“But... how safe would a white guy be jogging through a black neighborhood? Would he take his kid there? Would he always be aware of his color?”

Agree. And how many petite, blonde females (for example) would be safe jogging through a ghetto?

Dad, here, WANTS to feel bad, so he does feel bad.

If he were the big thinker he likes to play at being he’d forget about what some tiny percentage of whites thinks about him and focus on the damage Blacks do to THEMSELVES. Hating Whitey ain’t a life plan.

Shoot ... they aren’t safe jogging through any neighborhood. (I watch too much I.D.)

You’ve got a point there.

He primarily writes features and essays, and has a particular interest in stories related to race, gender and social justice.

That sums up everything in The Times.

I have never jogged without the specter of race. The way I look shadows my every stride.

I wouldn't think twice if this guy was jogging in the neighborhood. The look? What is this guy thinking? Concentrate on your running. Not what you think your "look" is.

Here's what Running While Black is in reality:

Running While Black and Loyally Voting Democrat from baby momma wanting child support.

Running While Black in a white neighborhood of a nation in which there are almost twice as many black on white murders as there are white on black murders, even though blacks are number 3 in population. Obviously to Democrats it's because whites are racist.

Me too!

As a Caucasian male, I often found myself thinking WTF am I doing running here?

Stationed in Atlanta, DC, Houston, St Louis and other urban areas.

I think the treadmill was invented for this reason.

And beyond that, when the inevitable happened to that white guy and he was mugged, beaten up, or murdered, how would the media and BLM bigmouths handle it? The victim would be ridiculed as out of touch and irresponsible, going somewhere he had no business being and ignoring the realities of urban life. The racial apology machine would fire up and make a million excuses why the murderers were justified in their “rage” and just defending their “turf.” And a host of equally specious arguments explaining why the victims were at fault.

NYT: Running While Black: Sounds like the NYT is doing a spin on the old driving while black gig.

I may have missed it, but i have not sen a single story in the past year of a black man getting shot while out for a jog, where they did nothing but jog and were shot WHILE jogging.

Arbery was not shot ehile jogging.

He was shot while physically attacking a man with a gun. There is no evidence suggesting he would have been shot or touched if he had just kept running.
