When injustice happens to us, it always brings me back to that time I played a Trayvon Martin inspired character on Law & Order. I remember it vividly. I was 18 years old and a little before I landed the role, I was beat up and arrested by 5 white cops for NO reason. Man, that was my first real eye opener. To them we are just niggers. Well, that’s what they called me while laughing, as I was bleeding on the floor, handcuffed. Lucky for me, this was in public and everyone had their cameras out. This was before Eric Garner was killed. So I guess they weren’t as brave to actually kill someone on camera. Man, it isn’t easy for me to share this story because there is so much trauma that I sustained growing up with the brutality of these white supremacists.
Being on set of a huge TV show like this was quite new for me. Not gonna lie, I wasn’t treated kindly. I couldn’t put my finger on it. Was it because I was an unknown actor? Was it because the episode was so racially charged that the negative energy behind the scenes made me feel less than? Or was it because my co-workers were just method actors? That feeling of being just another nigger fluttered around the air once again. I got everything but respect. Maybe this was just the plight of trying to be a successful actor? Of course my intent isn’t to portray anyone working on that episode in a negative light, but my television debut actually made me sad.
In the script, a white woman and I were walking down the same street late at night, then moments later I ended up dead. My face on the dirty concrete. We must’ve shot the scene many times. During this time, everyone walking over me, not wanting to do anything with me.
I remember watching a Dave Chapelle interview where he spoke about shooting a scene about race and he heard a laughter which wasn’t what he was accustomed to. There was underlying cynicism to it….I heard the same laugh. It wasn’t by the actors, but someone in the crew. There’s nothing funny about innocent people getting killed.
When it was time for lunch, I went to the bathroom, locked the doors and just cried. I cried forever, man. There were so many thoughts going through my mind. I could’ve easily been killed if no one was around and I would’ve been another hashtag. You wouldn’t even be reading this right now.
At the end of the episode, the woman who kills me is found not guilty. I remember watching the episode at home torn apart, because I was sitting in the same seat where I found out that Zimmerman got off. Ice-T said a line at the end of the episode. Something in regards to “that’s just the way it is.”
I sat there in the dark for about 10 minutes, wondering to myself. Is this how it’s going to be for the rest of our lives? Well…..is it?

All Baltimore City public schools were closed on Tuesday in response to violent protests breaking out across the city in response to Freddie Gray’s death. About 84 percent of students in city’s public schools receive free or reduced-price lunches, according to the school district’s website. The closings mean that these students were unable to access these lunches, and churches and community centers have been scrambling to fill the gap.
