Talk about being questioned, I have to reconfirm myself everytime I want to leave a comment! Anyways, great points as usual. The bank thing, which I hadn't heard about, was completely idiotic. Saw Star Wars in Murray, KY with a cousin and aunt that are long gone. Had no clue of the movie and wow! Yes, those of us who lived it from beginning, we know. I wish I could say all the star wars content has been good enough to capture that old magic. I think it is almost impossible to capture lightening in a bottle twice. And don't post meal pictures like that without an invitation. Whatever was in the tinfoil platter looked quite good. Of course you know we need to lose some poundage.
My first job after college was as a bank teller. And after reading everything presented regarding Ryan Coogler, all I could think is there was nothing that would make me indicate that I was being robbed. Of course the teller would require authorization and tax forms because the withdrawal is greater than $10,000. That should’ve been the only “hold up“. The bank I worked for had branches in Texas. And there was an occasion where a player from the Dallas Cowboys happened to be in Montgomery and made a withdrawal. I completed his transaction and didn’t say a word until after he left. That is what should’ve happened in this case .
As I was traveling for work today I had another thought about this Ryan Coogler situation. I’m wondering if that young woman went to get the authorization because of the large amount and her supervisor made the call that they were being robbed. I’m wondering if Bank of America is making this young Black woman a scapegoat. I hope not, but in my spirit I think that is what is happening. I looked at the picture, and she appears to be pregnant. I have a feeling she’s about to be fired and put in a dangerous cycle of generational poverty for her and her child.

Yes. Which is why I'm not all jumping up and down about her losing her job. I just pray she has better situational awareness henceforth...
Great writing as always
