Black, white, whatever
I work across the street from a large housing project in very large grocery store. Color isn't the reason; the "sticking to the man" mentality is. For example, if someone lets me cross the street, I usually gesture a hand as a thank you and cross somewhat briskly. On the other hand, many of the people living in this project do absolutely nothing and seem to walk across the street at a pace meant to infuriate me. Now I don't even let them cross; I try to be nice and I see this as extremely disrespectful.
All my friends, family coworkers, etc always hustle it up a little and give a gesture of thanks, since crosswalks around herere are few and far between. The walking in the middle of the street and the sort of behavior i described infuriates me.
