Hello neighbors,
Why is it frightening for a tall Black man to knock on someone's door?
In the past, I've been a volunteer canvasser going door to door for a
variety of causes. I think it's fabulous when people answer the door and
dialogue for a minute or two about an issue. I've also quickly told
knockers that I'm not interested in whatever it is they wish to talk about,
ask for, or sell.
People chosing to do what makes them feel safe is important. But, it
concerns me that a good number of our emails are about people of color
deemed suspect - because they are people of color. In my mind, that is very
different than witnessing a wrongdoing and describing what one sees.

Anybody else have a knock on the door this early
evening from a tall
black
man in blue jeans, plain white shirt and white
shoes on? If I don't know
you, I don't answer the door so I don't know what this guy wanted. He
wasn't scared away by our massive dog trying to get him through the
window.
He stayed on the porch for a while and eventually
walked away north on
Marlborough while looking back. Anyone else?
