Bomani Jones' take on how blacks are viewed by everyone
His entire podcast is excellent, but the relevant portion of the podcast can be heard from 33:20-54:02. He does a podcast every week, he is contractually obligated to not talk sports so it's pop culture themed.
This guy sounds like a really angry dumbass, anyway Mir let's talk racism for a moment, say a white dude is watching tv news at home and there are reports of blacks being violent downtown (shootings, muggings, etc.) and this dude goes downtown later for a movie, he does not feel he is racist by the way, he parks his car and is walking down the street to the theatre when he sees a group of blacks clowning around on the sidewalk 50 yards in front of him, he crosses the street to avoid coming in contact with them because he doesn't know if they are good guys or bad guys and doesn't want to risk finding out. Is he racist because he does this? I asked this guy why he did it and he said look, I would have probably been safe to keep walking straight ahead, but it is just not worth it on small chance I'm wrong. This is the real problem as I see it, people don't cross the street to avoid a pack of old black church ladies because old black church ladies aren't on the news committing crimes, so it really isn't about skin color. Its about a percentage of a demographic acting badly, so if you want to end this profiling (not skin color related) that demographic needs to clean up its act because its on them, the entire demo gets treated like the percentage of bad actors because people don't have time to get to know every individual that they come in contact with to determine if they are a good person or not.
