Unbelievable!

[Unkotare]

Went out to the store today to pick up a few things for the fam, and on the way out the automatic door didn't respond when I stepped on the sensor. One of those "wtf?" moments. The guy who was leaving the store behind me came up and must have wondered why I was just standing there apparently blocking the door, but it didn't open for him either. We both just looked at each other like "wtf?" then made some lame jokes about the store trying to make us go back and buy more stuff or something. Whatever was wrong with the door, it finally opened. There was some "after you" "no, after you" and we both walked out. The guy (looked like a few years younger than me) very courteously bid me a good day, and I did the same. A slight head nod and social-distance wave and we were both on our way. Pretty exciting story, right? But here's the thing: I'm a white guy and he was a black guy! At no point did he try to set me on fire, and at no point did I throw him across the parking lot. Just two normal people interacting in a normal way like a couple of Americans. He seemed like a regular good guy, and I can only assume I came across the same way.

Can you believe it?

Happens every single day everywhere across America. Just returned from walking our dog in the local park which as usual was packed with people possessed of all skin tones. No waving of signs, no spouting of ideological bullshit. Just a bunch of people enjoying the outdoors.

Sure. Happens too me all me all the time. But I’d never know if I’m the only one or not because we are divided by the media in America. Black man scary, white man racist. That is all that is shown and it will always be.

Guess what? I work with black guys who are country as you can be, love running their dogs and killing deer. One is cool, the other is a fucking loser.

Never knew they hunted deer except for Bo Jackson and Karl Malone. Kidding

Cool, so we can hunt with the good black guy and loot with the other one. We can have it both ways.

Blacks who accept and adopt middle-class values and lifestyle never have any problems with "white" people. And vice versa. Even police.

Only time I saw the rise of hate toward the white community from the black community here in Texas is after Katrina when we got that damn influx of people from Lousiana...

Texas Blacks that are born here are usually as calm and polite as can be and can give a damn about a lot this nonsense...

I wouldn't say never. But yes, I agree overall.

I am so White that Casper is darker than me, so if I was standing by the Op'er I would be worried he might light me on fire...

IOW, you had the perfectly normal interaction that us non-members of the Church of Woke Safetyism usually have with folks we encounter out in public.

I've found that if they're working they're generally good people.

I grew up in Katy when it was a rice farming community.
Everyone was cordial to each other. The black dudes worked on the farms or had their own farms.
It's far more racist now than it ever was in 75.
