"Are white kids just not taught to leave strangers alone?"


  

          

I'm semi serious and genuinely curious about this. I just went for a run around the National Mall. I was there for all of 15 minutes. Between the hundreds of people and various groups I run next to, asked for a high five, and also talked to about God knows what.

And I think about this, and I remember when I was a teenager and the white kids loved to show out by having fun with or at the expense of strangers and it was weird to me even then. I don't get it.

Additionally I'm a bit sad (I think) that I've never been messed with by black kids like that. Not that I want to be, but that we live in such different worlds. I feel like the white kids spend their entire maturation exploring and exceeding boundaries, and for black kids the risk of doing so is much more extreme.

I really need to figure out my password.

Took me a second to realize what he was saying, I had just finished running and had headphones in.
