This stat doesn't tell you what you think it does. It's merely a function of proximity. It has zero to do with the issue addressed in the OP.

The bottom line reality is, a white kid in a black neighborhood is LESS safe than when he's in a white neighborhood but a black kid in a white neighborhood is SAFTER than when he's in a black neighborhood.

Please don't tell me I have to explain this fact to you.

I guess they aren't used to the 2 parent dynamic? They think that the adult male figure is just some old guy lurking around?

I've said it before. The average working class black has more in common with me than he does, Obama. For that matter, the vast majority of wealthy/politically connected blacks care less about them (blacks) than I do, because I have to live around them. (Well, I used to... live around them - that is.)

You might want to actually look up interracial violent crime statistics. There's one group that commits an extremely disproportionate amount of violent crime against all other groups than the reverse.

Let's put it this way. If, for some reason, blacks had to flee to Mexico - they would not be welcome.

What black kids do understand is that they’re likely to have their heads smashed in South Boston…

He probably believes white people are responsible for most mass shootings. These people don’t live in reality.

Results showed that youth generally felt safe when they were near their homes

And the unsafe feeling for Black participants in the study increased with more exposure to predominantly white neighborhoods.

So young people feel safer when they are closer to home. Then you have young black people in areas away from their home, and those areas happen to be white, and they don't feel as safe; so we just assume it's because of race differences and not distance from their comfort zone.

The sad thing is they genuinely do believe this. They’re told so much BS about white people. There’s a YouTube of a 3 year old black child who legitimately asked a police officer, crying, if he was going to shoot her. It was pretty heart breaking. Try telling a 3 year old why Jacob Blake actually got shot and that it had nothing to do with him being black.

And we wonder where the animosity comes from. This is a 3 year old, innocent child asking that question. They really do think white people are just out to get them all the time and they’re told that from an early age. Of course, the officer did the right thing and said no, and gave the child a hug, but seriously… 3 years old. It’s parenting and the media.

Thats unfortunate, but if someone doesnt feel safe then stay away from those areas.

I dont enjoy being mugged, beaten or carjacked so I stay away from places like that. Those places are usually in large, urban, democrat controlled areas.

To each his own....

The only things the blacks have to fear in white parts of town are if they're revelers and the shite they go in to steal and destroy has good security and/or isn't the store they target.

But if a white kid felt less safe in black part of town, he is racist?

Are there stats to show how secure they felt in predominantly black neighborhoods where they didn't live?

How about white kids, has there been a survey of how safe they feel in predominantly black neighborhoods?

This "study" feels like it was done to ultimately say "white people are racist because they aren't doing enough to make blacks feel welcome".
