I was shopping today in my local Walmart, which rarely has any black people and it was different today. There were 50% more than usual and a few of the males I walked by were talking about the recent killings. They were also eyeballing me pretty hard but causing no trouble. I'm often asked if I'm a cop, I guess because I workout and have short hair, not sure.
The atmosphere was definitely tense and different, making me wonder are others feeling any changes? I'm pretty much color blind, until someone gives me a reason not to be.
Black people don't scare me. I'm a little distrustful of Jews though and they're harder to pick out of a crowd.... lolI was shopping today in my local Walmart, which rarely has any black people and it was different today.

Nah, black people don't really scare me. And when they do, it's usually what they're doing instead of their skin color.

I don't trust people that wear suits and ties. Those are the type of people who rob me every day.

I'm not scared , I see them all over the area , for the most part they are pretty cool .
The last time a person actually scared me was an employee I had recently let go, a white guy. His head wasn't screwed on right to begin with and when he came back in the store a couple of days later all the employees headed to the back. When I walked up to him to shake his hand it wasn't because I was trying to say hello but more to see if he was going to pull something out of his pocket. He was obviously drunk and/or high. It took quite a bit for me to maintain a decent conversation but he left peacefully.
if there is a gang of young people smoking, swarming, checking me out as I walk past then it doesn't matter their colour, I feel wary
Nope. I used to go to several black, asian, hispanic, etc conventions as part of my job, never had any problem being the one white guy.
But, I try to make more friends than enemies, and I don't judge by skin color.
Singles don't bother me, but a group, depending on how they are dressed makes me nervous.
I like to see conventionally dressed black people. They don't creep me out like the "gangsta clothing" does.
Yeah, I guess it's racist if I'm against the clothing styles commonly worn by blacks who prefer to intimidate whites when they can. Then again I'd probably pick up a hitchhiker if he was dressed like Tiger Woods.
"Clothing makes the man"
I had a work mate who was black and talked like an educated white man at work, but when I drove him downtown to his neighborhood he broke out in Ebonics. I asked him why the change and he said, "If I talk like a white man up in here they'll hand my ass to me". He said that's the ugly truth of it, we don't want to appear as sellouts to the white culture.
