Black man tried to intimidate me for money yesterday
Personal experience | 30 November 2016 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

It has never happened to me like this before. Yesterday, I stopped at a little taqueria just east of Austin to get something to eat. As I was waiting, a big, stocky black guy holding a roll of paper towels under his arm came up to me and asked me if I wanted my windshield cleaned for $1. I said, "No, I'm good." He kept on, saying "Hey, just give me $1. Can't you see I'm trying to work to get money for a taco?"

I politely declined, telling him my finances were tight due to car repairs and trying to pay for school for my son. He began to get upset and then looked at me and said, "You're racist!" and some other babble I didn't quite catch. He looked at my wedding ring and said he used to have one, but he sold it. I asked him, "How can I be racist if my wife is a native of Mexico?" "Why would I marry a Mexican if I were racist?" He shot back, "She's not black!"

The poor little woman in the taco trailer told him she'd make him a taco for free(to shut him up) and he settled down. Now, my question is this: Is this a hate crime, trying to extort money off of people as they go to a taco trailer trying to get something to eat? What if I were to have tried that on someone? Police probably would have been called. This has left me with a really bad taste in my mouth. I blame Obama and all Democrats for this. They have so divided people that a lot of blacks have been enabled in treating everyone else in an abusive manner. My CCW was in the car which kept me from telling the man what I wanted to tell him and things probably would not have ended well for the street thief. How sad to put oneself in a position to die over trying to extort $1 off of someone. This nation is going to hell in a handbasket.

I’m betting intimidating you was in fact a way to pressure the cook to give him a taco. They don’t want to run off customers so they give in.

Believe it or not, yes

Ignoring him would throw caution to him

By engaging him, you are putting your guard down with that conversation. That is what he wants

“My question is this: is this a hate crime?”

Answer: if you are white then no. In fact, YOU are the one who is a racist. /s

I don’t carry cash. When they ask, I say, “Do you take plastic? It’s all I have.”

Watch out, one of these days the bum will pull one of these out

It is poignant that your incident happened in the Virginia capital. Jefferson described how welfare worked in Virginia--and most States in 1782--and why you never saw a native American beggar in American cities at that time. His words explain a lot, and need to be read & heard today:

Jefferson On Welfare.

"Really? Unbelievable what has happened and what is going to happen."

What is going to happen, you ask. Well, one look at world history will show you that no country with a diverse population of different races, languages, and religion has long survived.

Countries don’t naturally form with a diverse population, and when in the past they’ve occurred it’s usually been as a result of armed conquest. These unnaturally formed countries have either melded together into a single population made up of one mixed race with one language and one religion or they’ve come apart, and they’ve usually come apart with extreme violence. The longer these diverse populations were forced to coexist with one another without mixing and becoming one, the more the hatred grew among them and the more violently they broke apart, but break apart they did, or genocide has settled the issue once and for all.

Moment you took out your purse/wallet/bill holder he would have grabbed it and ran off

That is why you don’t engage these people

It’s not just urban black punks, either. In 2009, shortly before Boosh left office, I attended a pro-Israel counterdemonstration to a Palestinkian rally being held near the White House. The Palestinkian Muslims became so numerous and angry that the cops told us they could not guarantee our safety, so we had to leave.

Never underestimate the power of feral people in large groups.

Interesting situation. The black guy is holding a roll of paper towels (stolen, purchased? who knows) trying to make money “working”. He’s demanding money for food (a taco) but gets a “freebee”. YOU, have a CCW permit but leave you weapon IN THE CAR. Hmmmmmmmmmmm? No good idea. Do you know in said black guy ALSO have a weapon on him? Good possibility, had you been in Chicago. Situation turned out best for both of you.

You should have called the police. This racist animal is going to hurt someone.

Its Obama's only lasting legacy. He could have assumed office, and emphasized all the changes this country has made in 50 years, he himself being the best example. Instead, he followed his mother's America-hating and his own Marxist instincts and simply rubbed the race issue until it bled. #BLM is a classic leftist street agitation unit belong to Obama.

Obama's other main legacy will be the $10 Trillion in debt he added. Everything else he has done is transient - Obamacare, Global Warming posturing, Iran deal, Solar Power boondoggles, etc...

This sort of thing is why I am always armed. Your particular thug didn’t get violent ... this time. Definitely had it in him, though.

Being female, I hate aggressive beggars. I bought a sub, cookies and a drink for a homeless young black guy the other day. He was sitting outside a local grocery. He had a smallish piece of cardboard he had written something on, I didn’t read it. Handed the bag to him with “Here, Baby, you need dinner”, and we both were about to cry.

A Black panhandler in NYC asked me for money. I said “No thank you.” and kept walking. He got this puzzled look on his face and repeated what I’d said as I walked off.

Confusion works.

Just tell them you don't carry cash. That usually does it. I had my nephew with me once when someone tried the "I just need some gas money to get home." Of course there was no car around and I refused, using the excuse above. I explained to my nephew it was likely a scam and I could tell he was skeptical. As luck (??) would have it, the same guy tried it again a week or so later in another part of town. It clicked for him at that time.
