Culture in free-fall.
A woman called the police in Rialto, California. She had noticed three strangers, all women, in the neighborhood. The police arrived, in seven cars.
The woman said, “They didn’t behave like neighbors and I know the couple that owns the house and I didn’t recognize them. I wasn’t being nosy. I was just being observant.” But the women were renters.
The question now, for black people in America (which these women were), is: Why do you want to be human?
