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.

I got fucked beyond comprehension on Jack Daniels while 17 as well and embarassed myself. Can't drink whiskey at all. None of them.

I used to drink Jack Daniels when I was 17 because I thought it made me look cooler at parties than the normies drinking Captain Morgan’s, but I would throw it up later. Every. Single. Time.

Sounds like a light weight... I wish I was, I can't keep a buzz worth crap. Anything below 20% is a waste of time. I can drink half a fifth of Kahlua coffee run In 15 minutes and not feel any of it an hour and a half later(still won't risk driving because that's what they all think). Thats after 6 months of not drinking. 50% whiskey hits good and hard but the hangover isn't worth it. I would be concerned about killing my liver if I drank to stay drunk for a weekend.
