I keep thinking about what might have happened to me, a white woman, if I had fallen asleep at a drive-through line at Wendy’s. I think it’s reasonable to assume that given the seriousness of the offense I might have gotten...a ticket.

i know, right.it's our sad white legacy whether we want it or not.racism is a curse that runs thru generations of people who don't see or touch it, truly innocent.Only the worst among us latch on and ride it for all it's worth.Hardly fair to us others who don't

You would have gotten awakened and asked to move...that’s it!!!
Replying to @marwilliamson
Probably someone would’ve just honked to wake you up

But would you fight the police and try to escape?

This person was probably so exhausted from working 12-14 hour days, just trying to get a bite to eat & make It home.... Keeping up with Corporate America’s grind just to slave away the next day again, and again. People wonder what the purpose of life is, just to work, eat, sleep

You would have been allowed to walk home as this victim requested

I get your point and agree with you. But it should be noted that cops have been known to do terrible things to inebriated women as well.

Some of live a life of fear and anxiety, just because we lost in birth and country lottery
