Somebody started coaching certain black high school and college age people into intentionally causing others to give way to them back in the 90’s. This was especially common in enclosed shopping malls. Sometimes it was groups walking three or four abreast, in which case you could see them coming. I’d usually stop and look in a different direction from them, forcing them to go around.
The individuals were especially annoying, they’d make a beeline for you deliberately, trying to force you to step aside. This was really annoying, it was pure territorialism, no different from a dog cocking it’s leg on a tree and I refused to play along. I’d stop in my tracks and stare. They’d usually make a “ppsshht” noise and intentionally bump into my shoulder, hard, as they passed. That kind of crap is why I began avoiding inclosed shopping malls in favor of stores where I could just park outside and walk right in.
This guy is infected with the same dumb, hostile, militant mindset. If somebody is going along minding their own business and not trying to prove some stupid point, I’ll gladly give way, open doors, try to be accommodating and helpful. But, if they’re deliberately trying to provoke a reaction, they’ll get one from me but not a submissive one, I stand my ground.
I don’t care what they call me anymore, the game has gotten very, very old.
Local high school had black kids walking down a four lane street blocking traffic.
I dive an F150. They all get out of the way when I crest the hill. Never move for a Prius.
Stopped when an older former military black man stopped, got out, and yelled at the young ladies.
