I am just starting to use medium, so I decided to start by converting some videos I did into articles to see how it works. then I'll go from there
But most of your current videos
Have nothing to do with social issues:jbhmm:
And pulling sentiments from 9 year old videos
With no growth seems very odd at best
And shows stunted development at least:jbhmm:
I’m all for black men getting money
Bringing awareness to random thoughts on issues
Or
Even having healthy dialogue
But for a person not to have any growth
Any new videos
Or any newly thought out articles
Within that time:jbhmm:
Do you playa
But this just feels like you are helping
The owners of this site get engagement
And puters puting:patrice:
No such thing as bad publicity or clicks in this era:patrice:

My Transition From Scary Black Man To Safe

Just the other day I was thinking about how I was viewed by the people around me. I began noticing that my presence was not having the same effect on certain people as it used to. The observation that I made was that white people did not seem to be as afraid of me as they used to be. I started trying to come up with reasons why white people did not seem to be as scared of me as they once were.

One of the first things that I thought of was it might be because I was getting older. After all, are not older people considered to be safer. Throughout my life, I have never really been considered a thug or some sort of tough guy. so, I do not think my aura would come off as being any softer in my old age. So, I would presume it has to be something else.

A second possibility that also entered my mind was that perhaps I had become too clean-cut. However, at the time this question originally came to mind I had not cut my hair or shaved in months, so I do not think that was it. Honestly, I looked as rough as I had ever been in my life. Funny to think that at one time I was starting to get used to being intimidating.

I know that some of you reading this may not quite understand where I am coming from. After all, why would someone want other people to find them scary? The thing is I can remember the days when I knew no white person would sit within two or three seats from me in a theater or a cafeteria. Those things can be sometimes looked past. However, it is hard to come to grips with people who seemingly do not want to do their grocery shopping in the same aisle that you are in. It was like they thought that the only black person working in the store in uniform with a name tag on was going to do something to them. There would also be the classics of people crossing the street to get away from me.

Over time a person reacted to in these ways can become numb. It gets to the point that you simply do not respond to such reactions and come to accept them as a part of life. Hmm, maybe I just need to start making mean looking faces. I could always start staring down old white ladies just to be scary, but that would not be me.

I just cannot figure out at what point I became the safe black guy.

What a pointless post. It reveals absolutely nothing.

newer articles will come in time. I want to observe the mechanics of the platform for a bit.

"I notice when I smile I show more of my teeth than ever before. White people often comment on my molars. I also discovered if I raise my eyebrows while smiling, my eyes really pop out, they seem to like that. I make a concerted effort to rush to the nearest door and hold it open. I've actually had people ask me if I am that businesses door man and I don't mind it. I've taken up tap dancing. It's fancy and has a lot of flair but isn't really ethnic or cultural. It attracts a lot of positive attention."
