So, I just happened to be walking behind some white lady ...

And she kept looking back and started to speed up her steps. Trick, I ain't gonna do nothing to you.

It's just a natural reaction among us white people. When I'm in that situation I usually turn around and say "Excuse me negro man, I'm sure you're a law-abiding citizen but I really don't want to take any chances so I'm gonna speed up and duck into the nearest Starbucks or Apple store." jk

Don't you live in Houston or something? You'd think most white lady's wouldn't freak out in a big city.

[Lamar Doom]

She probably just knew you were going to give some long winded speech on Al Jarreau's greatness or try to talk to her about how Ed OG and Da Bulldogs > EPMD

Slim Thug, hell nawl. Suit on during my lunch break walking downtown.

Finally the truth comes out. I wondered why the Apple store in Perth was always crowded when I took a lunch break!

[HitandRun Reggie]

Or maybe she thought you were checking out her ass. I've walked behind women before minding my own business and been given the look, "Where's your eyes at?"

And some women are naturally paranoid. I worked at this store once, where this good looking Latina woman grabbed my arm and told me this white guy was stalking her in the store. I asked if she'd seen him before, and she said no but she knew when she was being stalked because she had been raped before. I told her I couldn't do anything but that when she left, I'd stop the guy if he went after her. We scoped out the guy on camera. He wasn't stalking her, if anything she was going to the areas of the store where he was first. :hammerhead:

thats weird.. so what do you think it was? she was delusional? she came across that way? maybe coincidence? she knew him and wanted him to look bad?

[HitandRun Reggie]

Naw, she wasn't following him either. Just looked they were meeting up a lot coincidently. She did have a screw loose though. If she had been raped, it obviously traumatized her severely. Who volunteers the info to some stranger she's been raped before?

What business is it of yours how fast or slow she decides to walk?

Happens to me all the time, in most case if its in the evening the woman/girl usually walks to the opposite sidewalk. In some instances even males do it.

bro, she probably has a fetish for hero role play. you ****ed up.

Its not that, its that he felt a racial prejudice against him, ever though about that?

I'm a big guy. If a woman acts like she's a little suspicious of me, I don't take it personally. I'm a stranger to her. She has every right to be concerned with her safety anyway she sees fit. It's none of my business if she walks a little faster.

[HitandRun Reggie]

Haha. She was older than me, but very hot. But my gf at the time was pretty hot too. Damn, if I only knew she was going to dump me a year later anyways...

I'd assume they don't really start the running from you until you start speaking.

Some of you are a bit naive if you think this is strange. There are still people who think like that. Especially if it's a big black dude, you don't think some people walk away fast?

Honestly I'd be less scared of the first guy. He already got his.

I do not trust that top button buttoned!

Before i get offended by the ladies actions, can you confirm you were wearing pants and nothing was out and ready for action?

Well then she must have been one of those extremely (cough) rare racist people down south.

Chinese ladies in Flushing clutch their purses and cross the street even when I'm in a suit. :( :confusedshrug:

if it makes you feel any better i got kicked out of a cab in the LES last time I was in NY...probably because i was drunk off my ass and he might have thought i was going to throw up in his car

Happens all the time cuz


And / or they stare at my junk.

[DonD13]

happened to me couple times before. specially at night. my fav was one lady who asked me if i mind walking in front of her when turning in the side road. i had my headphones on and was all confused wtf she wanted from me. i was trying to decipher it while she was all shaky :oldlol:

in my case, i'm white, it was just old people being afraid of young people with all their happy slapping, grandchild scammer and smart phones

[Patrick Chewing]

Same here. Even if it isn't a black dude, I'm letting them know that they're too close to me. I almost separated some little old Italian lady from her walker the other day for nearly bumping into me.

You almost dropped the lady from the Golden Girls?

You ever had one of them geriatrics step on your foot with that walker??? I'll send her ass back to Italy stuffed in a canoli.

Maybe she was on lunch break & in a hurry too? Was she looking at you or the digital clock behind you?

I know this stuff happens(women are paranoid at times) , but I try to give everyone the benefit.........

...But why be upset about it? Everyone has not only the right to protect themselves, but the obligation to make an effort too. What one person considers an irrational fear could be completely grounded in another persons life experience.

I could sit here and write that I should be able to walk down any street in the middle of the night and not get robbed or attacked. That sounds morally correct, but it sounds ridiculous in terms of actual human expectations. Don't I have an obligation to try to avoid areas that will compromise my safety?

It's obvious there is still so many side effects of America's racial history, but why should anyone let themselves feel vulnerable for the comfort of someone else?

We all get dismissed as being untrustworthy by some people at certain times or places. All we can control is how much we think about it or how much we let it bother us.
