Ever since Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by George Zimmerman on that faithful night, America has been on their toes about the stereotypes that have been put under a spotlight.
There are all types of statistics that are supposed to show that young black men have to be more careful with how they act, and it gets harder when those stereotypes only worsen from it.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, young black men are more fearful of their futures ever since the incident with Trayvon Martin.
A 19-year-old boy named Jaboris Haynes spoke with the Sentinel and revealed:
"Sometimes it hurts. When I was younger, I thought of being a different race and wondered what it would be like. The message I got about being a young black man wasn't a good message. I always felt like somebody was after me, like they were judging me, just because I'm a black male."

“The biggest threat to young urban black men are young urban black men.”
True, but it’s so much more painfully embarrassing getting killed by a white guy.

What a bunch of equine fecal matter.
Young black males are almost exclusively victimized by other black males as evidenced by every measurable source known.
Another ploy to disarm law-abiding citizens...it gets old.

I don’t know if he should be worried or not. Good people don’t get shot in self-defense ... thugs often do. Which path you choose, not your race, determines how likely you are to die of a gunshot wound.

Careful, you’re going to bring out the few Treyvon defenders on here. I know I did a few days ago. LOL

Black , White Red or Tan, people judge you every day by your deeds and looks. weather it’s tatoos, pants on the ground or haircut you get judged, fair or not, it’s human nature. It’s the same in nature also with birds or albinos and groups of hogs.

Not to worry............
Be sure to attack only UNARMED VICTIMS (hat tip Bloomburg et al.) and you’ll be just fine.

Don’t forget they also judge you by the deeds of others that look like you look.
So, either don’t look like those people, or, start “policing your own” and make them behave.

Act like Trayvon and you should be fearful you might end up like him. Your choice!

This is the tripe they're fed by the "black community" from birth. And it's a self fulfilling prophecy. When a black guy tries a dozen times to get his book published, he can easily conclude that the world is out to get him and he gives up. When a white guy gets turned down a dozen times to get his book published, he keeps trying until it happens. In the end the white guy gets published and the black guy doesn't. Not racism. Just two different philosophies. Apply the same example to loans, seeking employment, etc. These people that are constantly telling blacks that the world is out to get them are doing them no favors.

Good! I WANT young black males to be afraid... VERY afraid!
I want them so scared of dying that they give up gangbanging, drug dealing, and pack acts of random thuggery.
Maybe then they’ll get their shiz together, study in school, and be productive members of society instead of dangerous urban predators.

Stereotype? Tell you what. Don't walk towards me with one hand behind you and
one hand holding your pants up, on my trucks blind spot. Yea this happened to me many
times in Cincinnati OH, and Portsmouth VA, while looking at the map to find a customers house.
How about Blacks stop stereotyping Whites as racists.
That would be a good start in the home.

They aren't afraid of white hispanics.
They are afraid the people they assault will pull a gun and waste their asses in the middle of their crimes. The Trayvon Martins fear a populace that more and more ceases to rely upon the police.
As much as they still hang on to the lynch mob, very few are still unaware that mixed martial arts boy died when the victim of his drug fueled beatdown turned out to be armed.
They don't like it one bit.
