Racism is alive and well in America as the media cycle has realized that white people across the country have a problem with calling the cops on black people for no good reason. This is clearly a problem since cops are known for killing, raping and beating black people for no reason—and getting away with it.
One of the more recent examples of racist people calling the cops for black people existing comes from Oakland, California—where a white woman called the police on people barbecuing … in a park. She also started crying when the police arrived, acting like she's the victim of the encounter.
The constant reminder that people constantly see you as a threat can be tough to bear. That’s why in light of this rampant injustice, sometimes you just have to laugh instead of crying—and that’s what black folks all over social media did.
Memes of the white woman mocking her racism and her attempt to cry her way out of accountability have spread like wildfire.
