(obviously not gonna work all the time, but most of these are verified by people darker than me who don’t immediately come off as nerdy or harmless)

basically you gotta put white people at ease by seeming as childish and/or bookish as possible

- walk a dog. use a cloth leash, not a chain, have a cute looking collar on them.

- dress cute. like, have cartoon characters on you, wear a hat with cat ears.

- wear prescription/clear frame glasses

- say hi to as many people as you can (this can just be other black people, random old folks, dogs)

- basically seem like you have a purpose other than just to take a walk for your own enjoyment. go in stores, buy something.

- bring a non-black friend if you can

- avoid white neighborhoods, and unfamiliar residential areas in general

Someone was already stopped by a cop for playing Pokemon Go. She’s super scared.

MizCaramelVixen on twitter was stopped by cops while playing with her kid. She has a video talking about the encounter.

i’m not surprised, and like i said theres really nothing surefire you can do to avoid being stopped…

Sharing because there is a double standard. Black people shouldn’t have to take precautions to play a game, especially when we’ve already got stories of white people running into traffic and disrupting businesses to catch their pokemon.
