Minding my own business shopping and a middle-aged white woman asked me if I work there.
When I looked at her blankly and answered back in a deadpan voice “no”, she giggled it off and said “I was just wondering where to put this shirt back”.
But I’m a bad person if I go off.

Kicking myself for not saying “I’m a physician” and letting her die of embarrassment.
But something tells me she wouldn’t even have the decency to be embarrassed.
Most of these types don’t.

Stop asking Black people why they are angry.
I can’t even shop in peace.

The worst part about the everyday racism of white folks is that we aren’t even allowed to be angry about it.
As a Black woman, it would have come back on me.
I’m tired.
