What in God's name made this racist thought pop out of your mind and into the comment section? I'm pretty hard to offend, but I am also of Spanish decent and, believe it or not, I have a backpack. I am as American as you are. My people came from Spain long ago and helped to settle Texas and New Mexico. If trouble ever shows up while you and I are in the same place, I'm going to try to defend you too, my friend. Don't fuel their beliefs on white people.
I'm so sorry. I was just stating that this is what they called me to tell me. Not many people hitch/hike nowadays and so they thought he might be a threat. Anyways, I haven't seen anyone so he must have caught a ride. Sorry again my friend.
Maybe you don’t live in the same kind of area as Mary does. I do. I live in rural America. If a guy was walking down the road, out here, miles from any public area, it wound raise concerns. Wouldn’t matter what color he is. Does he need help? Is he training? Is he crazy? Nothing wrong with calling a loved one, home alone, to be aware of a situation. It’s common sense. It’s definitely not a racist thought. And like she said, this is the world we live in now. Its not fueling “racism” imo. It’s just being aware. Don’t be so offended because you have a backpack and like rural country roads to walk around in. Especially in Texas and NM.
And again, I am sorry if I offended you. This is the world Biden wants us to live in. Before, I wouldn't have felt threatened or scared as much. And it doesn't matter what race of people they are, today anyone; even the Whites, are just as dangerous. So I didn't mean to sound as if I am racist. Just stating what they said on the phone.
Stop apologizing! That's how we got in this mess. Everyone going out of their way to not offend. There's much we don't know about this situation. Perhaps you're family saw strange behavior? Maybe you live in a community that has little diversity and his presence was odd. We have millions of illegal aliens in the country at present. Assuming it was racist is programmed behavior. I just assumed there was more to the story you didn't take the time to type out. It's not racist to observe out of the ordinary happenings. Going out of your way not to notice because they're a different color is idiocy. Now before I get labeled racist for saying this, I'm in a mixed relationship. So don't bother.
Thanks. And yes, there are no people of that nationality in my area. Especially if one is walking/ hitchhiking down a country road. I am alone and so I was calming myself by putting this on here. It seemed to help, but I wasn't expecting to be called a racist. Thanks again and have a blessed day.
You are a woman and are home alone. Your people saw someone out of the ordinary and called to warn you so you could take precautions. There isn't anything racist about this. You have no reason to apologize. If someone is offended then it is their problem, don't let them make it yours.
Exactly, apologizing is why America is in this mess, hurt feelings, piss people off, who cares. In the end we should feel safe and be able to speak our minds. I could give not a single fuck if I offend anyone.
It read descriptive, not racist, to me. If I saw a suspicious looking person walking towards my mom’s house & knew she was alone, I would give her a descriptive heads up as well. Don’t feel bad, Mary!
I know longer feel bad. I just wish I hadn't panicked after I answered the phone. I will remember if there is a next time. I will be so HAPPY when we gain our Nation back and can feel safe again. This is getting ridiculous. My step-daughter and her fiance' both who have disabilities, went to Walmart where they were followed through the store by a person who is not of our nationality or so they said. My stepdaughter then had her Dad take her to get a weapon and some pepper spray for when she is out shopping. She is deathly afraid of what is going on. She is Autistic but is on the low side of the Spectrum, graduated High School and is getting her Degree in Accounting. She drives too and holds down a job. But when it comes to self-defense, I don't know if she could handle it.
Offended was a strong word. I am all but impossible to offend. Mostly, the comment just seemed extremely out if place. We are all in the same fight. Just know that this Spaniard likely has a gun in his backpack that is there for anyone I can help. I wouldn't carry if I thought everyone had good intentions. I was just hassling you.
Everyone is a liar, my friend. Often lying is the kindest of options. Now go tell your wife that you are very sorry for lying, but it is actually her butt that makes those pants look small.
I'm still pretty brown as I work in the sun. Honestly, I relate more to being white than anything else. Kind of the way I grew up. Don't get me wrong, I profile as much as tge next guy. I also prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt, for better or for worse.

I don't think that you have ANYTHING to apologize for.

Now you are a liar, thanks for the proof.
But aren't all fake victims liars by definition?

Spain? You're European.

Backpack eh? So were you planning something or not? 😂
