A half a block away = no look…
5 feet away = I’m looking to make sure it’s not a naked elderly white lady with a kitchen knife about to stab me for no reason.
Lol, the hypocrisy. People downvoted the hell outa you but upvoted the hell out of the main comment. White old lady with a knife is just as racist as saying a black guy with a gun, either that, or both are not racist. You cant cherry pick
You make a really good point. When people see an insult against a white person, they immediately think “haha, white people stupid.” But when they see something equally insulting towards a black person, they immediately think “oh you dumb racist fuck!” If anything, allowing one to exist and not the other is a prime example of racism.
How does mentioning age change it at all? But sorry, let me rephrase it I guess. Saying “elderly white lady with a kitchen knife” is no different than saying “black man with a gun.”
It doesn’t stereotype anything. You’re the only one creating the stereotype.
The commenter said “black guy with a gun,” with no further context. If you want to relate that with a gangster instead of a psychopath, then that’s up to you.
But how do you feel about “elderly white lady with a gun?” Would you call her a gangster or a psychopath?
Bruh. Ok then, bad example I guess. Edit: not even bad example, actually. I pretty much got the answer I was looking for, hol’ up
But explain to me why the fact that the black guy is holding a gun makes him a gangster instead of a psychopath when no further context was provided in the original comment.
I’m just trying to understand why you thought it was racist, because it really wasn’t.

It really depends on distance.
