Before having children, I used to run in the city, carried nothing except a house key. Fortunately, I was never robbed, I don’t know why you’d have headphones, you want to be aware of the surroundings.

It’s not my job to change anyone’s mind on racism. It’s my job to tell them how stupid they are. Generally people with low IQs are racist and I don’t waste my time on stupid people.

Thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely hit them up the next time I’m there

If you aren’t open to discussion about racism, you won’t make any progress in changing attitudes towards it. Call me whatever names you want, but I’m open to a frank discussion.

Conversations about racism are hard on social media. I for one admire the OP for being blunt about how the incident made him feel. He described not liking the feeling, so clearly doesn’t want the feeling to escalate. Is talking about that feeling wrong?

Edit: your handle reminded me of my favorite coffee cup that says "I'm a fucking delight."

That's an extrapolation. Should he get sympathy for being mugged? Sure. Should he get sympathy for it being his excuse to say it caused him to be racist? No. If he wanted sympathy for being mugged he would've left out the part about him being racist & dealt with that part of his character in a much more productive way. He's being manipulative & too many of y'all are falling for it.

Your first mistake was defending racism. Your second mistake was defending it with me. I don’t support that fuckery in any form, you apologist.

This is a fun merry go round. I’m getting off here though. Have a good day.

It’s not. It’s you defending racism.

Unconscious bias is THE grey area for racism.

That’s exactly what you’re doing. And this particular situation is black & white. There’s no gray area with racism.

Sigh. That’s not what I’m doing at all. The world isn’t as black and white as you’d like it to be.

I lived in Baltimore for years, and just never saw any of this stuff. Idk, maybe it’s how you look or something. I was feeling bad until the racist comments or something. Maybe instead of running, hit the gym or get a gun idk

Nope. Still defending racism?

Got any actual different points to make?

No dog in the fight here, but they absolutely do. Per the menu: “homemade Sicilian style pizza”

Again, nobody feels sorry for racist

Buddy been racist and not just “a little”! which they go on to say in the post they “don’t like” but had no problem making sure we knew their views on people of color have all of a sudden now changed. Like please go ahead somewhere with that 😭
