However, his encounter with the advisor’s office wasn’t as pleasant and seamless as he deserved it to be.

In a story featured on Complex’s web site, Mr. Bruce was patiently awaiting assistance from his advisor, when a white woman approached him saying that the police will be called on him for sitting in the lobby of the office waiting for assistance. Mr. Bruce took to Twitter and posted screenshots of his correspondence with the school:

If you watch the video in the story above, it will clearly show that Mr. Bruce calmly waited in the lobby, but was aggressively approached and threatened by the woman who called the police on him. This just goes to show yet again that many members in the dominant society are coming at us from every angle, even if it entails discouraging our youth’s academic progress.
