One incident with one call to the police--in a city of 105,000--about what happened to be a black man behaving suspiciously is hardly reason to stereotype and label everybody else a bigot, and then declare oneself and another as the only two here who are loftily not bigots.

In fact it seems quite bigoted to me to assume the neighbors wouldn't have called police on a caucasian man doing the same thing.

Nobody knows what everybody thinks individually in this city or on this forum.
