I’ve had some white friends who have told me that I’m the only black person they talk to now (I’ve known these people since we were teenagers).
I like Death Wish and it’s a good movie about fighting back when the law doesn’t care.
Sadly I’m seeing what you are seeing. I’m glad I grew up in Oklahoma and since getting out of the Air Force, Texas suburbs. I do remember the culture shock when visiting my grandfather who lived in the inner city (once nice neighborhood that had deteriorated badly) and seeing people in their 20s and 30s just sitting around on weekdays. I was so used to seeing people going to work where I grew up I didn’t realize there was a whole other world out there.
As I was taught growing up (by the black guys I played rugby with and worked with) there's a huge difference between being black and being a nigger.
I think only the worst real racists would blame you or any other normal black people. It would be like blaming American whites for Soviet Russia or Hitler.
I think a lot of people are just becoming less charitable in their interactions in that they don't just automatically assume someone is a good person. Which should be the default anyways. We've been so unrealistically peaceful in the world for decades.
The reality is 9 times out of 10 you can take a look at someone, see how they're dressed, and how they present themselves, and their demeanor, and understand almost immediately what kind of person they are no matter the race.
Some races in some countries or regions are more likely to be the kind you don't want to be charitable towards, where I live there's plenty of backwoods retard whites I wouldn't want to be around or associate with. Dangerous and just plain stupid.
The problem is that as the situation deteriorates further and further we no longer have the luxury of getting to know someone before judging them, so all we have to go by is immediate visual indicators. Until you get to know an individual you have to judge them based on the group and man there are a lot of bad apples out there spoiling it for everyone else.
Becoming a Low Trust Society is something that makes me sick to my stomach and is probably the most distressing reality I will have live through aside from losing friends and family.
And yeah, based black guys are a welcome sight, I know a few besides you in any case. Funny enough, every single one either is a cop, used to be a cop, or is ex military.
I actually considered being a cop after I got out of the military but decided not to. Guess that was good considering what is going on today. I’d only want to be a cop in Mayberry.
I live about 25 miles away from where Austin Metcalf was murdered and it’s crazy to see people supporting the murderer. At the very least just say I’ll wait to see how the case goes.
The reverse in my case. I thought about going into law enforcement, I even have a decent amount of forensic investigation experience. Decided not to, got a sniff of something I didn't like and decided to go into the military. Not the best choice, but no point second guessing.

Happy Good Friday my friend

Agreed. I first heard that (black ppl and niggers) from Chris Rock. Of course he retired that part of his set
I am black and I'm not charitable to black people unless they're old or professionals otherwise I'm suspicious
Username checks out.

Happy Good Friday to you as well, Christ is King.

Is there real world support too, rallies and stuff?
I haven’t seen any around me but not sure that specific area
