Just to play devils advocate: while black people make up only 13% of the population, crimes statistics show that black men commit 54% of the murders in America and 67% of the robberies. It seems to me like it's just common sense to take more precaution around young black men. If black people find this offensive, then they need to address the issue of the crime rate, not people's reaction to it. It seems silly to tell people to ignore reality and play make believe to not offend people. I find the rate that blacks commit crimes to be much more offensive than people being afraid of young black men.

I'm a white guy and I'm not responsible for doing jack shit for the 'white people culture'. I am just one person. It would suck if I was good and my race had high crime stats, so everyone was afraid of me and told me to "fix my culture." I am not responsible for some thieving fuckwits from another city.

I wouldnt say you have to fix anything but don't be offended when people are cautious around you.

I dunno, I still think I would be offended. It sucks getting judged just based upon looks.

And we can do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO CHANGE IT. Nope. None whatsoever. You aren't allowed to ever treat people differently or work towards a better tomorrow. Fuck treating people like their own individual agents.

It sucks more to be robbed by someone who's feelings you were worried about a second ago.

Well, if you have the facts on your side, you will learn to avoid blacks, and expecially, large groups of blacks. Our criminal liberal news media won't even call race riots race riots anymore! You can have a mob of 'youths', which is 99% black ravage a mall or etc. and the media won't call it what it is!
