Warning: Pokemon GO Is a Death Sentence If You Are a Black Man

There is a good point made here (that black people are unwelcome in many desirable spaces and that Pokemon GO makes people behave oddly).

The title is clickbait, though. It should be something like, "Pokemon GO could get a black man killed".

I think it's a decent illustration of the fact that chilling effects of racial profiling are even more omnipresent that outright profiling.

As a white male, there aren't many situations where I have to think "How are people going to perceive my being in this public space?"

And that's absolutely unjust.

Second that it's very clickbait-y — Just trying to profit off the visibility of combining two hot topics in the media.
