If you're walking in public spaces, blacks don't move out of the way when common courtesy calls for it.

This presupposes some people are obligated to move out of the way for other people.

It sounds like you were walking somewhere, but you didn't mention what the other individuals were doing.

I get the sense you think they should move out of your way. Is this correct?

Is it safe to assume you're a man of action?

If so, perhaps you could show some courage and tell them how you think it is, and should be.

Please be courteous in your approach, because we don't want anyone to get the wrong idea.

I said "when common courtesy calls for it". Guess I could have worded it better? But I'm referring to a situation where, for example, one person is blocking a walkway, or the classic situation where it's a 'tight squeeze' in a walkway so both people move aside slightly. Or maybe a situation where one person turned a corner and didn't have enough time to see the other, so they both move. Just common sense shit like this. Not expecting every black person to move when they see me coming, lol.

That's not an unreasonable perspective.

Given all of the unprecedented madness that's gripped the world is easy to understand the social tensions.

As an alternative theory to explain, "Annoying thing that blacks do"

The fundamental attribution error.

Countess people's lives have fallen apart.
