I dont think thats what he meant. but lets be honest how many people lock car their doors when they see a white man approaching.
No matter how wrong it may be. Black men are PERCEIVED as scarier. Look at how they are portrayed on TV or how the idiot rappers portray themselves to the world.
Scary, drug dealing, murderous, non feeling, irrational thugs.
Society is still very segregated even now so media portrayal affects what alot of people think about other races subconsciously because that is the only way we really see other races.
Think about it. Who lives in the french quarter? what demographic? Now ask the same question about the lower 9th ward.
For some people all they know is what the TV tells them about other people, races and cultures.
If the media conditions you to think that way that is all you know.
The media conditions you to see white men as Mr Rogers and black men as Tupac or Nino Brown.
If you had to chose which one would you rob? Mr Rogers right.
I think thats all he meant by "Robber Friendly" hun it wasnt meant to be taken that literally.
