This weekend, I was on my way home. I saw a white family in their car (shielded) taking a tour through the black neighborhoods. They were just looking around, seeing residents go on about their business. I guess they were looking around to prove their stereotypical views, intending to re-enforce stereotypes and their racist gene onto their kids, generation after generation. It's understandable that racial paranoia is common.
Now usually when non-whites venture into upper class or upscale neighborhoods, they're thinking how nice the neighborhood looks and how exciting it is and not thinking which race in predominated in the area. When whites venture into non-white neighborhoods, they're just looking at minorities in hopes of proving their stereotypical views. I swear, racism and stereotypes have got to be a genetic trait.
So because you saw a family in a black neighborhood, they must be racists. You got all that from one car load of Caucasians?
I'm white (from all appearances), and I used to work in black neighborhoods. I don't mean so-so neighborhoods; I mean south central "in da'hood" areas. One morning I watched a gang of a about six guys chasing after a couple of guys while firing guns at them, no more than 100 feet from the home I was working on.
The people who live in these areas were some of my best customers. Aside from the random violence, I loved working for them and would do it again. The point; you have no clue why they were driving through the area. It makes you appear racially motivated to post such a diatribe.
Well, then you need to stop listening to your buddy - who is clearly a bit racist, and not the sharpest tool in the shed. Not sure how that means he's "thinking like a woman," though, since I am a woman who thinks he is being ridiculous.
Maybe they were driving to Rosa Parks Station to get on the Blue Line for an enjoyable day in downtown LA sans a vehicle? Lot's of possibilities.
A TON of possibilities.
(But I don't think the OP wants to hear about those. My MIL used to tutor students at the library near there. Nice, white lady in her Hyundai. Who knew she was being profiled?)
Every single day, usually multiple times. I live in Harlem basically right on 125th (the commercial heart of the neighborhood - Apollo theater and everything), and buses filled with white gawkers tour through constantly.

From a POV I've been through most of South LA area a lot of times and really haven't seen any except those in police uniforms, at least in the 2000s.

Curious how you can know why they were there or what they are thinking?
Did it occur to you that maybe they could have been visiting someone in the area?
