This thread is older but I'm here to say that this, and the other posts about Women needing to be careful, are all valid.
Multiple things can be validated at once.
Example: George Floyed made some pornography, Yes, his life being taken by the Police (I don't know if it was *******/Substances, but w/ that being said people go missing everyday & dead bodies get found everyday, some never get closure, Reality can be sinister regardless of how the Entertainment industry paints Life. Same w/ Ideal-isms such as "Defund The Police, in its entirety".) is still not OKAY.
The Police & Humanity itself cannot play the role of "GOD", but it happens regardless. Being dismissive of this fact, on a forum dedicated to a Sexual Orientated Lifestyle w/ Black Men being the centerpieces, is simply idiotic if you are directly against this "PSA"- esque post.
W/ that being said, there's also an influx of younger people exploring their sexuality way more openly now, and that right there can cause issues in Lifestyle spaces such as this.
An older person can easily manipulate the mind of some1 younger & set them up for failure/*******/death. I'm from VA and live in a fairly mixed environment, but I am no fool to the fact that racism, robberies, murders & everything inbetween can correlate, specifically in this area.
Caucasian couple literally got arrested in VA Beach for driving into a crowd of peaceful protestors, and a couple weeks ago (not race related) a Woman ran over a Man & killed him over, what I believe was, baby support money.
Anyways, if you're Black, just remember to be smart about this stuff like OP and others have mentioned. If you need too get yourself a Burner Phone/Paid App to Vet prospects out. Anyone legit on here, or in more non-traditional Lifestyles, should/would be doing the same or similiar.
******* Dealers get made fun of for being so paranoid, but its a reason the ones who never run into issues never get caught up, they vet thoroughly.
Lastly, I don't know if its still a "thing" online, but get the person you're setting up something w/ to create a Video/Photo holding up a Spoon/random item. The spontaneous of that is more likely to show that person/couple/etc is real, at the very least.
