27. I once was in Cour d Alene Idaho for a wedding

The wedding was in the evening so my husband and I drove around the area during the day and saw a fair. We decided to check it out as we were parking I noticed people dressed in white and the more I focused on them I realized they were the KKK. I froze in fear and told my husband to drive away from there quickly because I am a light skinned black women I knew this was not the place for me to be. My husband is white and didn't understand why I was so anxious to get the hell out of there. It turned out we had drove to nearby Hayden Lakes which is a white supremacist area.

This picture reminded me of that incident. I laugh about it now but I was really scared that day.

I have gotten the stink eye from white racists because I look like I could be many different nationalities. I see them looking at me trying to figure out what I am. The only place that never happens to me is in Europe.
