For some reason, I highly doubt you look like much of a threat or carry yourself as one.


You're so confused, it's almost comical.


White people don't just see black and take caution ... it's about attitude and how people are carrying themselves/acting.


We take caution when white people are acting 'strange,' too.

This exactly ^^^

I was so proud of our country and voted for Obama the first time. Race relations were the best in my long lifetime. Now it’s become the WORST in my long lifetime (68years)
Thanks, democrats....

Perhaps. Could you provide statistics? I’d be willing to bet the crime among the black underclass is skyrocketing in general.

Also, crime needs to be categorized properly. If the person is half-white, it is not simply black-on-white. Many whites conveniently claim biracial white/black people. They are white too, even including when they commit crimes. They are also both when mixed with other groups, not just black.

You are probably correct in your concern. But a positive outcome may be normal regular blacks like yourself will stop voting for democrats who ignore, pander, and even glorify thug culture.
I find Conservative blacks now like Tim Scott, Candace Owens, Ben Carson etc. to be the most exciting and interesting political movement going.

I'lll add this to my previous post.

Had six white teens beaten up a black girl, it would have been national news. And you know it.

And it would have been prosecuted as a hate crime, even absent any evidence other than their skin colors.

Four White youths killed two Black men in Joliet, IL. It never made the national news.

Biden just said that white supremacy is the BIGGEST THREAT to America.
27 blacks were shot in Chicago over the weekend by other blacks. Thousands of black on black murders every year.
Name ONE black killed this year by a white supremacist group.
Okay, maybe there is one somewhere.
