I think they get mad because you probably don't say 'sorry' or 'pardon me' or 'excuse me'. Nowhere in your post does it say you've ever apologized. Plus black folks have so many issues with white folks to begin with that the last thing they want is some white dude bumping into them who doesn't have the manners to apologize. A black guy who you bump into might be thinking that you don't like black folks and that's why you bumped him out of your way. As for me, I hate getting bumped. Hate it. Regardless of the race of the person who bumps me. But if they say 'sorry' or 'pardon me' after they hit me, I'm OK with it. I've noticed that in some cultures or nationalities bumping and pushing do not seem to be so offensive. Like you said, they accept it and move on. But that's not the way I was raised. If you bump someone, you at least say 'sorry' or something. It's really bad manners not to.
