Serving as a grand juror made me racist & paranoid

69% Normal
6 Comments

I recently served on a grand jury in NY and heard dozens of cases. Every single one of those cases involved a black guy or girl stabbing, shooting, robbing, or raping someone. Not once during my time serving did we hear a single case where the defendant was white.

Now, I have never been a racist person at all before this, and I hate stereotypes more than anyone, but after hearing over 50 cases like this I've begun to watch my back. I started crossing the street when I'm walking at night and a big black guy is behind me.. And on trains I always feel like some black guy is about to rape me, stab me to death, and then steal my iPhone.

This paranoia of mine is really interfering with my day to day life I've become too afraid to do certain things or go to places that I've been going my whole life =/

I know this is all terrible to say, and i'd never admit any of this out loud because I do have black friends I love dearly... But I just wanted to know if anyone else thinks this is normal ??

    Look up serial killers and then you'll be paranoid of white men trying to rape and eat you equally.

    I would say yes. Kind of. I think your somewhat overreacting to all the horrorible cases, but I'm sure that in your position someone could do this. Try hanging out w/ your black friends more. Maybe search up some white serial killers (in case, you know, you wanna distrust whites equally so) it's probably temporary. But if you continue to distrust black people, you should probably see a therapist. Or I don't know what I'm talking about. Probably both.

    Welcome to the REAL world. Those people who condemn whites for being racist would probably change their minds, too, if they sat on a grand jury and heard the crimes blacks commit. All you have to do is watch Maury Povitch or one of the TV "court" shows and listen to the typical ghetto black woman to figure out they're no better than animals.

    I guess you can hang out with your black friends until your fear goes away?
