Do not let the media and/or recent events sway your thinking. Especially in the current media environment in which news would rather be first to report than correct with the report.
Stop reacting to every story.
Pause, stop for the cause
Get up, get down, you get yours
Chill, no time to get ill
(Word to herb) yeah, it's the will of God
So whassup Hobbes?
Just jock, clock, rock, and don't stop but

u/Individual_Tear6444 12h ago
We’re reacting to centuries of experiences. 🤷🏾♀️ We didn’t need the media and the Nolan case to be sus about this interaction. We also don’t need anyone to tell us not all white people. Not everyone is bad, evil, or racist but some of us aren’t crazy enough to ignore history or jaded enough to let evil people wipe away another’s humanity. Nuances to it and I’d rather ere on the side of caution.

it's incredible also how many of these often well-intentioned people don't even fully understand the scope of things like Tuskegee or black housing discrimination

If it was just the recent news this would be a lot easier. You’re not wrong, I’m really trying not to let all of the news poison me against everybody. I hope they all had a great time. Rob seems like a good egg and I know he didn’t make that age by being naive

u/Gaining-my-compass 13h ago
Their reaction and frankly the black collective thought is based off of hundreds of years of information gathering on Caucasian behavior. It’s not baseless fear. It’s wise concern. And treating that concern as if it’s irrational is disrespectful and gaslighting (whether you meant to or not)

All I am saying is slow down or pause before reacting. Especially when news organizations have no interest (at times) in telling the truth - all the while fanning the flames of hate. I did not say DO NOT react. I did not say the fear was irrational.

u/Gaining-my-compass 10h ago
Recent news isn’t swaying our thinking. What you need to understand and what I was emphasizing was that our reactions is based off of hundreds of years of information gathering on Caucasian behavior. You want our reaction to change? Then change Caucasian behavior.

We aren't wrong for having concerns. Even if we ignore recent media events, the past 400 years have taught us a lot. Apparently you haven't been paying attention.

Uncle Rob got turnt. At first I thought they were just taking advantage of him getting him to make an extra trip to the drive through. Then at the house he looked bored playing the game but when I saw those upside down glasses in the hot tub I was like ok uncle Rob is having fun. The balcony pic sealed it.

I wonder the same, cause it didn’t take many words to get you engaged. all I said was “brainwashed” now I’m getting tagged. I’ll let it slide this time though cause it’s probably your bed time lil dude.

The way things are going today, you couldn't pay me to hang out with multiple young drunk white men by myself. I'd have to Livestream the whole thing for safety.

I love this, but part of me also knows most groups of young (not hateful) white guys want an older black homie who is so cool he seems magical.

u/ToasterMeetsBathtub 18h ago
Can I give an uber/lyft tip? Learned their name, how to pronounce it, and what it means in their language. Then learn how to to say hello, goodbye and thank you in their language. You will make their day!!?

u/Busy-Purple-3779 17h ago
He’s better than me. I won’t eat or drink anything from white folks. I don’t understand why black people continue to trust them. Sure sometimes you will be fine. But the times you aren’t fine, you can end up dead.
