Even more everyday racial discrimination!

Whew. I thought that was Tim Scott. It's not.

Here are all the routine activities for which police were called on African-Americans this year
https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/20/us/living-while-black-police-calls-trnd/index.html


In 2018, police across the United States have been urged to investigate black people for doing all kinds of daily, mundane, noncriminal activities.
This year alone, police have been called on African-Americans for:
Operating a lemonade store
Golfing too slowly
Waiting for a friend at Starbucks
Barbecuing at a park
Working out at a gym
Campaigning door to door
Moving into an apartment
Mowing the wrong lawn
Shopping for prom clothes
Napping in a university common room
Asking for directions
Not waving while leaving an Airbnb
Redeeming a coupon
Selling bottled water on a sidewalk
Eating lunch on a college campus
Riding in a car with a white grandmother
Babysitting two white children
Wearing a backpack that brushed against a woman
Working as a home inspector
Working as a firefighter
Helping a homeless man
Delivering newspapers
Swimming in a pool
Shopping while pregnant
Driving with leaves on a car
And these are just the incidents that CNN has reported. There are no doubt many others.

Ok, sexist comment incoming. A female fivesome on a golf course should be a felony, regardless of race.

A mowing a little over into someone else’s yard is routine for a kid with a lawn mowing business.

Is South Park Susan somewhere on that list?

I find it impossible to believe that there were 5 women golfing together, and it didn't significantly slow down play.

It was at some public or semi-private course so it’s possible that it was a five and a half hour round anyway.
 
That kid’s blade might have been lower than the lawn owner liked.
