Is it Racist? Ask Marvin.

[Karee 4,189]

When I pull up to stop light and see a bunch of shady black guys satnding on the corner with their pants hangin down below their azzes. If I lock my car doors, is that racist?

ETA: I know this thread has the life expectancy of white guy in E. St. Louis. I figured I'd try it anyway.

You establish no relation between the two sentences. The only logical conclusion is that they are unrelated and as such, locking the car doors is not racist. Many makes and models have automated systems that will lock your car doors when the vehicle is in motion.

Yes, because you're making an assuption based on appearance.

First, I lock my doors everywhere I go. That's just general knowledge. You never know what crazies are out there. Some dude in PA just killed 5 people, you don't have to be in the hood to be cautious.

Second, those dude aren't going to rob/kill you just because. They might be just hanging out. I'd have my doors locked way before I even go to that point. You never know either way. I wouldn't roll my windows down and unlock my door to prove a point, that would be stupid.

Bottom line. Lock your doors when you get into the car. Saves you the trouble of doing it later or looking like a racist douchebag when you get close to black people.

That will be 2 dollars please. Cash or money orders accepted.

Trust me, there are quite a few old white guys that hang out there. They like going to the stip clubs where black women work. Over here, it's kind of segregated with the clubs.

Heck no, strippers don't do food stamps. I might take an EBT card though.

I hear ya. That's why I'm moving somewhere where I feel like I'm being treated as a second class citizen. Then I'm going to spend all my time here complaining about it.

I ran in a race over the weekend and they had a team that was for black women. They had shirts and everything. Pretty racist and sexist if you ask me.

What if I started a group of runners that was for white men? Would that be racist?
