Crossing the street for fear of the black man...

[David Floyd]

OK, fine. I'll just be secure in knowing that I might offend someone, but at least the odds of me getting mugged or hurt are lower.

I do all sorts of things at night if I'm by myself in order to stay safe. Get over it.

[Apocalypse]

I'm not offended. I just find what you are saying to be silly.

[David Floyd]

Why?

[Shi Huangdi]

Depends. If the person was wearing a business suit, no. If it was late at night and I was by myself, I would take care to try to avoid threatening people........

[Urban Ranger]

I avoid dark alleys at night. They are tough mothers.

Most of them are racists.

Especially certain Greeks who have an irrational hatred of Turks .

[Bosh]

I'm generally too oblivious to even notice in time to cross the street

i never cross the street to avoid anyone but a former love interest

Is your former love interest a black man?

[Asher]

I also never go out of my way to avoid people.

Then again I live in Canada in a major city with like 7 murders a year, so I don't have all too much to worry about.

yes, it's true! It's true! i'm a dirty racist and flaming homosexual :runs away crying hysterically:

BTW, I think that a :run away crying hysterically: smilie would be a good addition.

If it's night and I'm in a run-down, high crime rate area, I might cross the street if I see a big person acting unusally...

I don't avoid black people. Then again, I only see black people on the streets once every couple of months around here.

"So you must be on your toes constantly, eh..."
Hmmmm… perhaps my statement stretched into hyperbole…
I'm not actually as paranoid as all that. basically I mean to say that I don't avoid people but I'm not a very physical person either. To be most accurate, my answer would most closely parallel Boshko's…
