My neighborhood is 100% white and our neighbors median age is 75? My kids always have friends over so there are like 6-7 white girls running around at one time. If for some reason they saw 6-7 African American boys there they would likely call the cops. Is it racism? IDK. It is just that it is something unusual. If there were black families living there then no one would call. I think people sometimes call because they see something unusual. Especially old people. Not sure it makes them racist but maybe it does. IDK.
well, it depends..what are the 6 - 7 African American boys doing? Are they having a barbecue in a park? Than yes, I think calling the cops is a racist thing to do. Are they waving guns around or harassing people? Than no, calling the cops is probably the smart thing to do. If they are not doing anything remotely threatening, than someone is calling cops solely because they are black. That is racist, or at the very least, prejudice.
If they are running around being loud and having a water balloon fight? IDK. Old people used to call the cops on us all the time because we were loud or there were too many of us gathered together. Darn hooligans.
I'd call the cops on you too, you damn Red Sox fan!!! That should be illegal.
seriously though, if they would call the cops on 6 - 7 white boys doing the same thing, its not racist, just a bunch of old fogeys being old fogeys. If they wouldn't call the cops on 6 - 7 white boys being loud and having a water baloon fight, but would call on 6 - 7 black boys being loud and having a water baloon fight, it is racist.
