For all intents and purposes, I will be using the word "black" as a description of an individual. This is not meant to offend but to simply describe the person.
Yesterday, while driving home I pulled out onto N.Market St. and went on my way. I noticed halfway down the road that there was a car coming up quickly on my tail. To not get hit, I sped up a tad. The driver then proceeded to ride a lane to the left of me, and in my rearview mirror I could see him or her shuffling in the back seat. My turn was coming up, so I put on my blinker and moved into the left turn lane. I slowed down at the light and the driver whipped around me on the right side, slowed down, rolled the window down, and gestured in a manner that looked as if he was holding a gun or just making his hand look like a gun. The shuffling in the back seat had me worried when he slowed down and pointed either his hand or a real gun at me. This happened completely fast, so it's hard to tell.
NOW, this is a childish, immature way to act....whether you pull a gun on someone or even gesture you are putting yourself in a bad light. This man was black, and proceeded to use the old age scare tactic on a 28yr old woman. Now, I'm not one to at all be racist, I don't see color. I see people. However, all this #blacklivesmatter, and they do....but all lives matters. I would ask those of all races, to speak to those who are so against everyone else. You ask all of us to change to accept you, but there's a handful of people who make it difficult and run the gamut. Now, I pray that I never ever see this man again. I pray for him he realizes that he has some behavioral things he needs to fix, and I pray he doesn't hurt himself or someone else.
We can only improve ourselves first, the rest of the world will fall in line.
