My car door locks automatically when the car is put into drive. This has been a standard feature on most vehicles for a few decades. Once again Obama is a liar!
If you look sketchy I’m going to act accordingly.
Don’t matter what color you are or your age.
Funny, sensing wrongness in a person or group is universal and I use it in every country I travel.
Funnier, I’ll get drunk with the locals and have a great time.
Take yer wascist pap and smear some real bigots who actually have the power to affect you materially.
My own experience as a white guy? The only time I've been approached in my vehicle with any hostility was by another white guy. We resolved our differences verbally, though there was a very real threat made. (by me as it turns out)
I don't trust strangers, period. Doesn't matter what their age, race, gender etc. is. Anyone and everyone approaching me is evaluated. It is called situational awareness, being aware of your surroundings and the activities going on. It keeps you out of trouble.
I also answer the door armed. I approach the door armed - before I've even gotten a look at who is outside my door. Now lib lurkers, tell me how that is somehow racist when I don't even know who is at the door.
Even now, I’d lock my car door if I saw Obama walking down the street!
that's interesting. What's changed after he became a senator? Did he suddenly lose some of his blackness? Supposedly it was nothing but that blackness that made people lock their car doors. becuz becoming a senator isn't something that's visible...
I've been listening to the “car doors locking and scared ladies on the elevator, etc.” blah-blah-blah with amazement. One guy called into a radio station and said that a lady he was stopped next to at a red light rolled up her window when she saw he was black. I was like...really, dude?
Thinking that normal every day events occur because of you and your race shows a level of paranoia and narcissism that defies logic, imho.
That always used to happen to me and my college buddies when I used to live at a retirement home.
Well written.
My car has an anti-black male device. Keeps doors locked when black men try to open it. It also has an anti-white male device. Works exactly the same way as the first device does. Also has an anti-Hispanic device. Works the same way.
My car door now has the auto lock feature but you better believe I learned to lock it when I got in. I even double and triple check it when strangers get close. And if I offend anyone that sees me do it... too damn bad. Screw you.
Whenever I have to drive in the city I always say “Hello!” to black passers-by by clicking my car doors over and over again.
So, trying to be friendly makes me a racist now?
I had an office in a downtown area that was “gentrifying” for thirteen years. I became very familiar with the ways of druggies and street people. I’ve had guys just materialize and jump into the passenger seat right when I popped the lock with the remote to get in the driver’s side. Careful where you park, especially if you’re going to return to your vehicle at night. Bushes, trees, buildings with alleyways or alcoves, park away from them. Circle the vehicle from a distance looking for the drug-addled idiots. They’ll shimmy underneath sometimes. If there is a person or persons loitering about who just don’t seem right, and I don’t care what color they are, don’t unlock the car unless you’re armed and prepared for a confrontation.
I guess car companies are also racist. They offer the anti car jack feature on all cars. That’s what I call the automatic drive lock feature on newer cars.
I had the unfortunate luck to be working in the Bronx on some new school building for the children during the Dinkins days. I got off the Cross Bronx at Jerome Ave and stopped behind other traffic at the light. Other traffic stopped behind me so I was boxed in. I notice two suspicious youth walking down the line of cars. They were suspicious since it was too early for the homeless window washers (anther story). They paused at my passenger door; thank God I was in the habit of locking before entering that type of neighborhood. I am not sure if they tried the door or noticed I saw them on approach but the light changed and I moved on.
Bigger picture, it’s the American car manufacturers that are racist. They made the auto-door locks so loud that the offended will know when you lock your car. ...Oh and yes, we are racist also for using such a feature. Wink and nod to the “big three”!
One employee was shot in the stomach while his vehicle was carjacked. Another employee, Chico, was shot in the face during a robbery and carjack attempt when he was filling up at a gas station.......both were black by the way.
Ergo, I embrace my 'inner rayciss'.
I'm done playing their f****g game.
Even if you give Obama credit for telling the truth about this (a stretch already), how does he know that WHITE guys walking through parking lots don’t get the SAME reaction?
They should, and I suspect they DO.
The "painful" sound of clicking car doors is kin to the "painful" n-word and the whole panoply of "painful" blasphemies against Mohammed and the Koran. Right behind it will be the "painful" Bible verses about homosexuality.
Well, duh. I drive a Mercedes G-Class.
It locks automatically. Must be Nazi DNA in it.
