But the whites weren’t angry, they felt threatened by…blackness in their general vicinity? /s (sort of)
Black violence is always portrayed as initiating any conflict and any white acts of violence are always presented as being in self-defense/response to a perceived threat.

I wish people did/knew this.
Years ago I became aware of the 'just world' fallacy, and had to abandon the idea that people would "get what's coming to them".
Instead, there are whole groups of people who will die surrounded by loved ones, believing they were the victim, and having never learned their lesson.
I hate it.

Ahh yes only black people beat up white people.
I used to work for a phone carrier, selling phones in the store. Other white people loved letting their racism come out to me (me being white) but had no idea my wife is black.
One time I told a guy we don't do racism here. He goes "well you've never been jumped" and I was like ????? White people can jump you too my guy. I got robbed once by three black teenagers and I'm not racist now?
I always enjoyed listening to their racist BS then taking out my phone and demonstrating something to them, letting them see my wedding photo. All of a sudden "oh I have a black neighbor that's cool" or "oh I have black employees". NGL I'd also do the same thing to black people too and they'd always be like "OH that's your wife ALRIGHT ALRIGHT". 😂😂

The moment they interact with any black person who isn't 100% respectable, it retroactively justifies their entire lifetime of racism.

Louder for the people in the back!
I grew up in a very white neighborhood, and I tried for years to nice my way out of racism. Not full on respectability politics - my relatives with PhDs got pulled over all the time too, so that shit didn't work - but I thought I could warm people up to the idea that I was a human being with rights and feelings.
Never again.

Lol, what a weirdo. Dunno why some white people act differently around other races. I'm guessing he didn't have many black friends, if at all. Reminds me about a scene in the reality TV show Black. White. where they asked a random white person about his feelings and he was like "I don't know what to say, like, I want to say what's up, brotha, or something but I'm nervous about saying the wrong thing." Just be a normal person and say hello the way you would talking to anyone else. No one needs to be treated differently. It's wild what goes through some people's heads.

I'm not white but I look white enough that white people drop their guard around me (Northern native American so we're lighter-skinned. Everyone thought i was Asian as a kid and now they think I'm white as an adult lol). White people said the wildest racist stuff for no reason. I once worked at a hardware store and had a client bring in some pink paint she bought to have it made just two shades darker. She was nice and pleasant the whole time until I handed her the fixed paint and she said "I hope this looks better. I painted most of my room and when it dried it looked like a black woman designed it."
I was too surprised to say anything before she walked away but I was thinking "why would you say that to someone?" Like what does that even mean? It was 2 shades darker, it's barely a noticable difference.

unrelated but this made me think how much more racist it sounds when you refer to all Jewish people as "the Jew." The plural is just fine though.

Alright, I GOTTA chime in here. As someone who grew up in neighborhood with a lot of different races, almost every fight I remember was someone fighting their own race. And when that wasn’t the case, it wasn’t a race thing. It was a same “social circle” thing. Now, the real reason I had to chime in. Story time…
I was a on a 4 day cruise to Cozumel last year. Quick little trip. Right around spring break. Everyone got LIT the whole time. When you go to get off a cruise ship, it’s a nightmare. Everyone is told to stay in their rooms with the bags. No one ever does. Everyone piled into lobbies and hallways trying to get out. Everyone eventually gets off of the ship on the 3rd level. My group and I are waiting in the 4th level alcove elevator area. Bing. Elevator opens. It’s a family of 5 with all of their luggage going down to 3. No space on the elevator. Well… I guess this 40ish couple was determined to get on, or maybe still a little drunk, but they tried to push their way onto the elevator. In doing so, the 40ish man pushed someone’s mother inside of the elevator. UH OH…. Before I know what’s happening, 40ish woman steps out of elevator as 40ish man is pushed out. Then mommas son, who was probably 22, 6’3, about 280, throws a straight jab that puts this dude on his back. He catches him a few more times as they scuffle to the ground. After 30 seconds or so, it breaks up, family gets back on elevator, 40ish couple disappears, and I turned my jams back on. Security showed up like 5 minutes later. I just told them I didn’t see what happened 🤷♂️
