Your theory:How is Steve Harvey able to talk to White people w/o seeming threatening?

what youve got to think about is about how the war on drugs is essentially a war on our consciousness. if we legally arent allowed to ingest a substance that broadens our consciousness and makes us better humans then we have ZERO freedom. america is not the home of the free. and the UK is even worse because we have cameras on every street watching our every move.

Um... you do realize that many people can't/don't differentiate between Blacks of different socioeconomic backgrounds.Whitepeople are not "scared of Black men". They are scared of a particular segment of the Black male population whom they perceive as violent. The "thug" or the "gangbanger" image. It's not about Black, it's about violence. If you watch someone who is scared of a "gangsta" I guarantee that you'll see him react exactly the same with a "biker" or a "skinhead" or "mobster" or whatever. It's not about race, it's about looking grimey.
What's that old joke? "What do you call a Black man with a PhD?"
You know the punchline.

This isn't true...you are making this way to logical. If Trayvon Martin was white he would still be alive, hoody and grill and all. To a certain segment, black skin is threatening. You had people talking about Richard Sherman was threatening because he has dreads and was yelling. Really Rastafarianism is scary now?
Football players don't yell before, after and during games? 
Best believe if that was Clay Matthews behaving in the same way it's a non-story. Meanwhile Tupac is an icon. Not 2pacalypse Now Tupac mind you but "Thug Life tatted on my chest" Tupac. Cop Killa former pimp Ice T is on Law and Order. Amerikkka's most Wanted Ice Cube is a movie mogul. White people actually love the "gangsta" image...that's why you see more black people getting on playing that role than any other one. If you are black in Hollywood you are more likely to play a slave or a gangster than a doctor or a teacher.As far as Steve goes, being funny lets you get away with a lot. Eddie Murphy could do no wrong back in the day. Same with Richard Pryor or even Bill Cosby. Steve has toned it down quite a bit though. He even puts on his best "white man voice" and everything.

Not sure if you are trolling
. Hoodies aren't regular clothes? 
I will reserve any further comment until I am sure you are not a troll.

OP took it a lil too far but yeah the people in this thread saying "normal" black people arent feared or profiled must be white or the type of black person that sympathizes with their oppressors and puts their own race down thinking it will get them treated better. Ive been profiled in a button up, thats just the world we live in.
