I was referring more to nywriterdude. But who said that? Hilltopjay? Don't worry about him. He says stuff like that all of the time. He also claims to be black.

No actually it was a different screename but he never responded back so it doesn't matter.

You'd have to go into hiding, period.

You'd never understand the concept of situational awareness, so I won't bother explaining. I know you won't believe me, but my mindset comes from 15+ years of constant training and preparedness across various self-defense disciplines. I understand completely when people like you can't comprehend what I'm saying, that's a perfectly natural reaction to seeing, hearing, or experiencing something or someone that you've never encountered before.

It's not about being a tough guy, it just IS.

Right. Let's DO argue that it's not culture, that all about some sort of "black race."

It will continue to come as a surprise to people, I think, that not all black people have the same point of view.

You're a man who deluded himself into thinking he's SuperMan. Btw, military people have been taken by surprise too (by terrorists or others) so there is no foolproof training that make you invulnerable to crime, outside of the spy movies.

If you believe all that you're saying, you should be perfectly fine living in the worst part of Brownsville. Except you'd never do that, because you know its not true. They'd waste you.

Ok. As I said, your failure to understand is a perfectly natural reaction.
