOESN’T FUCKING KNOW* You got the answer to this right? *laughs* Black Guy: *gives me the “can u believe this fucking cracker” look* Me: *gives him the “I know brotha just pray to the lord for strength” look*

And much more. Y’all it was fucking wild to see white people so uncomfortable with something as simple as a trivia question that even hinted at blackness. We have questions about everything from fucking astrophysics to types of cheese but it was this one that was just “too much” or “outside their knowledge.” Soooo ridiculous and childish and…welp, racist.

We should be more pro-active or we’ll see more of such sad fates of honest people.

Before being shot dead by police, Philando Castile would frequently buy poor students lunch with his own money. Now, a fundraiser continues his legacy by covering the debts of students who can’t afford school lunch. This is a beautiful tribute. But that he had to die a horrible death for it.

On this day last year 23-year-old Korryn Gaines was killed by Baltimore County police and her 5-year-old son was shot in the limb.

She was wanted for a traffic violation, but apparently a SWAT team thought she was way too dangerous for them to try and arrest her without fatally shooting her.

I still think about Korryn a lot.
