Is it normal the black people in baltimore were so nice?

I just visited and was surprised how friendly everyone was. I'm white and I expected some animosity from blacks after all the race tensions but I didn't have any problems in fact all the blacks I interacted with were nice. Is it weird that I'm surprised?

    It's normal that you were surprised, considering this is following the Baltimore riots. But this is because media only shows you the crazy people running wild and wrecking everything out of anger - never the peacful citizens simply living - so naturally, this is what you expect to see.

    The kindess of everyday people just doesn't sell well on T.V.

    Black people generally speaking are friendly and nice. Probably more sociable the there white counterparts often.

    Most blacks are not like the fools you see on worldstar hiphop

    As long as you make sure to give them space to destroy.

    So much on the news about blacks rioting because an unarmed black kid got shot by a white cop. They are right to riot. Most black people are very nice so are most white people. It's the screwed up ones that spoil it for the rest.

  • You were probably in a good part of Baltimore .Most mean people are in the poor downtrodden areas where crime &drugs are rampant .
