(15,522 posts)You know, I'll happily get over myself, but I also think the people who are portraying this poor woman, cowering behind the door being POUNDED ON , POUNDED!!!!! byt the BIG BLACK man oooooh so fearful can't you IMAGINE it, she's shaking! SCARY, why I called the cops once on a white guy knocking on my door! So, see??! It's the same! So it's totally okay that she thought he was breaking in and told the cops so, so they'd automatically think he was a burglary suspect. See? They can get over themselves a little bit too, IMO.
It isnt' the fact he didn't help him that gets to me. It's her jumping to conclusions that he's a criminal. If he'd been white and dressed in kahakis and a polo? It would have been different, and everyone explaining it away otherwise is full of it. She might not have opened the door. But he wouldn't have been breaking it.
Not to get too off topic, but the segregation thing? I know a bit about it because I was dealing with that subject quite a bit where I lived. I read a lot about Charlotte. There were a lot of outside forces dealing with our issue to in the town I lived. But I'm not buying it that no one in Charlotte wanted it. Sorry. I know better.
