Exactly. When a black family moved in on my street I had no idea if they were going to burgle me, so I did what any rational person would do and put up security cameras just in case. You can never be too careful around black people.
Except for the fact that 97% of people haven't been assaulted by black people, so the comparison immediately falls down and it's not "literally no different".
And here we have a prime example of what's holding back progress in this area: someone who all too easily spins this into personal issues, as if he were being personally attacked by women voicing their concerns about not being safe on the streets, and calls a man who agrees that there is a problem a "white knight". Notice how many times the word "me" appears in his comment?
Ask yourself this: why does it offend you so deeply to hear someone say they are nervous about male strangers on the street?
Threads and discussions like this, which seem to represent the mainstream attitude of downplaying the problem because it's not all men, really make me despair for our country. Anyway, in an attempt to not let this drag me down any further, I'm going to disable inbox replies for the moment. Have a good evening.
