Yeah but there's a difference between an entire street of personal security systems accompanied by apps and social networks built on fear mongering.

"just vague fears" they're called opinions which I'm allowed to have and voice in a public forum. Sorry for trying to consider the well being of the less privileged overly targeted people getting aggressively kicked out of their neighborhood.



PoC have a voice. If they have a fear, they can express it. They don't need a random white person hand-wringing on their behalf when that person self-admittedly doesn't even know how they might feel on the subject.


I think white people giving a shit and talking about these issues is the only reason we've come so far. Your attitude would have kept us on the 1700s.


I never said white people couldn't "give a shit". I said that you self-admittedly don't even know the viewpoints of PoCs on ring doorbells. "Is slavery morally wrong" is a fairly easier question to answer in my book than "are cheap cameras available to most people morally wrong"
