I don't know where you guys come from but I'm in NY & have worked a rotating shift for 38years now in NYC, my current area of responsibility is Manhattan & the Bronx, I wish I could agree with you guys but I can't. Things are really starting to escalate out of control very quickly here. I have never seen so much hate openly displayed by mostly Black people (With a bunch of white commies sprinkled in agitating everything). If things keep up like this there is going to be a big backlash, I don't thing the Democrat Commies with their useful idiot MSM pals really understand what they are pushing for & where this is going.

Just my own few and limited observation - I have not seen escalation. In fact, most encounters I've seen have had a higher level of politeness. Sort of like everyone involved knows shit being portraid is getting out of hand, and that's not them (though I could be just interpreting that).
For the most part - the black interactions and people I've encountered have been cool.
Heck, more pleasant than most of the whites - even the conservative whites. The only times I've been accosted, annoyed, or concerned in the last few weeks, has all been white people.
The media and forums like this are playing us. They are pointing out the hotspots and giving non-stop air to the racists and irrational- which are a lot less representational out there in the actual real world. Turn off you newsfeeds and forums and go outside - it's a lot different than what your LED screens are telling you.
That's my personal experience as well.
Ditto!

Donno, we're all having our own experiences and interactions. I would imagine NYC area is its own microcosm. In urban diverse areas in Texas, my interactions with others have actually been quite pleasant - in my own limited interactions. But I don't hang out at protest marches or the back-alley at night either.
And sure, there is potential to get racially attacked out of left field. While likely elevated right now; that's not exactly new. So while keep your guard up is always good advise; there's also a reality that ones tone sets the tone. Let's just say I have a CHL, that I carefully don't think about at at all while I'm smiling and treating others with respect. Not with sympathy, condolences, fear, Token-appeasement, or looking down; but just mutual respect. I find that works pretty good for me in my interactions. But I don't live in NYC or the 'hood either.
On an aside; there's a flurry of "We are Listening" signs I'm starting to see. Personally, I find that demeaning as crap - as that's the tone and statement a superior states to a sub-servant; to my eye at least. But to each their own.
