It's not dumb. It's about proximity being a bigger factor than race. You see it in homicide numbers. White people mostly kill white people (who they're mostly around) and black people mostly kill black people (who they're around). To act like being befriending white people is riskier just isn't true.

Doesn't Louisiana have a really hight rate of black murder victims? Who's killing them? I'm not doubting anything you said about how racist it is there. I'm just asking you the numbers on who's taking the black lives down there (or what you think they are of nobody has said them).

You don't trust white folks but in the same breath, you're saying that it's ok or black folks shouldn't be on some, "Don't put your kid in certain situations"

Nobody is saying not to have white friends, if I had some in high school, and 10-15 invited me to go with them on a hunting trip or fishing trip along the coast off Florida, for the weekend, I wouldn't go, My parents wouldn't let me go.

Black parents, did not send their kids to white folks homes or off with white folks without them either being present or knowing who else will be in this situation.

Black people antennas go up when fuckery is present or seems to present itself, whether if it's black folks but especially if white folks are involved.

Black people don't even eat white folks food, but you want folks to believe something is wrong when folks are saying, "There's no way in hell, that I'd send off my black son with 18 white boys on a fishing trip.

Because it is.



There's no reason to have white friends? Wtf? Haha

Let me just ask some honest questions and hopefully get honest answers. You ever got in fight(s)? What's the count black vs white? You ever had someone steal from you? What's the count black vs white? You ever had someone pull a gun on you or shoot at you? What's the count black vs white?

I'm quoting you, but you are speaking to AP, no attack but I'm just adding my p.o.v. even though you didn't ask for it, White friends is all good, no harm with that, the problem comes when it becomes "many white friends" and you're the only one in the 10-15 or 4 or 5 in an isolated place.

Going to a football game and tailgating is cool and even then, I'm still on alert or breaking down the game to the black kid that's going out with the whites and black friends

Certain things that they can do and get away with, you can't. do, Certain things that they can get out of, you can't. You have to be aware of their friends, places you go to with, they can go to Tiger Bar and not get harassed, you going with them, you can possible be put out, or not allowed in etc.
All these has to be told.

Black friends, ALL yall asses are going to jail, getting arrested. All yall can be targeted, etc.

It's just conversations that need to be had, but that going on a fishing trip off the coast or some shit, with 5-10 other white dudes, hell nah.

Respectfully brother

Don't ever "what about black on black violence" to me

It's a red herring and a distraction from larger issues while totally ignoring why that's even a talking point to begin with
 
Man, I don't usually tell much of my personal life on here, but I'll share this shit, I had to bring my nephew and little cousin to the NO airport, 3:00 a.m. in the morning for a 5:30 flight to the Bahamas I think it was. It was 2 of them. SR trip. Their school partnered with this company, that sends kids off to these places, like Cancun, Bahamas and they rent out the island and plan shit for the kids. I told their folks, man I don't think this is a good idea, it's not enough "black" schools on the list. Most of the schools were elite schools. etc.


WE arrive at the airport. We in line waiting for the ticket counter to open, all of a sudden, I hear a loud roaring noise, I look at the exit/entrance doors and it's about 15-20 white boys, coming in all loud, I mean they loud as fuck, yelling, but they are happy/excited. They know me, my nephew and lil cousin, so I say man what's up with all the noise, one of the white boys, drunk, said they hadn't been to sleep etc.

Their parents got them a party bus to take and drop them off at the airport. Now I'm the ONLY adult supervision at the airport with my kinfolks lol, these white boys are blasted. I'm like smh, I know this shit will be bad, so I tell my kinfolks, aye, man yall be extra careful (I had already put them on game)

FF, I get an alert from the news on my phone (national news) talking about one of the teens that was this SR Trip has drowned from jumping off a cruise ship


One of the teens that was in the airport, decides to go on the top balcony of the cruise and jump. Kinfolks told me that everybody ran on top and tried throwing shit off the ship to save him, but he thought it was a joke and kept laughing, flipping the bird, thinking the shit was funny, Ship kept going.

The ship personnel, was told what happened, went back to look for dude, dude gone.

Shit like this is what you gotta be worried. I seen the kid in the airport, No parent supervision,

Aint no way I'm sending off my son with 4-10 white boys, knowing how these fuckers think and act.

