If I catch on that someone of any race is prone to getting way too mad over nothing and turning to violence as a quick solution, I get out of their lives. I don’t agree with toxic masculinity tropes except regarding the macho culture among some black males. It’s like they think maybe having a big penis means you have to be a certain personality type, which is not true anyway. Plenty of fabulously gay and girly black guys with giant dicks, in case you were unaware. It just makes the rest of us feel like rape and or murder is likely if not imminent around them. They ruin things for the cool black guys who don’t have that chimp out gene. I tend to like older black people more, it’s almost like they take longer to mature and develop inwardly as people, but once they do they can be really nice and good folks to know and be friendly with. I noticed that with the increase in media coverage of BLM stuff, a lot of black people I know in passing seem to be trying to tell if I am more withdrawn or whatever, it’s like they’re wondering if I’m a secret racist getting aggravated by the news and it would show in my reactions to them. But I’m a nice person, I do a motionless left hand raised like a Native American wave sign and head down nod of respect to everyone I “know” in the sense of seeing them around the neighborhood daily. I only do it for the people I get a neutral or warm feeling from, not everyone or anyone mean mugging me. But I noticed also a sort of relief in many of their faces after this sign of respect etc, so that makes me think maybe many black people want to like and get along with white people in their lives, but they are never sure who hates them, so there’s a distrust and fear in them too. I also try to be very polite in stores, you might not notice you cut someone off in line, but they notice it if they felt it was their turn, and will interpret it racially.
