Bank Calls Police on Black Man Because of Paycheck
Once again the police are called on a black person for doing what white people enjoy doing without interference. Imagine walking into a bank to cash your paycheck and ending up humiliated, handcuffed and placed in the back of a cop car. The offense? Banking while being black.

Hopefully the whole #WhileBeingBlack phenomenon will be a thing of the past in 2019. For those who haven't the slightest clue of what #WhileBeingBlack is it's the offense of doing anything while being a black man, woman or child. What are your thoughts? Were the bank employees just being extra vigilante or does the whole ordeal have racism all over it?
