theres a difference between being afraid because its an unsafe neighborhood vs because its an “african American neighborhood”

I also want to reiterate that it genuinely is a dangerous town and I was also against walking. I just didn’t voice the same concern as friend too.

Friend: “yeah but I don’t like republicans views” Me: “ok I don’t either but can you actually tell me one view or one REAL thing the president has said?” *she couldn’t and showed me an AI slop video* The “racist thing” was friend two being anxious about walking somewhere bc it’s a, and I quote, “African American neighborhood”. The city we were in was not a safe city either so the concern for walking at night was 100% valid. Friend one wanted to walk.

Like guys I’m sorry, yes racism and hate exist but why are we hating against someone who feels unsafe due to something they’ve just experienced

But I feel like his reasoning isn’t a terrible thing, ya know? He was also barely 18 and she’s 23 being rude to him bc of it. Like a kid still learning And as awful as it is, the town is predominately African American and is a college town. It is known as one of the more dangerous ones here due to these factors

Yeah but he’s barely an adult and it had JUST happened. He was nervous about walking somewhere at night, he wasn’t outright speaking hate ya know?

even young children know better, one individual doesnt represent one demographic, black people arent a monolith, understandable to feel unsafe walking at night, racist to feel unsafe walking around black folks

Dude there are definitely young children who don’t know better, have you ever met a child who went through a trauma?? And many adults too. I’ve known people who avoid certain genders bc of things that happened to them or their friends (both women and men alike)

why are you so adamantly trying to defend and excuse racist behavior rather than correcting it

I’m defending a singular persons discomfort because my “friend” was extremely rude to them. Liek actively bullying someone 5 years younger than us without knowing what happened

Like again, he was just barely 18 and watched his uncle be murdered

right but you seem to be conflating walking at night and crime and danger in the city to one demographic being the problem, and then you compare a racist fear to disliking an ideology when ideas can change but you cant change the color of your skin

Look, this person is basically still a kid. Their uncle was killed infront of them, they became scared. I feel like it’s not the end of the world. Their ideology could maybe change but my friend was bullying someone who went through something I couldn’t imagine
