#2: Elevator Drama

Even an elevator is unsafe for POC, especially Black men. It’s very easy to be accused of doing something inappropriate toward a woman in an elevator, which shows racism in our society. Unfortunately, it’s better to be safe than sorry by following this rule of avoiding encounters similar to this in an elevator.

Studies show that Black men are more likely to be arrested and convicted of crimes, even when compared to non-Black individuals who have committed the same offenses. It’s quite a tragic thing to encounter and hard to admit, but it’s the cold, hard truth. Hopefully, one day, things will be better.
