Why do YOU think it was mentioned?
Your question implies that you think the OP is racist.
It was mentioned because it is part of the description:
1. There were two people.
2. They were both male.
3. They were both black.
4. They were both teen-agers.
5. They were both of small build.
6. They were in an unsafe, inappropriate location.
7. They were engaged in an unexplained activity.
If either the police or the community watch had been contacted about this unsafe situation, all of these descriptors would have been appropriately provided to them. It is no less appropriate to provide the information to us in discussing what transpired.
I have lost patience with intolerant people who are self-appointed arbitrators of what others may say, particularly with regard to race.
In this case I think the police or community watch should have been called. It was a suspicious activity, as well as unsafe. Interfering with the flow of traffic, even golf cart traffic, can be quite dangerous.
