Good point. Crazy can come in any ethnicity. Interesting you bring this up. Last Tuesday, there was a shooting at the Penske Truck Rental in Kennesaw,GA, less than a mile from where Kennesaw State University is. 3 people were killed. The person who did this was a 60 year-old White male. Wht is shows is that criminality comes in all colors. I was mugged by Black men in Kennesaw a few years ago. Am I afraid of Black men? No. I know it was just those three men who were acting like fools that night. Am I going to be scared of White people because of the White male who caused a workplace shooting last week? No. I pretty much exercise the "fair game rule" at night. Anyone can be a criminal regardless of race and anyone can be a nice person.

white, black, Asian, Indian, Latino, etc....yes, if they loook shady...You are stupid not to cross the street if you get a bad vibe from someone. Don't become a victim to political correctness. Sometimes, you should trust your intuition.

Be honest.
If you mean like at a mall where you have to either walk through or go around a group of black men? I walk through them and acknowledge them with a smile. I refuse to be intimidated by groups of any color. I do see people particularly in areas such as malls avoid walking through a crowd of young people/teens whether black or white the thug mentality of the mall dwellers exist. Now if I meet a black man on a dark street..yes I am scared because 1. I am female 2. because of the profiling

just keeping it real.

"“There is nothing more painful for me at this stage in my life,” Jesse Jackson said several years ago, “than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery—and then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” Jesse Jackson.

Blacks wont waste anytime in killing you.
In NYC...are you serious!! What type of blacks are you talking?? In NYC there are different types of dark skinned people there. Are you afraid of all black people or all dark skinned people?? NYC is full of everything. Most of the time you don't know what the person is until he open his mouth. BTW: Most of NYC is a ghetto/project. You should never come out.

Honestly, yes I work with a black guy. Honestly, I'm afraid of him. I'm afraid of his big black p****. I said, I'm nervious. Why? Because I think you may hurt me. He said, I just might.

No, not scared around regular, nice people. I am however cautious around anybody that has the gangster/thug look or anybody that eyeballs me in the wrong way. Being careless can get you shot or jumped here in Los Angeles.

That poster is a self-hating racist. Check his history.

I am a white female. Sorry, but being on guard is more important to me than being politically correct.

And of course that has nothing to do with who puts who in prison..........
