Jussie Smollet

[Stoked]

What time of day was this?

What did he look like, other than black? Attire, etc.

You knew he was walking behind you. Did you look over your shoulder multiple times?

Relatively clean shaven, clothes worn but clean. Brown jacket, shirt, jeans and boots. No slur in his speech. Firm hand shake and looked me in the eyes. Normal dude, probably going home from work. About 5’10 and probably 175.

I looked at him when I was walking my coworker to her car as he came from an area I didn’t expect. That’s it. Then I walked down the sidewalk maybe 30 feet to the bus stop. Then I stepped to the back edge so he wouldn’t have to walk around me.

Cool.

Cool.

Like I said. I would have liked to know if I did something specific that bothered him. I don’t think I did but it’s possible. It’s equally possible that he simply had a problem with me for my looks/race/whatever.

Could’ve been the day he was having. Or maybe he just looks for racial **** the way I find much white trash looks to start **** in some working class hero type of ******** way. Who knows.

Tbh, not sure how I feel about this article. I speak from a point of being generally very against any group based support, or opposition, because he’s a member of said group. Wether it be racial, religious, gender based...

Like Romney getting the Mormon vote because he’s Mormon.

I think there is more to the story that you arent telling us. Black guys aren't just harassing white dudes at bus stops for no reason. I feel like you are trying to Jussie us. You probably paid your mom to do it.

That would be quite the feat for her. She died in 2011.

Oh and you’re still a troll.

couple thoughts:
first - you have no idea what kind of day or other experiences he may have had prior to your encounter
second - given that he came from an area you didn't expect, your facial expression probably registered some element of surprise (or perhaps concern)
third - whatever your facial expression, it may register differently to someone who doesn't know you and/or someone from a different background
fourth - perhaps take it as a compliment that you appeared approachable and he felt comfortable addressing you

edited to add: OK, I think we've delved about as deeply into this little event as necessary (if necessary at all?)

I ride the bus frequently in downtown houston. We get all kinds of people downtown: aggressive panhandlers, literally crazy people that scream at stop lights and everyone else who is just trying to get home from work.

But the point is you have to play this game were you watch sketchy people of all skin colors out the corner of you eyes. If you look directly at them they get offended. Basically if you have a decent haircut and have bathed recently everyone gives you a single glance. (Except in the case of hot women. They get more looks.)

All valid, possible points.

Stoked has a very punchable face so the guy probably just didnt like the smirk that he carries around.

You sound like you’re trying to get Jussied.

May I suggest therapy.
