[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was talking about this just the other day. My husband just took up jogging in the mornings, and we've both questioned whether this is safe for him to do. [/quote]
Stop. Just stop. Of course it's safe for your husband to jog. I'm a black man living in a mostly white neighborhood and this wouldn't deter me from jogging at all. It's a horrible story and I hope they finally arrest the racists but I don't see this as a general threat to black male joggers like me.[/quote]

So great that this has worked well for you so far!  But unless you're somehow positive that this would work out well for any and every black man in any and every mostly white neighborhood in the US, you might want to Stop yourself.  And this, of course, says nothing about how a Black Man Running might go over in some of the neighborhoods that are completely white by choice versus the "mostly white" ones where you run.

I really am glad that your experiences have been safe ones.  That's not the universal experience though.  You know that, right? Right?