Cameron Robbins, an 18-year-old from Louisiana, went missing after jumping off a Bahamas cruise ship on a dare and was never recovered.​

Cameron Robbins had just graduated from University Lab School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and was celebrating with classmates on a sunset cruise aboard the Blackbeard’s Revenge near Athol Island in the Bahamas on May 24, 2023 taphaps.comtaphaps.com+1. During the evening, Robbins accepted a dare from friends to jump overboard. Despite attempts by other students to stop him, he broke free and entered the water around 9:30–9:40 p.m. local time Fox NewsFox News.
After landing in the ocean, peers threw him a life preserver, but Robbins swam away from it into the dark waters, which were reported to be shark-infested taphaps.comtaphaps.com+1. Video footage captured the moment, showing him disappearing into the ocean, and this was the last confirmed sighting of him taphaps.comtaphaps.com+1.
The cruise crew immediately executed the “man overboard” protocol, and search efforts were launched by the U.S. Coast Guard, Royal Bahamas Defence Force, and the United Cajun Navy. Despite several days of searching, no trace of Robbins was found, and the search was officially suspended on May 27, 2023 LADbibleLADbible+2. Following the incident, Robbins’ parents and school community mourned his loss, and a memorial service was planned for June 4, 2023 The IndependentThe Independent.
This tragic event highlights the dangers of peer pressure and risky behavior on open water, especially in areas with strong currents and potential marine hazards. Authorities emphasize the importance of safety measures and supervision during recreational

Let's do this:


Would you go into the woods, spend the weekend with 15 white people, you being the only black person vs going into the woods spending the weekend with 15 black people?

Would you go out into the middle of the ocean with 20 white people, you being the only black person, vs going out into the middle of the ocean with 20 black people?


Nobody is saying black people don't kill black people, what folks are saying, in certain situation, under certain circumstances, you should not be doing x, y and z

If I'm going out with @AP4.0 or @deadeye and we pull up to a spot/bar and it's 100 white folks outside in the parking lot, and it's 50 inside, Why would you want us, the only blacks to go into that establishment? after 8pm hell at anytime of the day

Do you think anything positive will come about this situation?

Brotha you're not dumb, you clearly understand what folks are saying, Let's me do you one better, I like to bring shit to people front door,

Would you send your only black off with 20 white dudes on a fishing trip off the coast of Florida and you live in California? Just them, no supervision?

I'd be curious to know what dude's background is.

If he grew up around white people, and was always comfortable around them.......then I can somewhat understand his perspective.


However, I was always taught to be leery of them.

So I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable in the scenario you described.

It's not about black on black violence. It's about proximity. What I'm saying is yall are calling out race like it's the most significant factor in regards to who's dangerous and who's a threat. I'm saying if race was the most significant factor you'd see it in the numbers. Not just in the news stories they use to influence you. Maybe this kid was killed by the white boys, maybe he wasn't. Either way it's 1 incident and bigger numbers are available.

These stories that know to put black and white in the headlines are the distraction. Shit, you think no black people back doored anybody in the last few weeks? It's just not made a national news story. They choose to paint a picture emphasizing race, and exaggerating how big of an issue it really is.

Those are FBI numbers from 2019. I think they counted Hispanic people in with white. Only 8.5% of black victims were killed by white people. Only 17% of white victims were killed by black people. But people eat up these stories over and over again, and think they're huge issues... that's the distraction.

Man I don't know any black parent that would send their children/kids over to a white person house, let alone let their kids have sleepovers.

Not when I was coming up. Black people from around my way, ALWAYS said to keep your head on a swivel when dealing with them. Don't eat their food etc etc.

Now, if he grew up around white folks, kudos,

I aint grow up around them, went to school with them, and left it at that, I didn't hang with them, or any of that. Some may have. Kool, but I know if I had done come home saying I'm going on a fishing trip with some white boys, my mama and my daddy and OTHERS will be shutting that shit the fuck down,

No need to stay curious. You can just ask man, haha. I'm from Newport News/ Hampton, VA. I grew up around a pretty good mix of people. Pretty much got along with everybody. Wouldn't say I had a big difference in the amount of significant negative experiences I've had with black or white people. Maybe it's because its such a diverse area that white people interact with black people enough to remove some of the racially motivated distrust on both sides.

Do they count the black victims killed by whites when white folks don't get charged or get found NOT guilty with clear evidence pointing at them?

Makes sense.

We're all products of our environment.

So if you were always comfortable around them growing up, it wouldn't make sense for you to be uncomfortable around them now unless you had a bad experience with them that changed your perspective.

I grew up plenty aware of racism, that I live by different rules because I'm black, and knew I'm black and need to act accordingly. But I didn't grow up with a fear of white people being ingrained into me.

If a white kid at school gave out candy, I didn't have adults in my family throwing it in the trash saying he probably poisoned mine because I'm black.

Different experiences. But to get beyond anecdotal or local stuff. They track this... we can see the numbers and get a feel on how significant the threat really is.
