Back at LSU, I had a professor named Dr. Sells. She one day asked us to be consciouus of whether or not we crossed the street when we saw a black person or scooted over in the elevator. This behavior, she told us, was racist.
That is when I had enough. It's not racism. It's survival instincts. Out of the 7 or so best friends I have in life, several of us have been victimized by black criminals.
- In 2006, I was followed home from the ATM by two black males. As they were attempting to enter the home, my friend drove up the driveway and spooked them off.
- A friend had her car stolen by a black man outside the Spanish Moon in Baton Rouge.
- In Houston, I had a friend who was the victim of an attempted armed robbery by 3 black males.
- My cousin was jumped by a gang of black males in New Orleans, and nearly lost an eye.
- My friend was jumped, beaten, and robbed by a group of black males in Brooklyn. When an elderly black man came outside to stop the attack, the yound black males started beating him.
- Another friend was assaulted in Chicago by a black man who slapped him and taunted him for being gay. He has also had his phone snatched out of his hand several times by black males who run by as he is talking on it.
Almost every single one of us has been a victim of black criminals at one point or another, yet we are "racist" when we go out of our way to avoid people who look like these perpetrators. I would say we're obeying an evolutionary imperative to act according to our experiences. I'm not exactly dashing across 4 lanes of traffic to get away from Clarence Thomas. My friend from Brooklyn doesn't develop a cold sweat every time a kindly, older black man walks behind him.
The young black males of Chicago are now giving us even more reasons to be "racist." In the city where law-abiding citizens are forbidden from owning guns for self-defense, mobs of black youth are running into stores and doing, well, whatever the fuck they want. This has been going on for a while, especially in Philadelphia, but now the attacks have hit that Midwestern mecca of high-end shopping- the Magnificent Mile. Of course, the mainstream media not only refused to identify the race of the mob members, but CBS actually actively attempted to deceive by placing a picture of white holiday shopping crowds at the top of the story. Aww, political correctness...

I love how the NYT article notes that some of the youth arrested weren't able to call their parents for 6 hours. Boo frickin hoo. Most are probably already parents themselves, and guess who's paying for it?
