This is such a symbolic example of what it means to be a Black man in a racist society. You are already perceived to be the aggressor—violent, criminal—and all rationality is suspended to make you into that thing. While you are trying to explain that you are actually the victim, you are being attacked. So even though you are being labeled the aggressor, you’re actually the victim. And it could be revealed instantly that you are the victim (literally, check the bag), but the people around have suspended reality because, to them, you MUST be the aggressor and there is no possible world in which you are not.
And you have to maintain your calm and withstand physical attacks because if you don’t, then you risk being killed—and it will then be justified because they’ll say you were the aggressor.

NOT EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT FOOD STAMPS & RAMEN NOODLES. AND SOME DON'T KNOW ABOUT WALKING TO THE LAUNDROMAT WITH BIG BAGS OF CLOTHES, BOILING WATER ON THE STOVE FOR BATHS, AND LIGHTING CANDLES IN THE HOUSE BECAUSE THE POWER WENT OFF & NOT BECAUSE IT WAS STORMING.
SOME DON'T KNOW ABOUT HAND-ME-DOWNS, SECOND-HAND CLOTHES, OR SLEEPING ON THE COUCH OR THE FLOOR. SOME DON'T KNOW ABOUT GETTING GROCERIES AT A FOOD PANTRY OR WAITING IN A LUNCH LINE FOR A MEAL, OR TURNING THE OVEN ON TO HEAT THE HOUSE. SOME DON'T KNOW ABOUT HAND WASHING CLOTHES IN THE TUB OR IN THE SINK AND DRYING THEM ON A CLOTHESLINE.
SOME DON'T KNOW ABOUT SHOWERING AT SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE. IF YOU HAVEN'T STRUGGLED, I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND.
