Have you ever accidentally driven a guilty white liberal into the ‘hood? My husband and I have! We once drove two friends back from upstate New York and got lost in the South Bronx for a while. While my husband smoothly maneuvered the mean streets, the two honkies in the back keened and moaned with panic.

We still laugh about it to this day. Being polite, our friends have no idea in what low esteem we held them that day.

Great story. Often there is nothing to fear. And once one shows fear in a touch and go situation like that, it is akin to blood in the water for the sharks. Best to just remain cool, smile at everyone, yet remain firm and in command and project confidence, and let them think you might have a little something in the glove compartment for self defense, and by and large people would not generally “f” with you in those neighborhoods. Great story!!
