......White folks cross the street to avoid you?
I'm sure it's happened to all of us (Black MEN, in particular)... You're walking down the street and when the White person walking in your direction notices you, he / she instantly panics and crosses the street in order to avoid getting robbed, beaten, raped and / or murdered in broad daylight in front of multiple witnesses. SMH.
It used to kinda bother me, but NOW I pretty much expect it; in fact, I kinda see it as a show of respect! They see me comin' and outta fear / respect, they clear the way and allow me to pass. I don't blame them. White folks are timid by nature... They can't help it. Natural-born nervous wrecks.
But, how do YOU feel about it?
