I had a similar situation in oakland california. Ghetto dressed black kids and then a really nice SUV approaches with 25 year old ghetto dressed black kids. At first I didn't react because its oakland, but when I saw the nice SUV i got more suspicious. In the end they walked by me and didn't bother me so I stayed where i was at.

I think it was a pussy reaction tbh. And the fact that you admit you feel you were being racist is even worse.

ANY time I am out late walking and see some people I immediately go on alert and tread cautiously. Black, white, mexican, whatever. There are just as many hoodlums of any race so it doesn't matter what they look like at all.

In fact, I'd probably be more uncomfortable if I saw a bunch of white kids dressed ghetto style. Whigger kids always out trying to prove something.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

Does the skin color really matter in this case? There are 2 scenarios that could happen with people of whichever race you pick.

1 - they try to mug you, fuck you or bother you in some other way - better avoid them
2 - they just want to borrow a lighter to light up a joint or cigarette- they could even invite you to smoke with them - here you can choose which is better.

I would add to your post with my own story:
I was about 18-19 years old and lived in Topeka, KS. We used to go to the ghetto part to get the liquor. That part of town was scary as hell. Once i got some brew and walked out the store. There was a black woman freaking out that her car battery went down and she needs help and that she is very scared in these "ghetto" parts.
Do you think this "black lady" was being racist ?
Brood War is the best RTS that has ever been created.

I think the fact is that everybody is racist. The important thing is to know that you're better than that. Your instincts are based on emotion, but as long as your conscience tells you that racism is not right, I think that's the best you can do. It's not ideal, but it's the most practical.

Probably? It doesn't matter what your race is.

I think the term racist is too broad these days.. I guess this can be technically racist, but not something you should be stressing about imo.

Night time+ unknown men, you did the right thing. Was it totally fair? No. But whatre you gonna do, make them take a personality test before you decide if theyre dangerous?

I think you should be more worried IF they were equally threatening white men and you didnt have the same reaction, rather than having this reaction to black men. Safety is the bigger issue here.
“Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.” - Marcus Aurelius

It's racist, but honestly who gives a fuck? I'd rather be not stabbed than politically correct.

the act itself is pretty much by definition racist and/or prejudice, but if you're actually in the ghetto (very subjective—lots of goofy white kids call my city 'ghetto' just because we're near a bunch of real ghettos) late at night, you're an idiot if you're not watching your ass regardless of the skin color of the people approaching you.

Better safe than shanked or something!

Different story if it's like 3 in the afternoon and you turn to your girlfriend, 'RUN, BLACK PEOPLE'. This is just being street smart.
