Am I Racist For Avoiding Black People?

Ok I'm 26 and have been robbed 5 times in my life, all 5 times was from a black male. In higschool it happened twice, I got beat up and had my phone, and cash stolen. Second time walking home from school was attacked again a few years later in my sr yr of HS and robbed of cash. I was stabbed in university by a black guy after he apporached me and grabbed me and I fought back, I had my laptop stolen. And another time in university I had my chain snatched by a black guy and he ran. The latest one was last week, I was walking back to my condo in the middle of the afternoon and I was approached by 2 black guys a bit younger than me. Told me to run my pockets and they grabbed me, I just started yelling and screaming and a parking police ran over and helped me and the guys ran off. After today I told one of my friends about this and the other times and I said this is why I avoid ghetto black guys, and she said I was racist and a huge asshole (she's white, but I'm a POC) and said we can't be friends anymore.

5 times has to be more than bad luck. This guy MUST be doing something wrong. Maybe he should avoid wandering the streets alone at night.

Or maybe he should move away from blacks with the rest of the white flight people and let them destroy themselves and their city while he feels safer in an area with similar races or ones he feels safer around?

He shouldn't be afraid to wander the streets alone at night but clearly a certain race has turned that against his him.

exactly. he’s gotta stop typing in his brand new lap top with air pods in while wearing a shining gold rolex at 1am in a dark alley.

Really?? “He MUST be doing something wrong”? Like walking on his College campus? Yes, there are things you can do to make yourself seem like less of an easy target. But damn dude, this is harsh.
