I felt MORE comfortable when I went to Jamaica, where EVERYONE is black, than I do sometimes in the US. Black is normal, nobody makes a big deal about color. Only in the US. Even in Europe, it doesn’t really make sense to talk about black vs. white because it’s all broken up into so many nationalities.
The reason I carry in my car is mostly about black neighborhoods I drive through. It’s not because I’m racist. Rather, it is because there is a good chance THEY are racist and will act out on it. There is history aplenty to support my position.
