14. As usual: Another story of so called "white people"phobia against blacks.
Blaming African Americans for your social/economic problems. This is getting old. Since the beginning of time in this country, whenever whites are in a similar jam, committing some crime or doing some down low illegal shit, especially if they are in or around African Americans they blame black people. Remember Emmit Till, or woman in South Carolina who drove her car into a river, drowned her kids and blamed a black man. You walking, see a black man coming. you cross the street, You're a white woman in an elevator with a black man, you clutch your purse. You pass an African American in a public/private place, you don't speak, African Americans shop, with white employees following the African American around the store thinking that a crime is about to be committed or providing slow service, you live in a neighborhood, African American moves in, whites leave thinking that the property value will go down, A white man/woman dates/marries an African American, you disown them and on and on and on. The list is long.

Why do white people continue to do this dumb ass shit? Do white people have social gatherings, conferences at church, in the work place or at home to ensure that this behavior is
understood as children, making it a necessity for personal/public safety, a good life, a positive frame of mind and comfort? Gimme a break! This situation with this Allen character is not isolated so white america can't say "what an idiot". That dog don't hunt because thousands of similar excuses in the past have been used to justify this and many other types of behavior. All of the situations that I spoke of is also "dumb shit". An an usual, Hispanics, Indians and Muslims are being stereotyped. Some I have a question and hopefully someone will have the courage to answer. WHY?? :shrug:
