Yep, agree completely. There is a juvenile detention center near where I live and a few years ago a young lady was running away and I stopped her. About 8 months ago the same thing happened and I did not stop the young lady. Why? the first one was white and the second one was black.
Over the course of my life there have been several times when I have stepped in and helped in an unpleasant situation. Any such situation involving a black person that doesn’t directly effect me or mine, I’m staying out of it.
It is too easy for such situations to turn into a thorny, if not outright dangerous mess.
It's a shame that this is how things are, but a person has to be a fool not to recognize that some of these inter-reactions can be potential time bombs.
