Niecy Nash headlines a satirical public service announcement for 1-844-WYT-FEAR (1-844-998-3327), playing a woman who invents a hotline for white people to check on black people they encounter (instead of calling 911). In reality a telephone hotline has been created for people to recount experiences of racism and racial profiling. The video also stars Jenn Lyon (also from Claws) and recounts different ways black people have been profiled this year.
