Your personal safety should always take precedence over hurting someone's feelings. People are way too sensitive nowadays anyway.

I think alot of people are very sensitive because of the stuff that went on back in the old days. Alot of people have hard feelings because of history.

White COPS and GOVERNMENT..has a loooooooooooooooooooooooong history of oppressing and killing black males in this country. It's very simple.

There are some whites and immigrants that can't believe it's true

Are you a black male? Do you live in an area where police brutality is a norm instead of the exception? If not, its no wonder

But you have to wonder why blacks should have to have "the talk" in the first place. If there was no racism the talk really would not be necessary

Racism has been an issue in American society, and it continues to be one today.
