That's not putting it bluntly.
If you were blunt you would say that people are suggesting that his alternative occupations would have been burglary or drug dealing because he's black, and they are fools. And you would have been right.
- burgerbrain 15y agoThat is a tad to blunt for my tastes, but yes. Though I'm trying to allow some room for people unconsciously thinking like this, unintentionally.

- wallawe 15y agoYou are mistaken. It has nothing to do with race although people like you tend to want to make it about that. He resembles and talks like a thug, brags about "selling cavities" and making a living off of it, illegally nonetheless. It's frustrating seeing people like you make unequivocal blanket statements. He is in a subway selling candy and admits coming from a tough background. Whether white or black this is the type of person that one would associate with making a living illegally had he not afforded himself this opportunity which I applaud him on. It's you who makes it about race.
