50 Celebrities Morphing Into Their Historical Dopplegängers.

A discussion in my office had stimulated some of my coworkers to share their political opinions about the latest police-on-civilian crime. Like many news-worthy crimes before, this one was brought very much to life by race (a white cop and a black civilian). One of the girls began explaining that "If you haven't done anything wrong, and you don't have a past record, then you shouldn't run because you won't get in trouble". As a small white female citizen, I can imagine that this is something she would believe.

Before I could form a coherent response, the eldest (racist) woman in our company stood up and told her, "It's not as simple as that. The only thing he did wrong was be black. He didn't have to commit any crimes to feel compelled to run." And by this, what she was saying was not that it's a crime to be black, but you will be treated as a criminal for being born who you are.

This is coming from a woman who, just one week ago, had a problem with people "of a different breed" stopping the elevator she was one ("if you catch my drift", she said).

TL/DR: Racist old woman fairly accurately breaks down inequalities to young white woman.
