One guy stole $20 from me (I won't go into it) and I ADMIT after that I did feel a little wary of any black person who looked like him. He kept pestering me to buy a cellphone he had for $20 - I politely declined about four times but he kept insisting so I gave in (I was afraid something bad might happen). He took my money, said he needed to just 'make a call' and ran away with the phone and money. I, of course, didn't tell him what I was thinking: wondering whether he stole the phone (of course I'd think that if he was white too). Either way, it was in a dumpy part of Las Vegas that looked deserted and I was glad to just get out of there.

You've heard wrong. NOBODY gets to be racist. NOBODY.

This dude.^^^
More stupidity from the usual source. I don't start 90% of them and they reference articles and news not my personal experiences.

Sorry your community generates a disproportionate amount if crime and buffoonery but there you have it.

You're right...not 90%....you start nearly ALL of them.

My community? Last I remember, you were supposedly black. You attended Morgan, and live in a black area. I went to ASU, and live in a mostly white area...not to mention that if you have two African parents, you're blacker than I am (on the outside for sure).

It's YOUR community just as much as its mine. Don't get mad just because I'm pointing out the facts. And please, own up to your title of C-D's resident Chief Race Baitor! Why are you so ashamed of owning up to what you are?

Race baitor? Pointing out facts is just that pointing out facts. You're right because I have grown up, lived with and socialize with African- Americans I have a first row seat to the dysfunction. I know of what I speak.

So, you are blaming ALL Black people because you weren't being smart? Obviously you don't travel very much because the exact same thing can and does happen in Barcelona, Spain; Marrakesh, Morocco; Shanghai, China; London, England; etc, etc.

Correction: You have grown up with, lived with and socialized with the underclass. It is obvious that you have had very little interaction with the Black upper class. How sad for you.

lol. Edward is just mad because someone posted this before he did.

Oh and for the OP, nobody has ever given a black person a free pass to be racist. Hell, if leave my office right now and say something blatantly racist to someone, (I got whites, Indians, and Asians over here) I'm pretty sure someone would complain and I would be ostracized to say the least if not "penalized" for my racist verbiage.
