“Are y’all fighting?”The officer said he had received reports of black women fighting on the side of the highway, Harrell said. Or, as fellow Sigma Gamma Rho sorority member Britni Danielle wrote on Twitter: “Add ‘performing community service while Black’ to the list of things that make you suspicious.”“Performing community service” would be another eye-rollingly bizarre entry into the list of things that have put black people under the suspicious gaze of neighbors, colleagues and police — some cases so absurd they would be funny if they were not soul-suckingly demoralizing and potentially deadly. Add "performing community service while Black" to the list of things that make you suspicious. Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority had gotten word of the incident and demanded an apology.
