What's your experience being Black in Corvallis?

I walk a lot to clear my head and especially later at night because traffic dies and it’s quiet and peaceful. I’ve been spotlighted by police so many fucking times it’s ridiculous lol. They are aggressive and very demanding. Dead ass feels like a shake down every time. On top of that I’ve been belittled at work by older white people for simply being out of stock or something. One dude asked me if something was made by and I quote “those damn chinamen”. I got a speeding ticket and chatted to the blond hair blue eyed girl next to me in court found out we had the same ticket for the same speed infraction the judge gave me the full fine for a first offense and let her walk for a repeat offense. I hate it here and cannot wait to get the fuck out!
