How ‘Gardening While Black’ Almost Landed This Detroit Man in Jail - Sensationalist Headlines

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/26/us/white-women-calling-police-black-men.html DETROIT — For nearly two years, a man tilled an overgrown park in a half-abandoned Detroit neighborhood into a tiny urban farm, filling the earth with the seeds of kale and spinach and radishes. He was black. For half of that time, the man, Marc Peeples, 32, was the subject of dozens of calls to the police — the allegations growing more serious with each call — by three women who lived on a street facing the park. They were white. Mr. Peeples said he returned to the neighborhood where he grew up to create a garden that could help feed residents, chip away at food deserts and teach children about urban horticulture — a personal redemptive mission after three years in prison on drug charges. What happened next was something else: gardening while black, as his lawyer described it, another example of white people calling the police on a black person for everyday activities.

In one example that came out in court, Ms. Nash admitted she hired Mr. Peeples to paint a house after she accused him of threatening her. These three women are so fucking dumb that goes beyond the general stupidity of racism and filing false reports.

I'll never understand how someone can be such a shit that they'd call the police over someone literally existing

There is some miserable fucks on this Rock. And their only source of enjoyment is dragging everyone else down into their desolate abyss of Misery.

Because all they know about blacks are what they here on the internet, TV, and/or misrepresented statistics, such as blacks commiting a higher proportional amount of crime than any other race. They're literally afraid to be near them because they believe they'll be robbed or raped at any moment. And if they care enough to not appear racist, they'll defend themselves by saying, "obviously not all blacks are bad. There's some good ones."

I think the people doing these urban gardens are doing a great thing. But Detroit is very unstable with lots of abandoned property which attracts drug dealers, gangs and such and if thst picture represents whst he wears i would understand why people would feel intimidated. Still, i hope that he snd others continue the effort to start these urban farms so we humans can get bsck to our roots. Commercial mass farming id not the way farming is supposed to be, isolating ourselves from our food sources.

You mean a hoodie and a beanie in late october?

Youre intimitaded by guys wearing a beanie while planting daisies? damn, must be hard to live with this weird phobia

Intimidated? Did you read the article? They used the police like henchmen for a whole year by lying about what he was doing.

For half of that time, the man, Marc Peeples, 32, was the subject of dozens of calls to the police How the fuck are these women not behind bars for false reports? Miserable shits can't leave this man alone for simply existing and hell, providing alot more public good to the neighborhood than these three bitches.

Woah woah woah don't drag me into it!

Huh, literally the plot of Black Jesus except this guy probably isn't Jesus. Some people just suck. Dude just wants to grow some vegetables and cock fondlers are out trying to get him arrested for it, wonder who the bad guy in that situation is.

if he was white wearing a hoodie and beanie would you still feel intimidated?

Oh I get it now

Hoodie while black

"Black people scare me." This is literally what I was talking about in my post.

Tempted to move to Detroit just to help this guy with his garden, sounds down to earth tbh.

yeah me too Spoiler : it's because they are fucking racist

If he isn't wearing cargo shorts and a hawaiian shirt whilst tending to his spinach patch in winter, he must be a drug dealer. It's just a fact....

Okay, have fun, let us know when your at the airport before you take off

I wish smartness was still a thing so you'd just get banned every time you made a post.

Don't you have more shit "thought provoking" threads to spam Polidicks with?

Do you take everything literally?

Yes... hipsterphobia.
