Moreover, if you are living in or traveling through a place where blacks are the majority — and some of these stories make it clear that this was the case — then it doesn’t make sense to subject blacks to more scrutiny. At that point you’re just saying “subject everyone to scrutiny.” Which is basically what the phrase “situational awareness” means, right?

“…not being afraid to scrutinize them at all because of their race.”

I agree with that, but focusing on race will work great right up until you give the benefit of the doubt to someone who looks like you, then die when it turns out that actions did speak louder.

“So what did I learn from the above examples? I learned that watching for clues is much more important than looking at race.”

All that and he still misses it.

Blacks are more likely to be criminals. You should be subjecting them to more scrutiny based on race — not being afraid to scrutinize them at all because of their race.
