Many white folk don't even know this history of why they feel so comfortable asking a Black person to prove that they belong in an area. But they participate in it.
If you are white in the US, think of how many times *in your entire life* that a Black citizen with no authority whatsoever, walked up to you, detained you, and demanded that you show ID.
The number of times is likely to be close to zero, even if you live in a majority Black neighborhood. It just doesn't happen in reverse. 🤷🏿♂️
