After black people stop wearing hoodies, what else should they do?

A lot of white people are so afraid of black people that they might shoot one dead for doing nothing. What should be done about this? Should white people work on getting over their fears? Of course not! Black people need to work on not being so scary by for example wearing garments with head coverings.

But that's only a start, what should they do next? Should they start walking more like white people? The swagger can be pretty scary in the dark after all.

I'm only asking this for their own good, so they don't get shot dead.

Don't look a white person in the eyes or face.

Don't stare at the chest or crotch of any white person.

Call all white men "master", or white boys "young master".

Call all white women "mistress", or white girls "young mistress".

Use the blacks-only water fountain/toilet, which will be located at least 40 feet horizontally and 3 feet below the whites-only water fountain.

Stay in the back of the bus. More specifically, the hand straps attached to the rear exterior of the bus, behind the engine and exhaust pipe.

Trains? Ha. No, the rhythmic clickity-clack of a train ride is reserved for whites. Take the losah cruisah.

Emigrate to a West African nation of your choice. Now.




I think that about covers it.

But ask them to leave it on the porch, cuz the delivery guy
might feel "threatened" if you open the door too fast and
blow you away.

They're allowed, right?

Honestly, the whole hoodie thing has me spitting mad. I teach, and frankly, all of the kids wear hoodies. The white preps wear them, the jocks wear them, the little ones wear them, all of the kids wear them.
