A practical handbook for people who want to be safe and do something.

Racial profiling does happen. And while cases where victims find themselves looking down the barrel of a policeman's gun make the six o'clock news, dozens of less extreme, yet troubling, examples occur every day. Cabs that whiz by only to be seen stopping for "safer"-looking people just up the block; being asked for multiple pieces of identification when making purchases with credit cards; being followed around a department store by salespeople and security while never being asked if they need any assistance; being detained for hours and extensively searched in an airport or train station--Driving While Black clearly defines the system officially known as CARD (class, age, race, dress) and offers advice about how to handle potentially life-threatening situations with the police, as well as recourse for readers who suspect their civil rights have been denied due to racial profiling.

A book written to save lives, Driving While Black is not just for people of color, but for anyone who likes to wear a baseball cap, baggy jeans, sneakers, and a tee shirt and finds they are often treated like a "suspect."

I love it
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray, Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray
This pillow case helps keep me cool overnight. It's very comfortable. I've been sleeping on it every night for a long while now. Still holding up.

retty color, but the comfort isn’t there.
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray
I only received one pillowcase in my package, which was disappointing since it’s sold as a set of two. I’m also not a fan of this satin material — it runs hot and I end up sticking to it. The color is a pretty metallic silver, but the pillowcase itself feels cheap compared to brands like Kitsch. Overall, this one just isn’t for me.

Smooth Dreams & Frizz-Free Mornings
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray
These satin pillowcases are a total luxury upgrade without the silk price tag. The fabric feels buttery-smooth and cool against the skin—perfect for hot sleepers or anyone who loves that “fresh pillow” feeling all night long. I especially love how it helps tame bedhead and keeps my hair from getting tangled or frizzy while I sleep. The light grey color looks elegant and fits right into any bedroom style, and the envelope closure keeps the pillow snugly in place (no annoying slipping or bunching). They wash beautifully—no fading, pilling, or losing that silky finish. If you’ve been curious about silk pillowcases but don’t want the maintenance or cost, these satin ones are a perfect alternative. Cooling, soft, and hair-friendly—honestly, they make bedtime feel just a little more glamorous.

Luxurious look and feel
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray
These satin pillowcases in silver are so luxurious looking and feeling! I flop around at night and need a pillowcase like this to prevent the rats’ nests that form in my fine hair. The stitching is even and tight with no loose threads that I could see. The envelope pocket is plenty deep to keep your pillow contained. I didn’t see any washing instructions but from experience I will give them a quick handwashing in the sink and hang to dry.

Nice Idea, Disappointing Reality
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray
I really wanted to love these satin pillowcases, but they fell short. While they look nice at first and feel cool when you lay down, the material is very slippery and constantly slides around during the night. By morning, the pillowcase is usually twisted or halfway off the pillow. They also feel thinner than expected and don’t hold up well after washing, even on a gentle cycle. For the price, I was hoping for better quality and durability. They might work for occasional use, but they didn’t meet my expectations for everyday sleep.
