More PC crap. A little peer pressure within certain ethnic groups would go a long way in ending some of these stereotypes.

I would feel just as uncomfortable if a young white skin head with tats was approaching me.

[ShadowAce]

Exactly. While skin color may play a small role in identification, it is the bearing, attitude, and dress of a person that plays the larger role in identifying potential threats.

This coming from a woman that didn’t consider the maids cleaning the toilets in the Arkansas Governors mansion as human because they were black.

Actually, Hillary, if I saw you coming down the street towards me, I’d probably run out in traffic to escape……..

Blame the liberal progressive political correctness that does not hold people accountable.

And the liberal philosophy that teaches political correctness and not good moral values.

We should all try to avoid bad people.

I am sceptical of the whole thing. My image of Dr williams is forever changed.

Is he really 6 feet 5?

[rfreedom4u]

Anyone wearing a hoodie is suspect to me. The hoodie hides who they are and the walker in her example could be a ruse.

Is he really 6 feet 5?

Yes, he really is.

“””When I had nearly completed my doctorate at UCLA, Mrs. Williams and I purchased a home in Chevy Chase, Maryland, a high-end, exclusive suburb of Washington. Our house was on the corner, and motorists often tossed debris on our lawn adjacent to the street. A Saturday chore was to pick up the trash. One Saturday, an elderly white man offered, “When you’re finished working here, can you come to work at my place?” I responded that I’d be busy putting the finishing touches on my doctoral dissertation and would not have the time. The man was embarrassed and apologized profusely.”””

A similar thing happened to my neighbor and I years ago while trimming the numerous palm trees on our adjoining properties. We rented a boom lift, had the chain saws out and were dressed in our “redneck grubbies” getting it done.

An attractive, +/-35 yr old lady stopped her car and asked how much we charged for tree work. My neighbor didn’t miss a beat and said, “Well, the lady that lives here lets me sleep with her in exchange”.

The look on her face was priceless just before Frank told her we were the homeowners.
We still laugh about it.

I was doing some ditching in the front yard wearing my red neck grubbies one afternoon. I looked pretty bad.

Some Mexican landscapers came by in their truck and taking pity on me offered me a sandwich.

I took it.

PC? What are you? Stupid?

Williams is saying that the black community and more specifically, black youth are responsible for the perceptions that others, black and white have of them.

That is as non pc as it gets.

[SakoL61R]

That’s funny!
