Scared..

so..
i live in a white part of town (believe me
i am NOT racist) but we never see black
people where i live. I'm at home alone,
while my parents went shopping. So the
doorbell rang, and i went to answer it.
There was a black guy carrying a backpack
and wearing a SL hat. He looked really
really mad, so i just locked the door and
ran upstairs. It scared me because i've
never seen this person before. I called my
dad and he called the police. Now they're
trying to figure out what this guy is
doing. I'm just freaked out!

yeah, the guy left
michael is helping his sister move
=(
i guess the sheriff is looking for him and
the sheriff is in columbus (30min away) we
have to call the sheriff because we live
less than a mile out of the city limits
and the newest police chief in Galena wont
let the cops mess with calls out of city
limits.

What ever the color, you shouldn't open
the door for strangers. You are young and
alone and that could be a dangerous
postition. You never know who can be out
there. I hate being alone in my house and
Im 30. When my husband is not home, I
freak out at any strange noise.

that was the most racist thing anyone has
ever said on this site....what does a
black guy at your door have to do with no
black people living in your area? does
that make him more dangerous than if it
was a white guy? are u freakin serious?
why did the whole balck issue evern have
to come up? why couldnt you just say there
was a guy at my door? how old are you?

I have to agree with Emma. Being a black
man has nothing to do with it and neither
does the lack of diversity in your area.
You could have just said a strange man
knocked on your door and we would have
understood considering you are a young
woman home alone at night.

as i said at the VERY BEGINNING of my post
that i am NOT racist, i would have done
the EXACT same thing if it were a white
man that came to my door, or any other
nationality........i was just pointing out
that it was VERY strange for any one of
color to be in my neighborhood or town
for that matter..... i will change my post
for anyone that i offended, because i did
not mean to and....i'm gone!
i wont change my post because the edit
button is gone..but i would if it were
there...

I get scared when anyone knocks on my
door. We live in apartments and we don't
have a peep hole on our door. So i NEVER
open the door. Imagine when people just
walk into you apt to spray for bugs or to
inspect something w/o you knowing. One
time I was sleeping and it happened. Boy,
was i scared! Race doesn't matter to me
if he/she is black white, etc. All races
live around here.

I didn't take it as a racist either. She
was telling a story and mentioned the guy
was black. Yes, she could have said a
strange man was at her door, but what harm
did she do really.
Zanny did you have a good time?

sorry no i don't think it's overboard.
This caca happens all the time....I hear
these things everyday from my fathers son.
Its unjust to single out a race and it's
ignorant . You didnt make it racist
because you dont live with this everyday
my dear. And hello im white so whats ur
point zanny?

I didnt take it as racist... she even
stated that in the first few lines... but
I guess you can read into something the
way you want to, huh? The fact that she
was home alone, someone who looked pissed
and she didnt know is a perfect
justification not to answer the door... I
know about 2 hours from where I live there
are alot of home invasions going on...and
this is how they start...someone at the
door... the door gets answered...and bam
the person forces themself in... (usually
have more ppl hiding nearby as well)...
I have answered the door and have had the
person (not saying race cuz then I would
be racist too....ha ha) and they wanted to
know if I needed a service done..I said no
and they walked off... I closed the door
and I guess he didnt think I was watching
but he tried my car doors to see if they
were open and looked into the car.....
well... about an hour later he was
back..with some buddies... went to my car
to scope it out with them....and I came
out with a "friend" I asked what they
wanted with my car and they ran... I think
my "friend" scared them a lil

well im sure if there more black people on
this site they would not agree with any of
those who excuse this behavior...My
opinion and my thoughts and i find it
totally ignorant and racist and it touched
a big @ss nerve.

welll... i mean.. she pointed out his race
because her area is predominantly white
and was stating how unusual it was to see
somebody NOT WHITE there.
I know that when i went to visit a friend
of mine in Paramore, which is the part of
own in Orlando that is predominantly
black, people i swear to god looked at me
like i was lost and like i had ulterior
motives. I got glared at SO many times.
I dont think she was bieng racist.. i
think it just reads like the reason she
was scared was becuase he was black.. i
dont think thats how she meant it. ^_^

omg things are different in the states. we
dont talk that way here , we dont assume ,
we dont judge or generlize so
publicly...so easily....i heard that
america was one of the msot racist
countries in the world...I guess alot of
you are conditioned and it may not be so
evident to you. anyways who cares i told
her what i had to say on pm...end of
story.
