I drove my friend to a bank, and after she came out I dropped her down the road and drove through Streatham. I'm hyper vigilant for a number of reasons, one reason- being a black yute in this here England. I looked in my rear-view mirror and noticed a car moving extremely erratic
The car was jumping queues, they were at least 6/7 cars behind me but I clocked it. I was in south though, so it wasn't usual. 🤣🤣🤣
When the erratic moving car had been two cars behind me, I saw it was a white guy in the passengers leaning out the window, shouting at drivers.

Johnson & Johnson targeted Black and Latina people with their BABY powder AFTER they were NOTIFIED that the asbestos found in their powder caused cancer. bbc.com/news/business-… they paid BLACK agencies to endorse their products.
