The color/culture discussion is a fascinating academic one—and absolutely irrelevant on the street.

I worked in Manhattan for a LONG time. I’ve seen some bad dudes on the street.

Many were black.

Many were white.

Anyone who carries practices situational awareness. This requires a realistic assessment of the situation, and the realization that beliefs can get you mugged.

When I walked down any side street, I monitored EVERY guy or gal behind or in front of me. I didn’t care if they were white, black, puce or mauve, in a suit, wearing sweats, or in a bikini. Bad guys don’t respect the mental boundaries people establish in their minds, eg “this is such a safe town.”

The “gang of blacks vs whites ” set up is like the “if two identically qualified people interviewed for the job…” set up. It’s an irrelevant fantasy, fertilized by elites to keep us warring.

An error is when leftists say all blacks are guiltless. The corollary, is thinking all whites are spotless. Collectivism always sucks.

“Collectivism always sucks.”

In theory I agree with you.

In practice I play the odds.

The odds are as I stated them.

Let’s be honest..

You spent time in NY..

Are you safer in Bed Stuy than you are on the Upper West Side generally speaking?

Think about any large urban area, do most white people avoid certain areas at certain times?

I’m not arguing the exception, I’m arguing the general rule.

When black athletes, entertainers and executives who come from the ghetto, strike it rich...do they move back there?
