When No One Is Watching

by Alyssa Cole

a slavery theme park that’d opened in Brooklyn at the end of the nineteenth century. Slavery. Fucking. Theme park.

Already immediately no

White people came to Brooklyn to tour the “faithfully recreated plantation.” They sang along to Negro spirituals and took refreshment as they watched Black people, free Black people, pretend to be slaves.

I wonder how much they have to pay the black ppl to be employed there … bc ain’t no way

“I was gonna pay Kavaughn, but I’m not paying you,” I say. “If you really want to help, you can think of this work as reparations.”

Not reparations 😂😂😂😂

Gifford Place OurHood post by Josie Ulnar: This evening when I was walking home from work, I noticed a group of men in hoodies riding their bikes slowly up and down the street. I’m not sure if they were casing houses or if it’s part of the gang initiations that apparently happen at this time of year, but I did call it in to the police.

What????

Kim DeVries: I’m with Josie. There have already been several break-ins over the last few weeks and gangs plan robberies for three-day weekends, when people are away and no one is really paying attention.

So you an expert on gang robberies?? Aw ok
