I'm sorry to hear about the things you and your friends have suffered at the hands of African-American men. I'm not American, but I am black, and even I have a fear of the type of men you describe. My observation has been that many of the guys who dress and act in that way tend to be city-dwellers or live in neighborhoods just outside urban centers. I'm afraid of them, too, and like you, I can't always tell the difference between the few criminals from the majority of men who are just going about their lawful businsess. My own brothers wear cornrows, but they would not commit armed robberies, yet if I didn't know them, I might be scared of them, too. Fear of criminal black men is rampant, not just among whites but among other races, too. Even law-abiding black men fear criminal black men because they can't always tell who will do harm and who won't. No one can tell who's who. My advice to not develop hate for all blacks just because of a few. Don't develop hate for anyone at all. Always be careful around people who you don't know. Crooks and robbers come in all shapes and colors, but it may be that the ones in your area are predominantly black. Also, it's good to know that you do have decent, respectable, black friends. Keep those friends. We all need to maintain interracial communications so that prejudice does not grow.
