One sided historical perceptions of whites passed off as fact must end.
Have you, the OP, ever started a thread that wasn’t about the color of your skin? I’m just curious.
The best thing Blacks could do is to stop judging a man by his skin color before judging his character.....

. . . and that sir, is all they really want from whites.
If you woke up every morning, and when you stepped out the door, you had to be alert, and had to live with fear and dread when you entered certain areas of the city, or interacted with certain businesses in certain ways, if you didn't dress or talk the right way, it would be on your mind constantly as well.
yes--I agreeHave you, the OP, ever started a thread that wasn’t about the color of your skin? I’m just curious.
Have you ever been really good friends with a black man and spent a day walking in his shoes?

Hello, Mister B. It seems to me you could be describing a black American citizen choosing to peacefully pursue his or her own unique vision for L, L, (Love) and Happiness...
...yet when interacting with other black Americans could be viewed as acting "too white" or engaging in so-called 'white people behaviors."
Sadly, large numbers of responsible citizens, THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN, live with FEAR that fellow black or African American citizens will ostracize, bully, harass, intimidate and sometimes threaten violence against peaceful citizens choosing to pursue THEIR OWN unique vision for L, L, (Love) and Happiness.

blacks murder over eight other blacks every DAY
blacks murder at 4 times the rate of whites
blacks commit sexual assault and hate crimes at over twice the rate of whites
commit crime at much higher rates
I sure would fear/dread/be cautious around other blacks/blacks also

Yeah, I know.
Shit is unreal.
Whites would probably have similar statistics if the taxes they paid to cops weren't used for policing either.
Cops disproportionately police white communities and neglect poor communities.
The free market then determines that folks need to band together to form protection against criminals. GANGS. There you have your result.
You ever make friends with gang members? I have. Nice folks. You don't want to fuck with them though.
That has nothing to do with race silly. If you think it does, YOU are the racist. It has to do with poverty and the establishment giving preferential treatment to the upper and middle class neighborhoods.
Tell me, which demographic has the most economic disadvantages?
However, THAT is not what I am talking about. What I am talking about is the irrational fear that the white establishment stereo types the black man with, persecutes him, and then suffers no consequence after the innocent is persecuted.
#BankingWhileBlack: Bank Calls Cops on Man Because His Paycheck Was Too High
https://www.theroot.com/bankingwhil...fHE9SCuopfprg5qHbNM-8B7cFvjdYGSmX-9hjBpWuS1VI
". . . . One black man tried to go into a bank and conduct a legitimate transaction. He went through all the steps required by the bank. And not only would they not cash his check, but they also called the police, leading one to safely assume they thought Paul was a criminal. That is the only answer. The po-lice. The law. The “authorities.”
When the police arrived, with McCowns handcuffed in the back of the patrol car, cops were able to reach his employer. The employer then verified that the check was for the correct amount, the Brooklyn Police Department confirmed.
“My employer said, ‘Yes, he works for me, he just started and, yes, my payroll company does pay him that much,’” McCowns said.
McCowns said he was able to cash the check the next day at another location. Meanwhile, Huntington Branch has apologized for their error.
We sincerely apologize to Mr. McCowns for this extremely unfortunate event. We accept responsibility for contacting the police as well as our own interactions with Mr. McCowns. Anyone who walks into a Huntington branch should feel welcomed. Regrettably, that did not occur in this instance and we are very sorry. We hold ourselves accountable to the highest ethical standards in how we operate, hire and train colleagues, and interact with the communities we have the privilege of serving.
Now, to the most important part of this story. It is obvious that since Paul gave them two forms of identification and offered his fingerprints, that the bank wasn’t questioning his identity. First of all, who carries two forms of identification? Unless I’m traveling outside of the country, I don’t even have two forms of ID unless you count the picture on the back of my Costco card, and that shit is so grainy because they still use dot-matrix printers.
They also couldn’t have been questioning the legitimacy of the check because they were obviously able to pull up the account on the computer screen and had the employer’s number.
Therefore, if they could confirm McCowns’ identity and the check, then they could only have been questioning the amount of the check. So guess how much this big check was that almost bankrupted the Huntington Bank branch? Guess how much this evil supergenius tried to scam Huntington Bank into opening the vaults and throwing all of the money into a duffel bag? Guess how much Paul’s check was written for?
A little more than $1,000.
“It was highly embarrassing,” said McCown. “Highly embarrassing.”
If you think they would have called the police on a white man, you’re lying to yourself. If you think they do this to every customer, you are crazy. . . . "
I've had black friends in a conservative white community. This type of shit happens all the time. If you are white, you just don't get it.
