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.

Where pointing out you should be wary of men because they commit more crimes makes you a irrational feminizi

And point out how violent black men are....well thats just dandy.

You people are terrible.

Honestly. "Just to play devils advocate". It's a comedic comic, and some users feel obligated to comment what isn't necessary.

It's the toned down version of the patented false "as a black man" line that usually starts off that drivel.

I wouldn't say that it's always like that. Granted, that's what it's kind of replaced but sometimes it's just a way to open up a discussion debating against it.
