I have never seen someone cross the street away from a black man in a suit.

That's worth repeating. Well said!

Come to think of it. That would actually be a really interesting social experiment for a black man to make. Dress in a nice, well made suit. Make note of reactions, attitudes, and how interactions go. Then do the same thing while wearing a typical ghetto getup. Document same. I’d be willing to bet on what the outcome would be.
