Alright, why do women think we as black men are going to steal your purses?

[yo moms]

They've internalized a preconception about your race. And it doesn't matter how much the individual behaves in a way that contradicts that because they don't see the individual. Meaning it doesn't matter if you wear a suit and walk on the financial district, as long as their mind flashes back to the ''black thug in a dark street'' stereotype, they're going to be scared. In short, it doesn't matter what you wear because they're not judging you on what you do, but rather on what they think people who look like you do.

how is english your second language?

Girl that's the perception, and perception is reality.

Boy, you were wrong.

Most black people are poor
Poor people are more likely to commit crimes of desperation, like stealing
Ergo, they're just maximizing their odds of not being a victim.

Most black people are poor? Quit anally fetching horse shyt.

wear a suit and tie at ALL TIMES, and people will feel safer around you.

if you're at the gym, wear a short sleeved collar shirt so you can still wear a necktie.

 

[no.]

It is... I guess I do a lot of my reading in English so the wording carries over? When people hear me talk though, it's plain to see I've got an accent.

@ necktie at the gym

Boy, you were wrong.

So you're telling me that people DON'T perceive blacks to be poor and violent, hence why they clutch their purses tighter when a black male walks by them

Look at you trying to change your comment. You didn't say people perceived most black people to be poor and therefore ....blah blah blah

You said very matter of fact that most black people were poor. You were wrong and I corrected you.

Exactly, its all about having white people feel safer around you. That's why I have two playlists for when I'm in my car, one for the minorities and a carefully researched and constructed one for the Caucasians. Nothing says I'm a "good black guy" like starting off the car trip with Journey's "Don't Stop Believing"

And you dont make race threads

Also the average white person has a good deal of money than the average black person. You don't have to be in poverty to be poor

I just play the classical music station when I'm around, it gives white people a weird mix of safety and confusion when a 6' black male with dreadlocks steps out of the vehicle that's playing Vivaldi.

"he looks like a thug, but his music choice makes me not want to hide my purse as much"

You stating your quote after I corrected you doesn't prove anything.

Like I said, you said most black people are poor, they are not. You need to stop making such statements like you did research and have factual proof of what you're saying. You have a very bad habit of doing that.

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

This was the second one I made ever! Geez!

That's it for me today though. LOL.

Okay, here is some proof that a lot of black people are poor, and that white people, overall, have more money than blacks.
