Well if the majority of the crimes committed around you are committed by a particular race you'd be dumb NOT be "racist". I'm not going to be race shamed into pretending there's no difference between people because I'm 1000% going to think badly of criminals and the average street thugs no matter how many "systemic" excuses you have. If I have to "see and acknowledge race" all the time then this is what I'm going to see and acknowledge.

I know plenty of woke liberal techies shopping for houses in Marin and the East Bay because they're tired of their $3 million homes in SF being broken into. Crime in SF is actually committed by a lot of white druggies, and it's mostly property related, homicides are low, so to call concerns racist is even more absurd.

The big question is of course what came first the crime or the "oppressed" people that are responsible for it ?



I used to work a job that took me to some really nice places and then some really scary ones in the inner city. I can tell you that I was never asked to buy drugs, buy sex, buy stolen goods or had someone beg money from me in the nice, predominantly white towns. Is it the city? The neighborhood? or the dregs of society that hang out on the street waiting to seize on a situation that would benefit them? Is it that desperate people will do desperate things?



I always watched my back no matter where I was working through the night because there are just as many white criminals as black ones but when in the city I was on hyper alert because that is where the crime actually happened.

It is not racist to be leery of the unknown and it is just plain stupid to turn a blind eye and trust in the faith of your fellow man that you will not be attacked.



I'd like to see the fools that are pushing this nonsense walk through a high crime area (without an escort) and see what happens to them.

I shouldn't fear being the victim of a criminal. I should welcome it with open arms. Not to do so is racist.

I've walked all over San Francisco and it's a little different than other cities. Some of the worst parts of the city, especially around Tenderloin and Civic Center, aren't filled with gangs but a multi-gendered, multicultural mix of heroin addicts. It's more like the Zombie apocalypse where people of all races poop on the street, yell at people, and display their genitals. They often board buses and bring their act on the road, allowing residents of other parts of the city to enjoy the show.

Because the search for drugs goes everywhere, so do the broken car windows, which you see even in the swanky Marina. And there is no racism, the police allow perps to do this without regard for race, skin color, sexual preference, or even sexual perversion. All are given equal opportunity to break and enter and then go free.

I think this falls under the heading of "diversity and inclusion".

Did the original poster make mention of the color of the criminals or was it Kate Chatfield the senior official in the San Francisco District Attorney's office who suggested the color of the perps by linking Birth of a Nation to crime in the bay area?
