How sad. You felt picked on and afraid. Well guess what? That happens to white folks too. Take a drive down to Martin Luther King Blvd. and stop off at a 7/11 for a drink. Come back out to your truck and see 4 black men looking at your tools and preparing to steal them. When they saw me they TOLD me they were going to take what they wanted. Too bad for them that I was carrying, pulled out my pistol and told them to back off. They did.
Perhaps you should learn how to shoot a pistol and get a concealed permit for when you go into a 15/1 area.
I am VERY afraid to go into the area of town known as Little Mexico. The drug gangs in that area don’t care if you are carrying because they are carrying too and they have the numbers in their area. I don’t even go there. There is no reason to risk my life.
When I see a group of Mexican men in my home area I am cautious. When I see a group of Bikers in my area I am cautious. When I see a bunch or High Schools kids walking together I make sure my truck is locked up. When I go into a restaurant and I see a bunch of women wearing Pink Pussy hats and my wife has on her Pro-life political button I know that we will be mocked and harassed. When I go to the mall and a small group of Mexicans are talking in Mexican (guttural Spanish) I feel as those I am helpless against the constant invasion of illegals.
When I see a Cop I get very nervous. I was politically active for decades and because we were vocal against taxes and tyranny the Cops would threaten us with arrest and harass us. Several times we had to get restraining orders against the government to stop harassing us. Cops are organized crime that are protect and defend THEMSELVES and their pay checks and power.
I got to learn how corrupt Cops were when we called them to our home for help with an intruder. The Cops crippled me, hurt my wife, humiliated my son and then they lied and committed perjury to cover-up their crimes.
So guess what? People that are not black can feel uncomfortable in dangerous situations too. Cops can be the scum they are to whites (Cops shoot more whites than blacks) and blacks and browns and yellows and reds. They don’t hate you because you are black. They hate you because you are not a Cop.
We live in a very dangerous age where people get killed by Cops for calling for help or even for calling for help for others. I would never call the Cops again for any reason. Gangs roam the streets. Thieves and criminals come in every color and every economic level. Bankers steal more from Americans than the street gangs. Politicians are all criminals . Democrats. Republicans. NO difference.
So if you feel uncomfortable JOIN THE CLUB. I don’t feel sorry for you. I don’t feel sorry for me. I carry a weapon whenever I leave the house because the world is a dangerous place. Learn it. Know it. Live with it. It is reality. And your color is irrelevant.
