most of the sedentary lifestyle of the US is intentionally done, as a silently understood truth, to avoid violent crime without getting caught by title vii lawsuits

the only places that dont need to build suburbs with 10 mile buffer zones from other people are cities like SF and NY that exclude people via rent prices or other place like alaska, obvious reasons

i have had (white) frends visit LA/hollywood and get arrested for walking on sidewalk, taken to local police station and told yes this is for your own safety, you are free to go but do not walk around here



It is the case that we've structured things like suburbs around avoiding something that frightens much of American society, but it isn't violent crime.


That’s a lot of words to say you’re scared of black people


You say crime, history says racism.
