My ex-wife was hit in the back on a metro in DC simply because she was wearing her engagement ring. No provocation, the person said something about white people jewelry. Yes it does happen unprovoked.

That sounds like someone with a mental health issue. “White people jewelry” is not a concept I’ve heard of despite being AA for 47 years. “White people food” is a different matter. Maybe he was complaining, not about the carats on her finger, but the bunch of locally-sourced organic rainbow carrots in her reusable shopping bag? They are the most reviled symbol of gentrification.

In all seriousness, when a white person does something like that or even shoots up a black church, the assumption by whites is he or she is mentally ill. When the person is black, white people seem to forget mental illness even exists.

Typically the mentally ill aren’t running in packs and howling with laughter as they attack people.

I used to all the time and then stopped when the kids were little.

Mace and pepper sprays are illegal to carry in DC. It’s the exact same criminal charge as if you were caught carrying a gun.

Pretty stupid to risk a felony like that out of fear of kids goofing around.

“Kids goofing around”???
This is how people embolden these criminals.
SHAME on YOU!!!!!!

Defense sprays are not illegal in DC, and never have been. Carrying them is not the "exact same" as carrying an illegal gun. Depending on the circumstances, carrying an illegal gun in DC can be either a misdemeanor or a felony.

I am an AA mother and this is not considered normal behavior in our household or the manner in which my children know they are expected to behave out in public. Further, we don't know any AA families where this is taught in their homes or condoned. I understand there may be a knee jerk reaction to some of the sentiments being expressed here but please don't attempt to defend the indefensible by claiming this abhorrent behavior is cultural. Its simply not and you do a grave disservice to our community by stating otherwise.

Children who are raised with violence ie physical discipline, are more likely to be violent - regardless of your ethnicity because it's normal. Kids will do as you do not as you say.
