11. That's the funny part. I was banned and wasn't even being contentious.

If I was looking for a fight, I would have said

"No, because I'm not black."

I think black people have been given a good deal of practical cause to fear for their safety with open-air lunatic racists walking around, armed, spewing hate and ticking down to some horrible end.

I literally cannot recall the last time someone said to themselves "Self, let's go execute a bunch of white people for being white. Save one as a witness to scare all the other white people." So no. I don't feel fear anywhere. I do feel a bit of guilt though.


But instead of starting a fight I merely asked why they ever felt safe in the first place. Not a difficult question.
