Angry Black men are so scary

The potential for violence from an angry black man is so much higher than any other source it’s scary. An unarmed black man is a threat unless proven otherwise.

    i admit i don’t trust most black guys.because one minute they are ok and the minute they freak out and cuss people out when people say no to them.it’s like they are bi polar or something.if a white guy acted like that i’d be in fear of him to.but it’s mostly black males i have seen act crazy when they don’t get their way. .

    I’m a black man; and when approached by a group of black teen males on my late-evening walks with my wife, I get trepidatious. But funny enough, when a group of white teen males walks toward me at a similar time of night, I get the *exact* same feeling. So, its not really race that has earned the reputation, rather a rowdy group of teenage males. Similarly, this 6-word phrase would work equally as well with any race inserted instead of “black.” Or perhaps just removing the race tag all together. Angry men are scary.
    The little boy I adopted (a white young man) was afraid of big men (white men incidentally) not because they are scary, rather that his experience with his father was abusive. Perhaps anger is the problem, not race?
