what you think you know can get you killed.*
living in a 51% black, 49% white city, you come to realize that stereotyping is nuts. you must identify the actions, attitudes, subtle motions of someone who wants to do you harm. this means ANYONE is a suspect. thinking "he's white, i can relax" will leave you mentally open for attack.
positive stereotypes are more dangerous than negative sterotypes. whenever I'm in doubt, I err on the side of caution which is to expect something dodgy out of the guy.
