“NEITHER ONE!”

That wasn’t an option.

“Structural racism” aka Grade “A” Bullshit
How about the fact that over 70% of black kids born into single family homes usually with no father. That will force the buys to seek male guidance outside their home ... which often means a gang leader.

It is for me, other than “Restricted Federal Facilities” nobody has the right or the power to tell me where I can or can’t go.

I have a tendency to avoid high crime areas (black, white, red, yellow, or purple) whenever and wherever possible, that’s just COMMON SENSE to me.

Unless you happen to live in one of those neighborhoods there is really not much reason for being there, it’s not like they have any great attractions.

I used to live in the city of Downey, Ca., surrounded by Linwood, Compton, Bell Gardens, Montebello, Norwalk, Pico Rivera, etcetera.

Those were some pretty rough neighborhoods.
Except for the occasional hiring panel or necessary business for my employers, I never had a reason to go to any of those towns, it’s not like they were places you would go just to “hang out”, unless you had a death wish.

But I do respect all private property rights just as I expect others to respect mine.

Well, I think you’re missing the point. The person I was asking the question seemed to be pretending that one is just as likely to get shot walking through a “high crime” white neighborhood as a “high crime” black neighborhood. Hence why I asked the question, to see if they would answer honestly or not.

Whether or not you would ever be likely to actually walk through one of those neighborhoods is besides the point.

Pocatello doesn't have a drive by shooting problem...or didn't until the ISU basketball team did a drive by on the ISU football team. There are very few blacks in Pocatello. Oddly, most are members of the basketball and football teams at ISU. Concealed carry is a common practice, so the bad behavior seems to have isolated itself to a specific group of athletes.

If You like I can do a Field Stress Test for You. Just have them Dropship it to Me with ? I don’t know maybe 80,000 rounds of assorted brands of ammo ? We’ll see if there needs to be another ammo shipment after that. 🤠

80k rounds wouldn’t even be a good morning. We’d need much more for the day... Ship it, Ma!
