Black celebrities tell their first experience with racism pt. 1
These stories i’m going to share with you are about how you can face racism in America. And how shocking it can be. From spitting into a can of coke to throwing someone out to the street for nothing, just because their skin color differs from white. Here comes the first part. A story of Van Jones, who once had his coke mixed up with white people’s saliva. This is unbelievably disgusting.
Van Jones, CNN commentator: “There was a young white girl sitting next to me and she reached for the Coke can. And the guy said, ‘No. No. No. Don’t drink that.’ It felt a little awkward, but I drank my Coke and we kept talking. And then we got on the buses and we went back home. The young white girl started crying, and I asked her what was wrong. And she said, ‘They told me later that everybody in the room spat in your Coke while you were outside. And that’s why they didn’t want me to drink out of that can. And I’m so sorry.’”
