I as thinking about your post and you nailed it. The problem in our sphere (as mentioned to the other poster is): * When everything starts to look like a conspiracy how do you tell what is true? And what you mentioned is also incredibly important. We know there are good black people out there, but that doesn't mean they aren't dangerous. That summarizes it nicely. I was also thinking that if we were to carry on this kind of conversation forward, how do we deal with the other races / species of human? I was thinking about something like this: * Approach other species of human with a combination of skills: they way the lion whisperer (he has a youtube channel) approach the dangerous animals in his care + how a diplomat approaches representatives of other countries. The diplomatic approach provides the guest with the maximum amount of respect and formal leeway but the lion whisperer skills always have you prepared for situational awareness needed to deal with potential danger. As with my response, it's way overthinking probably a nothingburger but thinking through it in the open maybe opens up the conversation with people like your self so that I can learn to get better at it.
