Why Do You Only See Me as Big, Black, and Scary?

I’ve heard it all. And if the past designs the future, I expect to hear it all again:

“We need someone to stand by the door.”

“You’ve done time, right?”

“Hey, we’re having trouble with this guy. You can take him.”

“Don’t hurt me; I don’t have any money.”

“Man, you’re big. People must be scared of you.”

Being the recipient of such discrimination is taxing.
