I am a 55 year old African American and trying to jump me could fulfill all those needs in their eyes....except for the fact that I look and carry myself like I don't take no slit. However, my thing is just to find a different path and not have to test walking through them. That having been said, I avoid groups of drunken white young adults and teenager equally as well.
Maybe you could start classes for white people on which blacks to avoid. You begin with bunches under age 25 hanging out after 11:00 pm. Is it safe at 8 pm ? If there are 4 who look 13-15 years old ? If the bunch is across the street, should the white guy hustle in the opposite direction ?

I have no proof that all the victims were white, or every attacker was black. I know black young adults walk alone carrying cell phones. It would be quite the coincidence if none were victims of these attacks.

btw, you do know that a white person who admitted going out of their way to avoid a group of black youth would be called a racist.

Hey...here is news flash. THEY CARRY GUNS TOO!!!!



It amazes me the number of people who think carrying a gun is actually going to help them most of the time. I am from Detroit. People got robbed and jumped while armed all the time. In fact, people just assume that you are armed in Detroit. That don't stop them from trying to rob you though. Its the element of surprise that they always have. Then they check you for guns. Then after they rob you...they make you RUN away....not walk. Its hard for you to fire off shots or pull something out while you are running.



I don't have a problem avoiding places and certain types of people.....as long as there are other options. I know who I am.....I am not trying to prove anything to myself or others. I am not a "bad azz" and don't pretend to be. I guess I just developed a look from growing up around it.



With you....the thing that is more likely to happen is that you will shot someone who was not actually going to do you bodily harm. For a gun to give you the advantage....you have to be pro active and go on the offensive FIRST. A seasoned thug is not going to give you that opportunity to pull your weapon. Don't fool yourself. They will keep the element of surprise and if they know or think you are armed they will strike in a way that will daze you or ensure you will be shot if you try to react by pulling a gun. You must think you are a quick draw artist of the wild West.

Again....stop living in "what if land"....unless you are going to consider the what if blacks were not oppressed by whites in this country. If you include that "what if" then your what if would not even exist as a contemporary issue.

If it's hate crimes against whites the liberals and the media aren't interested. That is what is taught in your mandatory diversity training workshops.

Good points. There are, however, many instances in which citizens HAVE successfully defended themselves with handguns.


The best thing to do is to avoid areas in which there is a higher likelihood of being assaulted/mugged. If you are going into an area known for violence, one has to wonder about your judgement.


My oldest son was robbed at gunpoint at a Walgreens. He has a concealed carry, but it did him little good when the hood rat put a gun to the back of his head. He calmly told the rat where his wallet was and proceeded to instruct the cashier to stop screaming. He reached over the counter, opened the register, then gave the contents to the two robbers- they left without shooting. He was wearing a rolex (worth more than the loot they took) and they didn't even bother. They did pinch his gun- I told him he was lucky they didn't use it on him.


When the cops questioned him (looking at the video) they were surprised how calm he was under the circumstances. He responded that he had a lot of practice- they didn't grow up with his dad (me). I thought that was hilarious (and no- I am not an abusive father, just a disciplinarian).

So if they are all Somalis you still want to blame whites? You can't make this stuff up folks.


We allow in Somali refugees and types like IS blame whitey for when they go rogue. I don't make excuses for these scum bags.

I dont understand why people dont take their personal safety more seriously. I'd never consider visiting or living in a high crime area. I even check where I go on vacation.

One quick tip. When blacks move in and integrate a community where whites live....don't move out. Get to know them. That is how I got to know blacks.....by living among them, going to school with them, going to church with them, attending functions with them, etc. Stop sheltering yourselves in exurbia and then coming downtown and not being able to differentiate between the good and the bad without blanket assumptions about race in general.

I responded to someone who said....."what if it were a group of whites jumping blacks....". My response was to explain why and how HISTORY created what is seen as a Double Standard. If that history did not exist in this country......the perceived double standard of today would not exist either.
