I usually do not blog when I am mad. But I am doing so now because I do not want to be calm when writing this. As a black man, this story makes me sick. I am tired of those of us trying to make a difference being called out for race-baiting when we are exposing the clear and present danger racial bias is to people of color but specifically black men.

Unsure if this is OK with DU rules.

(5,524 posts)There are certain areas where black people dont belong. If you enter or live in those areas and are black, you will instantly have at least someone who is suspicious of you.
Many people who have this mentality do not believe they are racists. Its because they might not even realize they are being racist. Their thoughts filter through a membrane of biases and stereotypes. Therefore, they see a benign situation as threatening, and see a crime in progress where there is none.
Imo, we need more self-reflection of our own biases. We need to not be afraid to talk about them. It is better to talk about them than to pretend they dont exist.
