[@anthonyblackman7669]

When I was a teenager I went with a few “friends” in the woods looking for worms, they were all black with me being black myself, in the middle of the search I was jumped from behind, those guys tried to harm me, which could have resulted in my demise, luckily for me I ran and got away, after that day I learn a very valuable lesson, never put myself in a position to be harmed with a group of people that’s not committed to me. I’ve been invited on fishing trips, boat rides, skying trips, outdoor camping, rock climbing, mountain bike riding, and I refused all of the times, because I never go anywhere with a group of people who’s not committed to me, white, black or other. It’s not about race or culture, but it’s all about who’s got your back, proven tested and tried. PS. Never be the only minority in any group of people, always make sure if you’re in a multi ethnic group that you have at least another strong person from your culture to even out the odds. It’s called common sense.
