Hundreds of people in a Tennessee man's community are marching by his side after he shared his fears of walking in his neighborhood because he is Black

Shawn Dromgoole, 29, grew up in the 12 South neighborhood in Nashville, where his family has lived since 1966 when his grandmother bought a home there. They were once surrounded by other Black families, businesses and communities -- and for decades, they felt like they belonged. But 54 years after his grandmother first moved there, Dromgoole said he felt like he couldn't even safely take a walk in his neighborhood without fearing for his life.

"But after his social media post went viral, he started feeling differently about his community. Hundreds of people in Nashville are now joining the Walks With Shawn. Dromgoole has has held another four walks in his neighborhood, with about 300 people attending each one. One of the bigger walks attracted more than 800 people.Kerry Conley, one of his neighbors, said she found out about Dromgoole after reading his post on Nextdoor.

Fucking joke! Does CNN ever tell the truth

They should only fear the BLMTerrorists and this FakeNews BS by CNN!

That is the saddest statement made by an American citizen in this country. Fear of his own fellow country men. When an American feels he has lost his or her freedom, we are all in big trouble.

Ooooo. Now do a white person in Minneapolis. Yeah that will never happen.

Oh and white people thank you for walking this guy through the valley of death. Just kidding you're all idiots the this guy forget it nevermind

I began to see white People differently after watching George Floyd beg for his life under a white cops knee and cops they r corrupt most racist not so proud of my Country HouseDemocrats RepJeffries AttorneyCrump donlemon MSNBC repjohnlewis ABC RepSwalwell JoeBiden

That is because he is afraid of his own people.

This is so great..

Don't worry man. White is afraid in walking in many communities more

Attention seekers. CNN I hope one day you will be made illegal. I AM BLACK FYI

Fire Van Jones Immediately

If he walks more he will lose that weight and he won't have to worry about dying from heart disease

Sounds like he was imagining things.

Really?

A completely fabricated tale by CNN ( Communist Network )

Delusion from reality !

Stop breaking the law!!

Wonderful glad to see the support for you.

This would never happen if it were a white man in his neighborhood. Blacks would beat him up not walk with him. What a shame they have become.

Nothing about this on CNN?

That’s because he listens to propaganda.

I am afraid of walk out because I am not a black now. CNN, put this great contry in trouble. God will punish evil.

Lol. This is getting comical. Drama Kings.

BS

He's scared of getting shot by his black people.

Meanwhile in Chicago, a 1 yr old shot & killed, 10 yr old shot & killed, 8 yr old shot, in less than 24hrs.

👏👏👏👏👏

🤔 If a white man says this, isn’t he considered a racist?

At least 45 people were shot, including 11 fatally, between Friday evening until Sunday morning in Chicago, according to Police.

F that crap

The country I know and love ❤️

I have walk my country side north Georgia neighborhood, trails, streets, not once have I feared for my life. All the “white” people I have met sometimes we say hi sometimes we don’t. To be honest I don’t care one way or the other. Attention seeker.

✊🏻✊🏾

So fake

Maybe blacks need to think how much they are bringing on themselves even more

BS THIS is FakeNewsCNN Propaganda, The FEAR arises when White people R confronted by Black BLMTerrorist . Watch Twitter & all the Vicious Assaults by Black Militants on Helpless White population BlackVoicesForTrump Blacks commit 50% of ALL CRIME with only 13% population

The Bubba Wallace of walkers.

In these difficult times America still has good people everywhere. Things like this give me hope we will become a better nation and a shining light to this world. God bless America.

YEAH......SURE......

Damn in 2020. This is crazy.

CNN: 'Black man says it rains on black people more because most TV weather presenters are white.'

Cute but how many are going to vote in favour of reform?

CNN so sucks. All y’all do is insight racial violence. This man is scared to walk down the street my butt. He wanted fame and used this as a way to do it. Good job CNN!

Every child of any color wants to get something for thier mother on mothers day and no child when asked at 14 what they want to be answers, homeless. So what as a society are we doing? Why do we let those distract us from the real issues.

🤪

🙄

If we only had a black president to fix all this

Staged.

Embarrassing! Our ancestors did not go through the white terrorism that they went through so that we could act like weak wusses!

More fake fears for 15 minutes of fame. More fake news also

Use the buddy system, go with a friend

Now tell him to walk down south side Chicago and see how he feels

Please like and drop comment on “shawty“ frystle video. Thank y“all. KOL

In the year 2021 my grandchild asked: But grandad how did you learn the real agenda & decide what to think if you switched off The TV & CNN? I replied: Dear grandchild I learned the real agenda & learned to think by switching off The TV & CNN & started reading facts 🙏 DefundCNN
