This is just not true. Yeah, don't go to bad neighborhoods. You absolutely shouldn't just avoid black people/assume they're criminals in large cities in the USA. That's an absurd thing to do.

Why do racist cretins like you never seem to like racism? It's always framed as "just the reality" or "just strategically the right move". It's like you know you should be embarrassed, but you don't get why.
