Fuck. I am shaking right now. A college friend was just live on FB confronting a group of white people at Lighthouse Beach in Evanston (IL) that had a Confederate flag on display. She's a Black public school teacher & drove down when she saw the flag posted on social media.
Y'all can watch it here - TW for when the LONE person of color a non-Black man attacked my friend because "she's the one causing the problem", the Confederate flag holders were "minding their business" and he "fought for their right to display that flag" https://www.facebook.com/1537902682/videos/10222698993693645/
I was watching and really expecting the beach to be pretty empty (ya know issa pandemic) - then she panned around and there it was: a fucking WHOLE BEACH FULL of white people who weren't saying SHIT about that flag being on display.
And then AFTER the confrontation here come the white women talking about "I'm sorry you had to deal with that" - BITCH?! You need to be sorry YOU didn't deal with it. I'm so angry right now. I worked at that beach during summers in college.
Evanston, IL is almost 20% Black. It has the main campus for Northwestern Univerisity within it's borders. This is what most people would say is considered a "LIBERAL SUBURB" of Chicago.
TBH the more I think about it - the more I want to find that NB man of color - who TF is he? FR FR.
No for real. Look at this shit.
