One of the best things about black folks — and there are a lot of dope things about us — is our ability to turn a frustrating situation into a funny one. One woman decided to turn the recent string of Caucasian copy-cops into a poignant moment of reversal.

Idk about y’all but when she said “take it in the house now” it reminded me when I was a kid & my mom used to yell “get your ass in the house now” at me

This sister pulled up to a few white kids selling some product by the roadside — perhaps lemonade — and immediately asked them for their permit, referencing the #PermitPatty incident, in which a former cannabis company CEO called the police on an 8-year-old black child selling water.
The black woman asked the confused white children if they had a permit, and when they didn't produce one, she threatened to call the police. Of course, the children became upset. However, right before they thoroughly freaked out, homegirl was like, "Sike!" and pulled out some cash to pay for their product.
Well played, sis. Well played.
As everyone was curious, the Twitter user who posted the video on Friday, July 27, @Briiseppe, confirmed she wasn't the woman in the video.
Omfg I am NOT the girl in the video so stop saying it’s me.

We weren't the only ones who enjoyed the show, either!
I was just about to go into a lecture about how we should be better than the people that’s doing this to us and how it’s not the kids fault and blah blah blah. Then that twist at the end made me happy

Typically I’m all for fighting petty with petty,and although the police being called has way darker and scarier implications when called on black folk I love the strength in being able to make a joke of how dumb the permit pattys of the world are

Others were tired of black folks always having to be the ones to "go high" when they "go low:"
