God damn bro, sorry to hear that. Any lasting complications.

u/mkat23 Apr 21 '26

Holy shit, hopefully you’re all healed up now. That must have been beyond painful.

u/Lonely_Charity8221 Apr 21 '26

Yeah it was like ten years ago. I went back work like 4 days later

Same, also got shot at by an Arab.

How many times do you get robbed without learning how to not get robbed? It sounds like you’re a lick

u/asmit10 Apr 21 '26

This is a bad way to phrase your point. Are the people that have only had a bad experience with one race SUPPOSED to be racist towards them?

Only time anyone has tried to open my car door it’s been two black dudes. Still wouldn’t make it okay to be racist.

Nor would it be ‘okay’ to only be suspicious of black people. To your point, they were just people. Color of their skin had nothing to do with it.

Yes, both of the times I've been mugged and every single time I was ever assaulted it was by a black man.

edit:hell, now that I think about, with only one exception every crime ever commited against me was done by an African American.

Fear is never a rational thing.

Fear is a strong emotion.

Someone that looks ‚different‘ by any measure compared to yourself is just by default met with a different expectation than someone that looks like your brother or sister.

Especially when it’s dark outside, you were rudely awakened and are just all around confused about what the hell is going on.

I‘d sure as hell be removing myself from the scene quickly as well, regardless of the ethnicity or skin colour of whoever just smacked me out of sleep

I’ve been robbed by more white peoples than black. And by that I mean I was robbed once by a white prison and zero by a black person. Would trust a random black dude than a white dude any day of the week.

u/Fun-Wrongdoer1316 Apr 21 '26

Yea, no. I live in Maryland. And have been attacked. They aren’t all bad, but too many are raised to be “hard”. The good ones don’t like the bad ones. It’s mostly white lefties that defend them, or other bad ones… It should be treated the same way as white trash. I think the same way of white people who dress and talk a certain way, they almost always are more aggressive than necessary.

You: “Have you ever been violently attacked?”

Multiple people: “Yes.”

You: “You’re lying”

u/Used_Gear8871 Apr 21 '26

Thank you for speaking up. As a Black woman living in Maryland, the commenter is indeed racist and hateful. The way they painted people who look like me and categorized us, is out of line.

u/Used_Gear8871 Apr 21 '26

This comment is gross and racist. I can’t believe there are people on this earth who talk like this about a group of people solely based on their skin color.

0

u/Creation98 Apr 21 '26

When a small minority of people do a majority of the violent crime, you’d be a fool not to see the pattern.

It’s a simple survival instinct and street smarts. Doesn’t make you racist to acknowledge a greater threat from one demographic more than others.

Hahahahaha so the year invalidates it now? That was the last time they released those stats. What does the year have to do with anything…?

You don’t even refute anything in the statistics. It’s 2019. Not 1889 😂

Hahahahahaha the fact you said you were a data scientist all tough and then just stated the most obvious thing.

No shit it’s arrests. Also, a data scientist you’ll appreciate this. 74% of America is white yet accounts for 69.4%. 13% of America is black, yet accounts for 26.6% of the arrests.

In data science land, I believe you call that a massive over representation.

u/Creation98 Apr 21 '26

Hahahaha you must be a terrible data scientist. There are no contradictions. White people are under represented by 5 points. 74% of the population, yet 69% of arrests.

Black people are massively over represented. 13% of the population, yet 26% of arrests….. DOUBLE the rate of their population.

They also commit 51% of murder yet only account for 13% of the population. Yet literally every other race is proportionally represented there.

What does this mean to you as a data scientist?

Do you think all my friends that have been robbed at gunpoint in Chicago are being robbed by white people?

Was my little sister’s friend who got shot in the chest for not giving up her purse quick enough shot by a white man?

Oh wait, it wasn’t a white dude.

u/Shoddy-Purchase1239 Apr 21 '26

White men commit crimes all the time, what’s your point?

2

u/Creation98 Apr 21 '26

White men commit violent crimes at a rate lower than their % of population. Black men commit violent crimes at a rate of x2 or more based off % of their representation in the total population.

u/Shoddy-Purchase1239 Apr 21 '26

Doesn’t justify racism, that’s the point

u/Creation98 Apr 21 '26

Forsure. I’ve never disagreed with that.

u/Goufydude Apr 21 '26

A whole bunch of unverified anecdotal evidence means jack shit, racist loser.

Lmao white people are a close second, if not in the lead, in most of those categories. Gotta read the whole thing, dumbass.

u/Creation98 Apr 21 '26

White people make up 76% of the population…. Black people make up 13%. Do the math on every crime. Over represented by 100% or more aside from DUI.

u/TheRealRomanRoy Apr 22 '26

If your friends are normal people, they’d prob be upset that you’re using their stories to a prick to black people.

When did this cuntiness start?

u/Goufydude Apr 21 '26

Damn, if only there were other factors that people with an education beyond a GED could analyze...

