[Anonymous]

Because she assumed that OP elicited that behavior by acting fearful or looking at the group of guys in the wrong way. So, basically she is saying the guy asked for them to spit on his car bc he was actually the one acting racist. WAY TO TURN IT AROUND, LADY!

Did you not read her dumb ass post? I see a group of young men coming toward me and I profile all of it? Black? Hmm? No? Skin heads? Hmm? Viet - gang? Hmm.. Terrorist? Hmm.
Yes I profile everybody! But I don't feel the need to get on dcum and justify my racism.
There is a chance these men saw her and targeted her.
Based on what she wrote I suspect they saw her dumb fumbling ass and fucked with her and no I feel no sympathy.

But please change daycares.This place is closer to my home and would work better for me.

the OP is a man, btw.

Thanks I actually did miss that- so pissed.
So they punked you out.tough.
Op- watch the documentary by John Singleton (Netflix ) on the LA riots.
You will better understand the tenuous relationship with Asians.
For me (1/2 black 1/2 Chinese dad) mom to 1/2 white kid. Who SAW the damage done to my 1/2 black 1/2 west indie grandmother's skull done by the Asian laundry owner to her when she was 9!
I have NO empathy and you need to get over yourself.
Yes I listed most of my ethinicty so I can call all of you on your bull.

I can't believe a MAN would come here and post about stupid stuff like this. You need a life...

OP, the guy was a JERK. Get over yourself. It wasn't right and it's disgusting, but it happened to be that he was black. How do YOU know that he was AA? He could have been from Uganda and here on a tourist visa. Did you talk to him? Did he SAY anything to you? Quit griping about this nonsense and move on to larger problems in this world.

BTW, I still think that you are a troll and if not, then your racist mind was already made up.

Oh but wait. You can't use deadly force to protect an inanimate object.
Dumb ass.

I don't know why everyone wants to jump on here claiming it's not representative of young black male behavior, but I have seen this sort of behavior from young black males, too -- and have never seen it from any other race in this country. I don't think this act was racism against OP, but I do think it's a deep cultural and social issue that many urban black males grow up behaving this way, but get a pass because it's "racist" to call them out. I'm calling them out: this is not the way a human being in a civilized nation should ever treat the mother of a baby in front of that baby, and PPs are fooling themselves if they think it doesn't cause people like OP and me to associate those behaviors with the whole group. I know this is an unpopular thing to say and think.

Most of the pps are not giving the guy a pass - they're saying there's no way to know whether the guy is racist or not.

Good point. But I believe OP's question is, would him have done the same to an AA lady in OP's same situation? If answer is no, that was racist.

I mean, an AA guy.

There is no 'justification' for the act, however I would guess that you subcontiously gave the teens a consternated or disapproving look, hence the spit. If you judge in your head people can tell. That or maybe you look unfriendly and don't realize it. Either way, no, it's not a racist act.

OP here- thank you for the thoughtful response. I don't believe I gave a disapproving look (or to look unfriendly - hard to do that while making baby sounds at my son), but I'll try to be more self-aware in the future.

OP here-- you make a very valid point - there's no way that I could've known without speaking to them. I made the assumption based on own, biased (likely racist) preconceived notions inherent in people.

OP here-- There are plenty. Check out this list of certified child care providers.

http://alexandriava.gov/dchs/childrenfamily/default.aspx?id=50226

These are all home-based daycares. In your original post you referred to "the daycare building." I can't think of any "daycare buildings between Cameron Station and Old Town just off of Duke Street," as you stated. I'm not buying this at all.

Why don't you start another thread with the title:

S/o Need an idiot punk kid to explain this behavior.

Maybe you will find the answer you desperately seek.

Not on here, man. On DC Urban Punks!

OP here-- Thanks for your insight. I can certainly appreciate your anger and have a pretty good grasp of the stupidity that occurred in the wake of the Rodney King beatings in L.A. My question, however, concerns whether or not there are underlying issues here in the D.C. area-- if you, a representative of your community, tell me that lingering feelings from the L.A. riots contribute toward racial tensions here in D.C., then I believe you and accept that as part of a larger answer to what happened to me today.

DO you really think that I would be worried with the law, dumb ass? And I would do it not to protect an inanimate object. I would do it to see the fucking piece of shit person's face-scared as hell, trying to clean the spit out of my car and saying..oh sorry, I didn't mean it...oh no. What a pleasure. These mother fuckers always mess with the wrong folks. Things like that would never happen in Texas-haha.
