How about you actually just trust her when she says what she needs?

I grew up in a bad area in Orlando, the same thing happened to my neighbor, they got a new car and it happened again. I merely made an observation based on experience.

No, you made an observation based on privilege and assumption and acted as a non-Black man speaking over a Black woman. Cut that out or get those BLM letters out of your profile.

I don't see how my privilege comes into play here, but it's nice to know I can't advocate for her safety by suggesting she isn't safe there without being told I'm being what I assume you consider an ass. I'm always open to learning more about how my privilege works though.

So..how about instead of being an ass to me you offer to teach me instead of presuming to tell me what I can stand for?

Don't presume you know more about someone's needs than they do. Especially when you inherit multiple axis of privilege over them.

How do you know: - it happened at her place and not a friends? - that they didn't catch the perp? - that she hasn't already made plans to move? - that your one experience scales at all in any way? You don't. You assumed you knew better.

And rather than doing what was asked you presumptively assumed you had a better solution because you think you are wiser somehow. That is privilege speaking.
