Ignorance

Sheldon and I were talking about some Zimmerman trial juror quote and Sheldon said he felt that Trayvon Martin was doomed the moment Zimmerman decided to stalk him.  I said, "Maybe he could have saved himself, maybe he could have called the police... Sheldon interrupted and said, "Sweetie, Black people don't call the police."  I never actually realized that was a thing.  I thought everyone who wasn't a criminal could just call the cops if they needed help.  I feel a little foolish for thinking that way.
