Isn’t it racist to just assume that there will be violence??
I remember once seeing All Sharpton on TV, complaining that people tend to associate blacks with violence and crime. And he said how unfair and undeserved such status was.
Is it prejudice to fear violence from certain people, when experience has shown that some are more prone to violence than others?
Just my take on the difference between “Racism” and “Prejudice”...
Racism is when one assumes that any black one might meet is automatically a violent thug wannabe.
Prejudice is when one recognizes that some blacks do not respect the law, aspire to be gang-members, and prefer to rob, loot, and steal what they want.
Reasonably intelligent people, whether black or white, use common sense, and avoid the latter. Race baiters will call these reasonable intelligent people “Racists”, but in fact, they are prejudiced by experience, which is actually a healthy reaction to a perceived threat.
Dilbert,
If you look at the numbers,
Blacks represent 12 percent of the population and account for more than 50 percent of murders, strong arm roberies and assaults.
Should we fear being around black youth?
Hell yeah.
I don’t see too many whitefolk clammering to move to south Chicago.
