So today I’m at Lake Merritt and minding my Black ass business. As I finish my jog (Let’s be real, fast walk) I notice this white woman being really aggressive towards the Black Guy. I’m nosey so I stop to observe.
Turns out, she is harassing him about bbq’ing on the lake....where everyone bbqs. 
So i walk over to him and introduce myself and let him know I would be standing by as she calls the cops just so he isn’t alone and I can be a witness to her harassment.
She stands there for 90m in the freezing cold! Wtf? I want to tap out Bc I’m cold and have things to do but I refuse to leave this brother alone with her. She’s dangerous.
His friend then shows up so I go over and introduce myself to him and reiterate that I’m gonna be there to observe in case facts get mixed up.
Then another group of folks come over and observe the Angry White Woman harassing the two men. They call out her racism for what it is and go IN!
What’s funny is her whole attitude changes when confronted by another white woman. Her tone was berating and rude to the Black man. Aggressive. When the white woman showed up it was “ma’am” this and “ma’am” that. Wtf?
Long story short....it took another white woman to run the Angry White Woman off. No police ever showed up (while I was there) because they have real crimes to worry about.
The real kicker is the brother is a fire safety instructor. So.....
They were super nice and invited me to their bbq. I got goals so i had to decline the deliciousness. I’m sure our white ally got a literal invite to the cookout though, lol.
There are so many sad things about this story. 1)this man was being harassed by an Angry White Woman, 2) i had to take three hours out of my day to make sure this Angry White Woman did not put his life in danger. 3) it took another white woman to check her
I’m sure one of the brothers from today will reach out to you about this thread. There ya go. A few facts from an observer.
Also, white people need to stop calling the cops on Black people when they are doing NOTHING WRONG! 1) you're wasting my tax dollars and 2) most important, you are literally putting lives in danger!
Update! The police showed up an hour later and told the men they were bbq'ing in a LEGAL zone. So...Angry White Woman was just harassing these men for hours for nothing AND wasting tax dollars.
