Walking around downtown Lansing and a guy threatened either my friend and I or the Asian family across from us to “shoot this city up thanks to you” with something just before that. He pressed the gas and drove off fast at the end, so that was enough for me to fear the worst. When people tell me they don’t see racism and don’t have to fear issues of color in their neighborhood, I know they walk with blinders on. I hear that from people who “work with an African American” or “have good family friends who are a different race.”
