I don& #39;t get why white folks think they are the only ones who feel fear. I have feared for my life walking at night in Europe with some drunk white boys behind me shouting & #39;Hey my nigger!& #39; It was a tense experience. Yet, I don& #39;t go out to attack white people first - claiming fear.
The first time a white barber shaved me using a razor, I sat cold and still, praying to the gods of my ancestors that my throat was not at the mercy of a racist with a razor blade. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ„¶" title="Cold face" aria-label="Emoji: Cold face">

Black people (justifiably) feel fear too, but we don& #39;t weaponise it or use it to justify hate.