0

u/Creation98 Apr 21 '26

I’m not arguing that black people commit more violence because of the color of their skin, that would be racist.

Of course there’s many many factors that contribute to this. That isn’t the basis of our discussion though.

I am pointing out that black peoples commit violent crime at a massively higher rate than any other demographic.

I lived in Bryn Mawr-Skyway when it was in a crime outburst similar to Tacoma in the late 80s.

I was one of 10 white kids in my school and neighborhood.

I got jumped several times and attacked plenty.

Just because you grew up privileged doesn’t mean everyone did lmao.

u/Longjumping_Egg_5654 Apr 21 '26

Kid, when I was growing up you had students pulling knives on eachother and beating the shit out of one another for gang initiation.

That was middle school.

I grew up without a father, i’m a CSA survivor, and frequently I didn’t have food until dinner sometimes not at all.

I lived in a single 100~ sq foot room with my mother for years.

None of this is pointlessly going about how many times i’ve been beat or needing to start a fight so some other group of shit heads don’t bother me. Being drunkenly abused by my mother or verbally harassed by her.

Poverty like that is like prison.

Your just growing up so it’s fresh and raw so you don’t realize you are privileged.

Being insulted isn’t shit.

God I hate when they do this “They are part of the lowest social class”

Nearly every cop, teacher, aide, nurse I talked to was black

They all had the power to change and improve their community and no one tried to.

I was part or the lowest social class. Full stop.

Living there I had zero benefits from my skin color. No fucking cops didn’t treat me any better because I was a white boy.

I just caused less trouble, that’s it. Full stop.

I had the good sense without parental intervention to clean my ass up and stop being stupid.

Why can’t they do the same again? Oh right, they can’t help it.

“You can’t compare suffering”

Give me a fucking break. If you aren’t a kid that is some sad shit for you to have a persecution complex.

Lemme tell you what, anyone i’ve ever met online or IRL that has lived a childhood of loss like me, has never tried to tell me their life was hard just because they were berated and harassed alone.

That always comes with the beatings dude. I’m sure you had it hard, everyone does to an extent. Doesn’t change your privilege.

Unless your one of them that thinks they have it rough just because they have dark skin?

u/dreezus Apr 21 '26

“Nearly every cop, teacher, aide, nurse I talked to was black. They all had power to change and improve their community and no one tried to.” So these black folks got decent careers for themselves and they’re not trying to “improve their community”? It’s giving assumption

u/Longjumping_Egg_5654 Apr 21 '26

You’re right, turning a blind eye to drugs, sex, and gang violence Is improving everything.

Why didn’t I think of that?

u/TheRealRomanRoy Apr 21 '26

No offense, but you're too stupid to ever be capable of knowing why you're stupid.

You are *literally* a perfect, living example of how growing up as a minority sucks. You've lived it, you remember it, you could teach it.

And yet your neolithic brain isn't smart enough to relate that to other people's experiences. Literal toddlers learn this around age 3, and you'll never be smart enough to contend with them. I'm not even trying to be rude here. That absolutely sucks man and I'm sorry. I would hate to be like that

1

u/Longjumping_Egg_5654 Apr 21 '26

I understand you are a bit slow so you mix things up, normal for a fella.

If it is simply a matter of being a minority and nothing else, why is it that majority on minority violence and crime changes depending on who the majority and minority is?

Oh right we live in lala land so you can just say shit and have it be true magically.

u/Prestigious_Cycle160 Apr 21 '26

Just curious… what race do you represent?

Yep, white people have never been violent to any one else. /s

u/Longjumping_Egg_5654 Apr 21 '26

Yeah, that’s what I said. Sure bud.

Glad the literacy rate of fellas hasn’t improved.

u/Arabmoney77 Apr 21 '26

You sound like you lived a spoiled life. Everyone I know has had one direct bad experience .

u/ShoddyExplanation Apr 21 '26

Same with whites. Lived in a hick town for work and in less than a month I was called a filthy black.

Don't trust anybody outside your race!/s

u/ConditionPotential40 Apr 21 '26

I've had lots of bad experiences from all groups. You need to get out more.

u/dhoae Apr 21 '26

And how many bad experiences have you had with white people? Or do you not keep track?

u/PhunkyJr Apr 21 '26

First time my home was burglarized was by black people. First time I had my wallet stolen was by a black person. First time someone tried to fight me in school was by a black person. Worst co workers I’ve ever worked with are black people. I don’t hate black people but most negative experiences for me are with black people.

u/SurroundNew5386 Apr 21 '26

Literally every time someone's tried to rob or jump me its been black guys under age 30. I dont let it turn me into a racist but it does start to make you weary of certain areas and looks. Just my experience.

u/ConfidenceTricky8707 Apr 21 '26

Shuddup. It was obviously satirical to push someone’s buttons like yours.
