Letter from Buffalo
Hello Colin!
Let me just start by saying thank you so very much for all that you do. Your a personal hero of mine . Your work has saved countless lives and has made the world a better place. I would love to help any way I can. I have your merch and display it proudly.
I understand your working on a new book and would like material regarding people’s experiences with BMV.
Part 1. My introduction to black kids in school. In elementary I had an incident with a “lovely lady”. In the library she came up out of nowhere and slapped me in the face 3 times. I was in shock and didn’t know what to do. I’ve never experienced anything like it and I was taught not to hit a woman. Years later she ended up stabbing me in the ass with a needle while I was walking up the stairs.
Later in elementary a black boy started a fight with my friend. He grabbed my friend and threw him. His head hit a cement wall. My friend, being in a daze got up and combed his hair! lol. He was out of school with a concussion for a few days.
My other friend was slammed into the auditorium chairs unprovoked. A miracle he didn’t break his back.
Part 2. High school. Long story abbreviated, tons of argy bargy. I was jumped, my cousin Kenny was jumped, I was robbed at knifepoint, I had and m-80 thrown at me that exploded at my feet and made me deaf for a day. I was threatened, intimidated etc.
One white kid was punched in the face every day on the bus. Police called to the school and followed the school bus home on a daily basis.
Part 3. In the hood. I was walking home and 4 fellas got out of the car and started chasing after me until a pitbull came out of nowhere and scared them off. I was riding my bike and 20 to 30 fellas came out of the wood work and started chasing me. They threw a board at me and hit me in the elbow.
Driving to work I was stopped at a red light and a fella jumped into my car and demanded $ . I had no cash so he got away with my ring.
Yes there is more like the time my brother had his tooth knocked out or when the teacher got choked out in the lunch room , or when the fellas threw chicken bones thru my open car window at me or when I’m driving to work and my car is getting pelted with bbs and the countless fights I got into to defend myself.
Also when the fellas tried robbing a car from next door to my buddies and we chased them away but not until after they hit my buddy with car then they came back with a gun the next day. My buddy punched the guys with the gun and they took off thank God. …just sayin I’ve had my fair share.
Thanks again and keep up the good work!
