Oh, that doesn't sound racist at all.

Q: Is it your fear of getting pummeled by a scary black man/woman the reason for such a needless call to the 911? Or is it your way of gleefully upsetting these strangers whom you just can't stand just for kicks? (I'm just trying to see how the mind of your kind operates.)

I bet you're just clamoring to call the cops on some unsuspecting black jogger or FedEx delivery guy next week, aren't ya?

Just remember to come back and revel in all the support and deflection you'll get from your fellow pathétiques here on C-D.

It has always been this way, going back to when the USA became a country. Nothing new.

That is painful to watch. Poor old man accidentally bumps a kid when passing on the sidewalk and gets his head bashed with a concrete block and banged up on by 4 adults.

I've gotten that "suspicious person" call before. I was on a college campus riding my bicycle at night. No stealing, no vandalizing cars. No peaking into cars. Just riding my bicycle through campus. Someone called the police. There were drunk students around at midnight, and somehow me riding my bike rose suspicion. While that was a rarity, it was disturbing for me. I talked to another man about this. He said that if saw someone out that late, he would call the police.

Because someone who is going to rob the place would never shoplift soda? Why can't both of those be in the picture?

I would at least wait until after he hands me my package!

if you're suspicious, call the police.

The employee was may have been another Black. Would that make a difference?

There are some Black people who don't like other Blacks and will treat them poorly. And remember this. Some persons of foreign Black descent look down on American Blacks.

This article is old, but it does highlight the tensions that have existed between Black Americans and Haitians in Miami: https://www.nytimes.com/1989/02/19/u...an-blacks.html


Here is a more recent article: American blacks, Haitians clash at politcal forum | South Florida Times
