Black teen Nolan Wells is missing after hanging out with his white friends over the 4th of July weekend

[Bow to Royalty]

This really is one of those shut the fuck up and let the facts come out kinda situations.

They know they can throw black and white in a headline and have a huge story. Same with the Karmelo stuff. The incident didn't really have anything to do with race, but it was everywhere.

 

[SeaSnake]

We gotta stop being so controlled by headlines that say the words black and white. People are acting like regular ass white people are the boogeyman. If they had something to do with his death, I hope they're punished. But people are on some "that's why I don't be around white people like that" shit like we aren't killing each other way more than white people are killing us.

If homicide numbers are mostly due to proximity, the race of the people you're with doesn't really matter as much as these fear mongering headlines are trying to make you believe.

Y’all really don’t get it. As we see with the fucking president we have valid reasons not to trust most white people. They voted for a racist pedo in high numbers. Then you want to forget racism like this didn’t happen in Mississippi. Like all the racist stuff in the past couple years isn’t related

Also unless you in like NO or like STL most black killers aren’t getting away with freely. The lack of justice is like 75% of the reason people talk about racism and crime.

Yes anything could’ve happened. But being sketchy of white people and how they act isn’t new or manufactured.

You coming off like all lives matter right now b

There is no reason for a black boy to be around 3+ white teens and consider them "friends" imo

This sounds wild as fuck. I grew up in diversity.

 

[AP4.0]

This sounds kinda wild to me

I'm from the deep south so admittedly my pov is skewed

I will code switch with the best of them but I do not openly befriend white people

Because it is.

There's no reason to have white friends? Wtf? Haha

Let me just ask some honest questions and hopefully get honest answers. You ever got in fight(s)? What's the count black vs white? You ever had someone steal from you? What's the count black vs white? You ever had someone pull a gun on you or shoot at you? What's the count black vs white?

This is dumb brother

But yes, I've been in a fight with a white boy

Yes I've had someone steal from me and they were black

No one has ever pulled a gun on me

Admittedly the first two responses were in elementary school so since then, I haven't experienced either situation

Again, I'm from South Louisiana where racism is very much alive and heavily influences my behavior when it comes to white people.

The young man this thread is about is from Mississippi where white people have gone above and beyond to keep black people beneath them. I'm not speaking hyperbole. This is a fact so yes, I still contend there is no reason a black boy should have 3+ white people he considers friends, ESPECIALLY in Mississippi

You can have multiple white friends. But you should never be the only Black around white people. If you can help it.

It’s ok to say fuck white people man. They ain’t gonna die. We ain’t gonna lock them up.

It's not dumb. It's about proximity being a bigger factor than race. You see it in homicide numbers. White people mostly kill white people (who they're mostly around) and black people mostly kill black people (who they're around). To act like being befriending white people is riskier just isn't true.

Doesn't Louisiana have a really hight rate of black murder victims? Who's killing them? I'm not doubting anything you said about how racist it is there. I'm just asking you the numbers on who's taking the black lives down there (or what you think they are of nobody has said them).

 

[Bow to Royalty]

Y'all giving me the coon reaction for asking about this man's life to see what could be a reason for his mindset? Haha you got it... internet is a wild place.

 

[SeaSnake]

the coin reaction is about not understanding why Black people don’t trust white people. Black people don’t trust other Blacks. But give the cracker the benefit? Shame.

I didn't say trust white people. I said don't act like befriending white people is any more dangerous than befriending black people.

I'm not gonna automatically fear and distrust someone just because they're white, just like I'm not gonna automatically trust someone because they're black.

It's funny the distrust of whites, but you eat up the narratives they choose to feed you through their news outlets. It's the yellow car theory and the media keeps making sure you look for it.

 

[Black_Samson]

I can see both sides of the argument.

but with that being said I can also admit that this particular incident regardless of optics is an anomaly and doesn’t deserve the level of cognitive dissonance some of yall are bringing to the conversation.

Couple of yall know good and damn well y’all live vicariously thru the internet and have never left your town, county or city. Couple of yall need to shut the hell up.

At the same damn time I can also understand those that had to endure some ol awful shit just trying to exist in this gotdamn country.

Some of us may have jumper the gun, time will tell.

But to act like someone’s reality on living here don’t count is fucking ridiculous.

Don’t blame them blame other black folks just because you were deprived of other cultures as a kid, that shit ain’t fair either.

 

[Chi-Town B]

You really just went black on black crime

Bruh, if you can't keep up its okay to sit it out. A very popular and valid rebuttal to "Black on black crime" is that the numbers are really a result of proximity. And that's supported by the fact that the main people killing white people is white people. I've pointed this out a few times already.

It's not dumb. It's about proximity being a bigger factor than race. You see it in homicide numbers. White people mostly kill white people (who they're mostly around) and black people mostly kill black people (who they're around).

And you read that as going black on black crime? OK.

Let's do this:


Would you go into the woods, spend the weekend with 15 white people, you being the only black person vs going into the woods spending the weekend with 15 black people?

Would you go out into the middle of the ocean with 20 white people, you being the only black person, vs going out into the middle of the ocean with 20 black people?


Nobody is saying black people don't kill black people, what folks are saying, in certain situation, under certain circumstances, you should not be doing x, y and z

If I'm going out with @AP4.0 or @deadeye and we pull up to a spot/bar and it's 100 white folks outside in the parking lot, and it's 50 inside, Why would you want us, the only blacks to go into that establishment? after 8pm hell at anytime of the day

Do you think anything positive will come about this situation?

Brotha you're not dumb, you clearly understand what folks are saying, Let me do you one better, I like to bring shit to people front door,

Would you send your only black son off with 20 white dudes on a fishing trip off the coast of Florida and you live in California? Just them, no supervision?
