It's something you definitely think about a bit especially if you work in cac heavy industries or places, it's pathetic when cacs never have to think about themselves in view of society but black kids learn and are aware of themselves at a extremely young age.

Still though, I don't give a shyt if cacs get intimated by my size. I revel in it.

Be proud and confident in yourself brehs.

Let me just say.....I know plenty of tall brothers and they each have their own experience. Most of them I know are not working retail, but have professional jobs, kids, and most nooklear families. However, I have heard the stories of being seen as intimidating, especially if they naturally are not pushovers personally or professionally.

lol. first of all. this is a lowkey brag thread. im 6'4, im 6'3. lol come on yall.
i have a lot of tall friends, aint no body walking through life on no pathetic tip like yall painting it out to be. reading the first few posts on the first page is just straight pathetic. and i refuse to believe it was written by a black person.

yall agents are something else.

Many of these cases involving police brutality and killings are centered around what Quasi pointed out in his posts. These Barney Fifes will forgo logic and use unnecessary force on black men because of things like stature, hoodies, skittles, Newport 100s......they look for any excuse. The bigger you are the bigger the target.
