Both of us have been part of a rather privliged white minority in an all black society while working in West Africa. It is very uncomfortable and if you are not on edge all the time you are senseless. However, it is generally possible to get along or at least survive. You do it by being polite, tolerant, keeping to your own kind, doing your best not to attract any more attention than you have to. Maybe one day you will be accepted though it is not likely and there will almost certainly always be an undercurrent of tension.

So, in black-majority areas, whites are not readily accepted, despite being non-harmful.

Meanwhile, in the US in 2014 according to FBI stats, blacks were arrested for 51.3% of homicides and 55.9% of robberies. But we're not supposed to "profile", because that's "racist".

Imagine how the Africans would have treated you if you had those statistics in THEIR countries.

Precisely. I have seen it in action. I’ll also add in the profiling patch that having a chip on their shoulder is apparently not learned by years of social programs. It just comes naturally.

Facts are troublesome things aren’t they?
