I guess your skills as an official Negro Whisperer, aren't quite as cemented as you believe....LOL.
You're beating this "expert on blacks" bit to death. It wasn't funny the first four times you used it, but hey, persistence is key, right?

Except you didn't "simply point out BQ isn't one of [my] alleged "Black friends" - you used outright insults and sarcasm in response to a pretty innocuous observation that I have not heard similar sentiments expressed by any African-Americans I know. Your repeated use of these insults and this sarcastic attitude shows you have nothing of substance to add to this discussion. Furthermore, I wasn't dismissing BQ, claiming that her worries were misplaced, that's where YOU'RE being presumptuous and race-baiting. I was not making any assumptions about where BQ lived or what type of neighborhood they lived in. Simply that the African-Americans I know do not express similar sentiments as her.
Am I not allowed to mention the opinions of African-Americans I know? Or am I supposed to dryly quote statistics like a good little liberal and reassure BQ that her worries are well-founded? I think your only real problem with me is I'm not parroting your views like you think I'm supposed to.

You can pretend that I misconstrued your words and cry that I'm a race-baiter all you want.
Well, no, I didn't, and yes, you are. Funny thing about people who use the race-baiting bullshit, they're most often racists themselves. Except your racism is subvert and hidden, I assume. Hiding behind the "heroic" persona of the person who is going to call out racism where it isn't actually occurring is a mark of the closet racist.

You don't like that I said it? Well guess who doesn't GAF?
ME.
Now proceed with your tantrum...
Let's recap.
I never made assumptions about BQ or where she lives or her economic status.
I simply said "It's highly unlikely you'll ever be killed by a police officer, especially if you're not a criminal (although that doesn't seem to stop plenty of cops)."
I then repeated that none of my African-American friends repeat the same sentiments as BQ, though SOME of them are more worried about people in their own neighborhood than the police (this is not a comment on where BQ lives in any way shape or form and I'm not sure how you could misinterpret it as such).
Your repeated use of sarcasm, race-baiting bullshit and hyperbolic insults show me that you have nothing of substance to say here. You're attempting to take a completely innocuous reply and turn it into a racist comment, and it's not going to work. Sorry. Nice try.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
