That’s been going on for decades. Whole generations are inured to it and probably derive vicarious thrills from it.
I remember as a young boy my dad deliberately getting ‘lost’ in Watts just to freak out my great Aunt who was really a racial bigot—especially against blacks who she referred to aa “boogies”, but to be fair she didn’t like Germans, French, Brits, Italians, etc either. In any case my dad got a big kick out of it. We were perfectly safe, but then, this was in the early 50s. What has happened to black urban Americans?
