You know, while there are places you don’t want to get lost in if you’re white, they aren’t as common as the racists make it out to be. Now, I’ve worked in a couple of those neighborhoods, but even then once the folks literally coming out of bushes knew I was there to provide care to someone, that was the end of it.
Being real, my cracker ass grew up in a black neighborhood. You know how many times I got jumped by black folks? Zero. Wanna guess how many times I did by white folks? Well, only three, twice by the same assholes, but that’s still telling, aint it?
My personal experience? Only time you’ll run into trouble for being a cracker is if its a heavy drug area and you ain’t buying. But those folks will be just as harsh to anyone, so I dunno if that counts or not.
Most violence is intraracial.
By saying intra instead of inter, you’re suggesting it’s within the races, instead of between (different) races. I choose to believe this was intentional and witty
It aligns with the context and their post history suggests they know how to use words. There is nothing bad with explaining rhetorics, but doing it like this comes through as belittling.
At the time of my comment, they had several downvotes. I posted my comment for clarity because it seemed like people misunderstood OPs comment
I feel like race is pretty irrelevant to this story. Boy gets lost, locals help him find his way. The fact he was white and they were black is only relevant because we’re expected to relate to the boy’s fear of black people.

Yes, it’s used as a bait-and-switch.
