I’m gonna say a real controversial thing real quick. Maybe, maybe, we should take a really close look at how we’re raising boys. The end. Thank you. Goodnight.
y’all ever get hit with the realization when you’re in the middle of doing something like, whoa, what the fucking shit this is real life. like this is happening right now. not even when its something crazy i mean when you’re like doing the laundry or some shit
its like you get snapped out of autopilot and suddenly everything becomes physically clearer and louder
Seems a new trend this year is various towns making it officially illegal, with possible fines or jail time, for kids over twelve years old to go Trick-or-Treating.
First of all you can’t tell by looking if a given kid is exactly twelve and under. They can be anywhere from ten to fifteen and look alike.
Second, why do I suspect that this just gives people a new excuse to call the cops on kids they “don’t like the look of”
even if this wasn’t explicitly intended to give them a free pass on harassing and arresting black kids (which it probably was), this will almost definitely intersect with the implicit racist bias of white people to assume little black kids are older than they are and end up with that exact result whether planned or not.
