Black Men and Public Space (Yuehua Jin)

According the the article the black man was descript a youngish man-a board six feet two inches with a beard and billowing hair,both hands shoved into the pockets of a bulky military jacket-seemed menacingly close." He said:"The fearsomeness mistakenly attributes to me in public places often has a perilous flavor."
But actually he was scarcely noticeable against a backdrop of gang warfare, street knifings, and murders. He grew up one of the good boys, had only perhaps a half-dozen fistfights. He is a shy boy.
I think the real "threat" is racism, because he is a black man, so everybody thinks he always do bad things, even though he never do it.we have to change the mind, we can't evaluate a person according to their color, and we should be objective to access a person.
