Tbh, I was more scared of the police than of my uni being shot up. I’m black and seeing all that shit on the news before coming here had me thinking I wouldn’t last a week 😭

I wasn’t expecting them to come on campus for me or anything 💀💀 I mean walking around the city n shit had me worried. My dad was attacked by 4 police officers in an ihop parking lot his first week in uni in Texas. I feel like I was rightfully scared to be going to school in America after hearing about that.

I’m not saying it’s not a problem. I’m saying on campus is probably one of the safest places to be in America besides the rape threat

I understand. College campuses are safe. I’m not talking about on campus though. I’m literally talking about being in America as a whole. We don’t have mass shootings n shit in my country. I’m not used to being in a country where there are so many mass shootings every day that they literally can’t report on them all. Someone got killed on my island last week bringing our murder count so far this year to 3. 💀 I wasn’t scared of being on campus. I was scared of being in America at all. 💀💀

There’s not really “so many mass shootings every day” they just get reported on so it looks like there’s a lot. But you don’t realize how many places in America go by every day completely safe

There literally are though… the annual number is finally back down in the high 300s after being in the 600s four years in a row. Thats on average two a day. Like I get what you’re saying but you have to see what an insane statistic that is, especially for someone from an island that just had its third murder of the year in December 💀

Like, I get that it’s not everywhere but it’s still insane and scary for someone who’s not used to shit like that

Plane crashes happen frequently. You’re not gonna be scared to get on any random given plane bc just bc it DOES happen doesn’t mean it’s going to happen at any given time on any given plane you’re on. It just seems like more of a risk than it is bc they’re reported on when they happen. No one talks about the thousands of flights that land without a problem

Two a day isn’t enough for you to say you’re walking around America absolutely terrified at any given second. That’s causing you unnecessary anxiety and now you’re making your self inflicted anxiety my problem

But if you’ve never been on a plane before, any statistic of plane crashes would scare you. That’s all I’m saying. I’ve now been here 3 years, I’m not terrified every waking second. I was scared of living in America because hearing about one mass shooting and one case of police brutality and one case of a bombing or some shit was so much more than anything that has ever happened where I’m from.

I know now that the chance of me being shot randomly is small, but before I came to America I was scared because all I knew was that the chance there is far greater than the chance I have at home. I’m not misunderstanding you. You’re just ignoring the fact that it makes sense for someone who’s never lived in a country where you can see shit about shootings on the news every other day to be scared of going to the place known for the shootings.
