"Stranger Danger"?

On May 14, 2018 I was walking through a suburban neighborhood out of curiosity and met this elder white man across the street from walking out of his garage to "see me" saying "You live here? What are you doing here? Do you have friends or know somebody who lives here?"

I said, "I'm just walking around the neighborhood..."

But the older white man kept on saying "We've had burglaries happen around here recently. If you don't live here you NEED TO LEAVE!" but the way he "spoke to me" seemed so "misplaced" and "angry" at me as though I was some "suspected burglar" or "thug" in his mind if I'm going by "appearance" him thinking of me as a "criminal thug" because I'm a BLACK MAN.

I really hope that's not the case but more often than not that's what it usually turns out to be.

I truly hope he would react like that to another white man who he doesn't recognize traveling through the neighborhood if he's gonna talk like that to people out in public who are simply minding their own business. It really irritated and angered me how he just "came out" so unabashedly without any "tact". No respect and I hate that.

Even IF I was a thug walking around you don't "play the police" out in public to people like you "own the place"; you're just a resident yourself.

So he's like "Hey buddy, if you don't turn around and leave I'm calling the cops to make sure you leave."

Just the way he was talking was so "mean", "bossy" and most of all *CONDESCENDING* in his tone of voice towards me; so instead of letting MY PRIDE FLARE UP and "talk back to him" and getting into a pointless argument with the man I said, "Okay... I'm heading on back and I said "Jesus Christ LOVES You!" and he said, "Yeah, Jesus Christ loves you too buddy. LEAVE.." and I turned back and went across from his street towards the park and I wasn't going to "leave" just because HE wanted me to "leave" for how disrespectful he treated me I didn't respect him back.

Just the way he "reacted" when I mentioned the name of JESUS tells me he's an unsaved HEATHEN MAN: no real "brother in Christ" would lightly "pass off" the Name of the Lord without trying to get UNDERSTANDING with someone who knows the SAME GOD as him!

So he wasn't no "Christian" I perceived...

He saw me "look back" and notice him looking at me as though to "make sure I leaved the way HE WANTED"; but I sure wasn't just for his sake.

So as I'm walking in the park collecting me thoughts on "evangelizing" this suburban neighborhood of people living here; the white man I got into conflict with earlier actually phoned the police and a white police officer was approaching my area near the park and after he got out his police car cruiser and hand waved for me to stay put as he approached to meet me.

The white man police officer asked me to "Leave the area because if you don't live here; it's best for you to leave."

I'm not sure actually what the white man police officer actually said to me in "retrospect" but he certainly had a more "respectable, calm and TACTFUL tone of voice" when he spoke with me.

I actually respected him much more than the older white man who "talked to me" earlier...

The white man police officer asked for my state I.D. At the time I still had my Texas state I.D. (and still do currently) while I'm living here in Louisiana state where I've been in "transition" to settle down here permanently; so I hope he didn't "read much into my current state I.D. status" as though I'm some wayward, wandering black n*gga thug running around from the "law" in Texas for the reason why I'm living here in Louisiana state now.

This may have been before or around 5:00p.m. I asked the white man police officer "Is this 'cause I'm black?" He's like, "No, this has nothing to do with race."

Even though the white man police officer had said that deep-down I really didn't believe the words that came out of his mouth.

It's really just not realistic this point in American Western Society.

Now I give the man a "benefit of a doubt" but only when I see a WHITE MAN treated the same way I was treated by those involved in my personal scenario will I give this situation credibility.

Maybe it really is JUST ME in this whole post "speaking out" but I truly don't believe I'm "way off" in this case...

Anyways after a "brief chat" with the white man police officer of whom I forgot to make a lil' "remark" or "comment" about God, Lord Jesus Christ or Christianity as a whole to "plant a seed in his mind" I obeyed the orders of the white man police officer and walked out of the suburban neighborhood to "sum up".
