When it comes to other human beings, I tend to be a fairly intrepid person because the only being that I "fear" is God. Even then, I'd rather say that I revere God instead of fearing Him because fear and faith cannot coexist. However, I will say that I am realistically cautious of certain people. If you let many conservative politicians and talking heads have their say, then everyone should fear Black people more because we make up only 13 percent of the population while committing a significant amount of the violent crimes. If you let current media propaganda lead the way, then Black people should be more worried about being beaten or killed by law enforcement officers in lieu of suffering at the hands of another Black person. As a 36-year-old Black man who has survived the ominous elements of the infamous "Murder Cap" era of Washington, D.C. and the "Mighty" Ward Eight, I've been confronted with the reality of both. So if I were to be "realistically cautious" of anyone threatening my life, then who would it be: other Black people or the police? Welp, let's talk about it...
