What is Cross The Street?
1.
An act of precautionary racism, crossing the street is undertaken by white men or women when a larger number of young black men are walking towards them on the same side of an otherwise quiet or dark street. While it is becoming more widely recognised that most black men are non-aggressive, it's better to be safe than sorry.
