a divorce lawyer is far more scary than a poor uneducated teenager trying so hard to get some respect with a 9mm whose life is usually ended by someone just like him.

I believe women are more likely to get scared of Black men, no need to explain why. As a man, i don't have such fears.
Women are more scared of men in groups. Color and age don't have as much to do with it. Like it or not there can be a "pack mentality" among males that often leads to trouble they would never do on their own.
When meeting strangers on the street, you have nothing else to judge them on than the dress and "attitude" they give off. If a group of guys looks "rough" (and they can do that wearing very expensive clothing)...yeah, it makes me nervous.

No, I'm not afraid of young black males. I wear my 'game face' in public.

If so why are you scared?



Be honest.
No man should fear another man. If you fear black people you need help.

Think of it this way. Anyone (race, age, gender) can behave different when in a crowd of peers, take that same person in a scenario by themselves and they show their true colors. Young teens are heavily influenced by MTV, music and movies. It's normal for every race and gender, but more so with youth. If a young black kid looks or dresses a certain way, it's because they saw it as a style on MTV.

Unless someone points a gun at your cornea, then you can cry your fear song. 90% of people you meet on the streets are going to be nice to you unless you give them a reason not to.

You should consider what race is more than likely to be serial killers or in a mafia. It wont be black youth, that's for sure!

So are the majority of serial killers in a country where Whites are a minority, such as South Africa... Black or White?

The majority of violent crime is done by Blacks in this country despite comprising 13% of the population they commit a majority of the violent crime. The fact that this fact isn't widespread is ridiculous, because it certainly should be.
