This post has gone viral

While I don't believe this man should feel fear walking alone in his neighborhood (and if there is a legit threat to his safety it's obviously terrible), there doesn't seem to be any evidence presented that it isn't just in his head. Could the media narrative be instilling and perpetuating fear inside his head, where no threat exists? That doesn't even seem to be a consideration for him.

"But without them by my side, almost instantly, I morph into a threat in the eyes of some white folks. Instead of being a loving dad to two little girls, unfortunately, all that some people can see is a 6’2” athletically-built black man in a cloth mask who is walking around in a place where he doesn’t belong (even though, I’m still the same guy who just wants to take a walk through his neighborhood)."

Also not sure what he means by "reverse racism isn't real" - is he trying to claim that no white person experiences racism?

Like he said, it is a bit melodramatic. He’s actually dressed like a jogger, not a >>>jogger<<<

There is no more exalted status than "victim" If he thinks that racism only goes white on black and that he thinks people see him as a "threat" if he's not with his daughter or dog then he's an idiot

There are certainly parts of the US I wouldn’t want to live in if I were black. It’s also true there’s areas I wouldn't want to live in as a white person.

So is it more dependent on skin color, or area (more specifically being a significant minority in that particular area)?

There should be an outrage of all the crimes blacks commit against whites and Hispanics. You cant play the victim and say your being hunted when the truth is closer to the other way around.

If black culture would put more emphasis on education and financial success then it wouldn’t seem strange to see a black man walking through a nice suburban neighborhood. Looting and rioting just enforces stereotypes that they are scary criminals. Not sure what else us white people are supposed to do. There are all kinds of incentives in all areas from college admissions to corporate hirings...they just gotta put in the work instead of blaming everyone else for their problems.

My sister today went to go pick up something from a ritzy neighborhood, she got out of her with her 3 kids (2 special needs adopted kids) and was approached by an older white lady asking what she was doing there and that the neighborhood doesn't want trouble or looters. She just continued to walk and ignored her. People really are crazy out there

thank the violent rioters and looters. They want equal treatment then act like animals. What do you think is going to happen when you burn down an entire city

I guess I just don't view all of these things as "atrocities". The 12 year old that was shot in the head, while walking to the gas station with his twin brother, around the same time as this thing blew up is an atrocity in my mind. But his GoFundMe has $3,000 towards a $8,000 funeral goal... while a man who has been involved in crime (sometimes violent) almost his entire life has over $2,000,000.

I obviously don't think he deserved to die, and I won't shed a tear for the cop if he gets thrown in prison for the rest of his life. But it really pains me to see people make it about human life in any capacity. None of these people really care about the people that died - and if they do, it's because they are very shallow humans with no scope. Be up front, I care about this human's life if it fits a social narrative. That is why this man's life matters to these people. And that's fine, but don't pretend you REALLY care about justice for this man.

They never found the person who shot the 12 year old in the head. But for some reason his life would have mattered if they found it had been a white person. That's pretty ****ed up to me. I don't attribute value to life based on the narratives it can serve me. ESPECIALLY when there is no evidence whatsoever that the narrative being put forth is legitimate.

I’ve always asked why people believe reverse racism isn’t real. I believe most thinkyou can only be prejudice to white people lol

Brb grew up in Detroit and had to run for my life due to being white and took the wrong turn.

I get racism will always exist. There’s just no need to be violent about it ffs. Still dislike racism tho

My sister is a recently separated Army officer, she has no reason to lie.

We have plenty of stories as a black family of issues in white neighborhoods (mostly by older white ladies) including one where IN UNIFORM we were both approached and told that we don't deserve to wear the uniform. Happened in Augusta, Georgia right outside Ft. Gordon.. chit happens everyday

A quick look at crime statistics paints a completely different narrative on who the actual victims are.

Statistics can't be racist, right Dems?

Gotta say it feels fuking great to be an outsider to all this race bullsh!t you're fanning up over there in the states, but you'll probably export that over here too.

I think people mean well when they say chit to us but don't realize how stupid it is. One of my first jobs I got approached by a white lady who wanted to thank me for not sagging my pants. I just bert stared her... she probably thought that was a nice thing to say and told all her friends how she met a "nice young black man today"

conversely my white mom lives in middle class black neighborhood and has been approached by older black women there who were enquiring why she walking there.


Ultimately, who gives a chit.
Sounds like this guy is in a similar situation to you. He presented no examples to show that his fear of walking alone is grounded in legitimate threat.

gnna be honest, if i see a random black guy in ghetto clothes (not like buddy in the op) walking around my neighbourhood, i stop and think about it.. obv not gonna overreact and call the cops or confront him like "we dont take kindly.." or anything but I will be like "hmmm who da fuk is this? have i seen him before?"

99% i wouldnt even notice if it was random decently dressed european guy or asian guy.


not sure if thats racism or not but im just being honest.
