Hi, this is Alonzo Bowden. I want to welcome you to episode 216 on my podcast.

Who's paying attention?

And, you know, it's been a little while since I did a podcast.

It's actually been a couple of weeks.

The reason is I was trying to wait for a day where a white person didn't call the cops on black people.

And I guess I'd be waiting forever.

That day's not coming. So since we last spoke,

there was a manager who called the cops on three teenagers shopping at Nordstrom Rack in Brentwood,

Missouri. A woman called the police because there were black people at a house, which was an Airbnb

in Rialto, California. She waved, They didn't wave back. She called the police. One of those women was Bob Marley's granddaughter. At Yale, you probably heard about this. There was a black graduate student taking a nap in one of the common rooms and a white student called the cops on her.

We all know about the woman who called the cops on the black family having a cook

out in Oakland. We're going to talk about that some more. Or maybe you've seen the meme. She's

calling the cops on everybody. In Memphis, Tennessee, there was a black real estate investor looking at one of the

houses he bought because he's a real estate investor. So a woman called the cops on him. Those

cops were great, though. They actually told him he was fine. He could do his work. And if this

woman harassed him anymore, they'd come back and arrest her. So that was fine. He could do his work. And if this woman harassed him anymore, they'd come back and

arrest her. So that was great. At Hobby Lobby in Alabama, and well, listen, if you're black

and you're in Hobby Lobby in Alabama, you know there's going to be trouble. So I can't even

say this one's a surprise, but they called the cops on a man because he was

returning something.

He had the receipt, the original packaging.

He was returning it.
