A Missouri woman says a piece of fried chicken was thrown into her car because she is black.
Fox 2 Now in St. Louis reports that Alexis Newsome was sitting in traffic with her child in the back seat when the chicken was hurled into her car. She believes it because of the color of her skin.
“I don’t want to have to explain this to my five-year-old this is not fair,” she said. “I was scared. I almost crashed into the car next to me. … I want people to understand what this feel like what it’s like It’s not easy living in this brown skin.”
Manchester police officials are reviewing surveillance video to locate a red truck that may have been involved in the incident. Newsome said she was so shocked by the incident she didn’t get a better look at the car.
“It’s almost something I cannot put into words about how I feel as a mom and a woman of color. I want people to have those conversations with people that if they hear a joke, it’s not funny. We are not doing that, we are not going to speak like that. I want people to combat all those types of hate,” she said.
