"You're disturbing the peace by being on the train" bc one pissy white woman complained for no reason ?
Arrggggg!!!

No one else complained. And they didn't even talk to her. 😑

Oh, Mr. O'Keefe, I'm sorry you had to endure yet another abuse living while Black.
Feck!

I remember that napping Black student incident
