Waiting in the CVS parking lot, this old white lady drives by, rolls down her window, and shouts at this black girl with a bag (clearly waiting for her ride:
"Is this where you get the vaccines?"
Black girl (couldn't have been more than 16) says nothing, goes back into phone...
"Is this where you get the vaccines?"
Black girl (couldn't have been more than 16) says nothing, goes back into phone...
White lady "I SAID, Is this where you get the vaccines?"
Girl now does an elaborate *look behind to see if there is somebody else this lady should be talking to*, LIKE AN EMPLOYEE. Says nothing.
White lady, screaming at the top of her lungs "IS THIS WHERE YOU GET THE VACCINES"...

Now people behind her in the lot start honking at her. She yells "THE SERVICE" as she rolls up her window and drives off.
To recap: Old white lady shouts herself out of vaccine information after assuming every random black person she sees is put on earth to help her...

I would have helped, mainly to save the Black girl from having to deal with this bullcrap. But, I had my kids in the car, and that conversation goes 2 ways:
A: yes. [lady drives off]
B: yes [Lady decides I'm "the help" and wishes she hadn't]
Couldn't risk convo B with the kiddos
A: yes. [lady drives off]
B: yes [Lady decides I'm "the help" and wishes she hadn't]

Anyway, I am NOT ready for re-entry. I've basically enjoyed a year without the background racism of this society in my day to day life and... I'm *really* not looking forward to dealing with that kind of white person again.
