Tynesha Stewart was exceptionally bright and beautiful. She studied civil engineering at Texas A&M University. But a few years earlier, when she was still in high school, Tynesha met Timothy Wayne Shepherd. Timothy was 25, but that didn\u2019t stop him from pursuing Tynesha romantically. Their relationship soon turned abusive.\xa0

\nThen Kristin tells us about a case of racial profiling that\u2019s so scummy it\u2019s almost hard to believe. (But believe it, sister.) On September 4, 1992, an elderly white woman was attacked in her bed. She later told police that her attacker had been a black male. With little to go on, police decided to question every black male in Oneonta, New York. (And a few black women, because\u2026 why not?) The administration of SUNY at Oneonta aided the investigation by providing the names and addresses of all their black male students.\xa0

\nAnd now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
