And that is really strange about the people asking you questions when you were at the white train station building. Especially since it is easily accessible right next to a busy street. What did you say when they asked your name? I would have told them to get stuffed. Did they say who they were and what their deal was? www.yoeltaom.as
i want to start off by saying i'm not racist. Many of my best friends are african american...however, i'm a older white woman in a bad part of town for anyone of any color, other than those who live there. And i'm not from there, not even the state. I was far from home. and by myself. all i have on my is my camera and id. i dont know what their intensions were, but having 1 african american guy in the car and then coming back just a couple of minutes later, with now 2 african americans in the car... not safe. when asked my name i responded "i'm no one of importance. You really don't need to know my name." They asked if i had a card on me, my phone number, what i did for a living, etc. I just gave them vague answers and walked calmly back to my car. like i said earlier, i know how to handle myself. i didn't give them any indication of who i was, i didn't want to seem or act panicky or nervous, and i certainly didn't want to be rude or piss them off. i didn't run. good advice for people urban exploring in not so nice areas!

When you start off a sentence like that, in the words of Chris Rock, "you about to say some racist shit." This sounds pretty racist to me. You pretty much said if there are two unfamiliar black people in a car coming towards you "... not safe." lulzorz. Make what you can. www.chomershoot.com

any color coming toward me is unsafe. but being a minority in gender, skin color, and age...in a town riddled with drugs, guns and 100% african american's...i'm triply screwed. If it was bad town with 100% white, i can blend and look less suspicious. There was no place for me to go or do. That was my point by adding the 2 men that approached me were african american's.

and what i'm saying, based on your definition, is not racist, it's fact. i'm a single white, older woman amongst all african americans...who sticks out as "what doesn't belong here." Me. That's all I'm saying. Have a black woman walking around by herself, she wouldn't be harassed. That's not racist, that's fact.
Let me break it down for you. Let's go to the definition, part 2. Prejudice or discrimination directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief.

In this you are stating that African Americans have bad intentions (which you spelled incorrectly) and that when more of them come around that it is not safe. You are discriminating against their skin color. Doesn't matter if you are small, tall, young, or old, that is racism. Next point.

I doubt you mean any color, just people who are not white. If they were white males around your age, you would seem fine. You even said if it was a bad town with 100% whites, you could blend and look less suspicious which relates to a sense of comfortability. Final point.

What your saying doesn't make sense. It does not matter if you belong here or not, it is the fact that you have a problem with African Americans and being in a bad part of town at the same time. What, do you think they run free and are waiting to rape white women in their 40's all the time /s. Obviously you aren't a woman, or haven't been around different types of men. You weren't harassed but you were expecting to be because you were the minority. You based it off of the sex and skin color of others. That is called prejudice. All I'm trying to say is (this .gif relates to what I'm saying)...
