#PoolPatrolPatty: White Apartment Manager Fired After Calling Police on Black Couple Because of Socks
We can't eat while black.
We can't sleep while black.
We can't wear socks at a pool while black.
We can't wear hoodies while black.
We can't sell lemonade while black.
We can't walk in white neighborhood while black.
We can't raise our hands while black.
We can't have our hands in our pockets while black.
We can't have hands while black.
We can't gather in large groups while black.
We can't protest while black.
We can't criticize our country while black.
We can't stand up while black.
We can't sit down while black.
We can't breathe. Because your foot is on our necks.
