(14,081 posts)White people have been conditioned by racists around them for a long time in this country, I know the horrible crap a lot of adults around me said about black people when I was growing up. Self-examination is necessary.
I do have one issue though, when I am out walking my dogs early in the morning, if I see any unfamiliar man who doesn't appear to be out for a discernible reason, I try to stay aware and cautious (my neighborhood is racially mixed so "unfamiliar" doesn't mean non-white). Sometimes women just don't feel totally secure when they see a strange guy, not saying the ladies he mentioned aren't racists, I don't know them so can't say.
The one time some weird dude tried to grab me on a walk it was a white guy, years ago, on a college campus.
