Where though? In a inner city or rough neighborhood with a lot of crime? Yeah, I'll give you that. I would be more afraid to carry if I was black in certain situations versus being white for sure, but it's not a reason to not arm yourself if you are black and want to.  Plus most mass shootings in the states are done by white males, so I guess you could say you have a perception edge there if you're black. Vigilance is key.
