I can’t say definitively whether the empress of hotel lobbies singled me out because I was a black man in a black hoodie surrounded by nonblack people. What I do know is that I felt like I was being targeted because of the color of my skin.
Despite what you may think, I am an optimist at heart. I hope that woman was simply doing her job. I can contort my internal logic into giving her the benefit of the doubt, but if there were a way for me to find out this particular location’s racism rating, I might not have been so offended.
There should be an app for that.
I’m calling on some of our best and brightest black researchers to develop a Yelp-like software application so that we can rate white people. Maybe Shuri could fly in from Wakanda and provide the tech. I know it all sounds kind of racist, but hear me out.

Keep in mind its run by the same people that run Gizmodo, Lifehacker, Deadspin, and more. All three used to be good websites for their topics, but they cant resist splicing politics into stuff constantly. Stumbling across The Root was the last straw for me, I don't read any of their sites anymore, although I do miss some of the interesting articles they probably still have on occasion.
What is it with you and posting nothing but divisive garbage?
No , just showing examples of divisiveness .
