Oh come on people!!! It was not anything racist--- it was a description of the person who she was concerned about. I live in a predominately black neighborhood and I am white. We have had problems lately with gangs, guns and drugs and the problem stems from a group of black teenage boys. It is not racist to state the fact. It is not a group of white girls hanging out in the street cursing and selling drugs. The fact is they are black boys who are causing the problems.
To the OP I understand what you were fearful of and I think you made the right choices by remaining in your car and using your phone. I would have done the same thing. I am sorry you were so frightened.
My church is very multi-racial with races beyond just black and white. I have close friends who are other races and even my doctor is a different race. We have a very integrated society now so a description of a person including their race is not out of place at all. It can't be helped that people see color- God made us all different!
