I'm not sure what it is your objecting to, the idea the southern U.S. is unsafe for African Americans or people of colour is hardly news.

Are you suggesting it was a good idea to take these kids down there?
First of all, I think if you knew anything of what you were talking about, nothing about Florida is really considered part of the Southern US, especially South Florida.

Any of the black people living in upper middle class suburbs (Which I am sure he was) that I know don't feel substantially less safe than a black guy living in Calgary.

And lastly, what does any of this have to do with him thinking it was a good idea to try to rob a drug dealer??

(and is coloured really an acceptable term these days?)
