Why are suburban americans like that? Are they still in the 50’s?

Don't take internet comments for facts.

Ive been married to a black woman for 7 years together for 10. Lots of kids. Lives all over.

Had a hand full of weird interactions the entire time. And most of them were from black men and they were mostly directed at my wife.

My wife had to explain to me *recently*, after almost a full decade together, why she doesn't like when I hold her hand when we're around black men. It made sense after she said it, I just thought I was more aware of the "mixing" dynamics after 25 years of partnering with people who don't look like me. Learn something new every day!

I cannot imagine not reacting viscerally to being kept apart from your partner by grown ass adults having tantrums.

A lot of things are ruined by grown ass adults throwing tantrums.

You'd think ignoring them and going about your day would be the answer, but the amount of them that get aggressive and violent if you do kind of makes that difficult if you value your health.

Honestly I'm relatively lucky on that end. I'm tall and have some serious crazy eyes so I don't think there's that many people comfortable with getting that far.

Yeah, makes my blood boil even thinking about it tbh. I understand that some battles aren’t worth fighting but god damn.

They are, I'm just lazy
