Is it normal i don't feel comfortable around black people anymore?

What do you do? Walk around with a shirt that reads easy target? That is an abnormal amount of incidents.

All four of those people were men, too. Are you also afraid of all men? As I see it, it's the exact same logic.

It is wrong to implicitly distrust black people. That doesn't mean you are a bad person. None of us are perfect and that is not a bad thing. We can be better people if we recognise our own flaws, though, and you should recognise that this prejudice is a flaw no matter how justified it feels to you.

Of course after all that it's only natural that you would start to feel this way. But try your best to keep in mind that people are people, and there are bad people of each race. Perhaps you live in an area composed of 99% black people which would increase the odds of you running into bad black people, if you lived in an area with mostly white people, what happened to you would have been done by bad white people.

are you provoking them? this post needs a back story

Normal, due to what has happened to you. In fact, I think it comes hand in hand with PTSD. I myself have been developing a phobia of African men, especially if they are in groups. I was concerned that this make me a racist, but it doesn't. I had a talk with someone, whose opinion I highly value, and I that yes, it's a stereotype, but where we live, this stereotype is unfortunately shone itself to be true. All three of us are women and women need to be more aware of their surroundings. True or not, this is not a PC belief so, I would be extremely careful with who you tell about this, least they twist your words and start accusing you of things. If you never got therapy for your PTSD, I think this could greatly benefit you. Another thing, is marital arts. Being properly trained is always a good skill to have as the whole body gets taught, so to speak.

I don't think the problem is that they are black, I think you are probably in a ghetto area.

The realistic answer, at least in the U.S. is that minorities are more likely to in poverity, which places many of them in ghettos. This is because the U.S. was established by Europeans who brought Africans here as slaves and took over the Natives and invited everyone else.
Therefore ghetto populations are more likely to have minorities.

Most black people are not in gangs or do crime.

It's normal. However I find it very funny when you say, "Any black person is going to have to work to earn my trust because I know what can happen." Seriously...

I never go to McDonalds without my gun. My great grandma told me to be careful of the coloreds when buying a big mac.

Some of my niggas, sell dope
Some of my niggas, they broke
Some of my niggas, smoke weed
Some of my niggas, snort coke
Some of my niggas, they made it
Some of my niggas, they won't

Just a question to clarify a bit the fears you're feeling, maybe it's more of a conditioned response to situations you've experience rather than some deep seeded racism. Take them for what they're worth:

- If you went into the Emergency room in the hospital, and the doctor or nurse was black, would you still be afraid, or secretly wish you had a different race assisting you?

- If a large white thuggish looking dude approached you in an isolated area, asking for a smoke or something, would you also feel afraid of being robbed or assaulted? Or would you just assume he's fine because he's a white guy?

Thats the dumbest fuckin thing Ive ever heard, Ive only had problems with white people, a black man's never done me wrong, so it's even now. Just sit back and brood in your misdirected hatred towards people you dont even know or understand, fuckin cunt.

Normal. One of my distant cousins was robbed and beaten by a group of black guys and he has a little bit of brain damage. He also has a fear of black guys. *shrugs*

Four Black guys do something to youso your going to categorize and lable every other billion black person in the world, just because of what only 4 out of billions did to you. You're one ignorant bitch. Educate yourself you racist trailer trash.

Fair enough.

Can you tell us more about the crimes against you?

I suppose it's normal to not feel comfortable around them, under your circumstances, but you should try to not be harsh towards totally innocent people because of it.

It's quite normal to avoid something that reminds you of a sour experience. Whether it's skin, a song, a food, or whatever reminds you of the experience, you will feel uncomfortable around it. It's unfortunate that what reminds you of your experiences is something obviously controversial. People keep saying "Well, white blah...", but if it were white people, skin wouldn't stick out because you're probably commonly around white people. It's usually something you see or hear that isn't obvious and common to you outside the experience that your memory will hold on to. We all have triggers for our memories, but you need to come to terms with the fact that other black people that you meet don't deserve to be treated like a suspect, and they don't owe you an apology. Don't let your bad experiences become someone elses problem. Overcome these tricks of your mind for your sake and theirs.

How do you feel about black women?
I had to overcome my dislike of black cats, it's possible :)

My fear of strange behaving foriegn men has overcome me, because of someone I trusted.
