Walking down the street in a predominantly African-American section of Boston. Man:: Hey, do you know where XYZ corner is? Me:: No, sorry. Man:: Well, you can't ask those black people.  They tell you the wrong thing.
Would you give people directions if you don't know where it is?
I only said what I truly felt. As I am walking in a neighborhood that is mostly populated by black folks, some of those folks are not that smart and so that's the reason for my statement.
I am not sure you can compare intelligence to knowing the directions to a store. Boston is a big place and I don't even know what we have in the corner.
