Why don't black people move over for you at the mall?

I noticed that black people will not move over at all when walking toward a white person at the mall. I swear. I pointed this out to my wife and she said if we would not move over we would be in a collision.

    Why don't you get out of the way?

    I am going to answer your question with a question.

    Why don't you move?

    I see it as the opposite way when the white person and I are walk in the same direction as each other the white person won't move over . It makes me feel that you feel that you was granted some right where everyone has to get out of your way.

    When i see this it pisses me off and makes me want to continue walking even if the means colliding. I don't do it, but now you can kind see the POV of some black people who do that.

    Next time you are in a situation like that just move over.

    I have noticed that too. The polite thing to do is for both of us to make an attempt to avoid ramming into each other but no, I am always the one that has to completely move out of the way with no attempt from the other person. Oh, and if you don't happen to move quick enough and do accidentally bump them, you get cussed out. So strange, and rude....

    Just rude, I don't think being black has anything to do it. Rude comes in all shapes and colours my friend.
