Throughout the article, he shared many times when he was identified as a threat:

In a short article, Brent Staples 'Black Men in Public Space' discusses his own stereotype as he is an African American. It seems to be awful in "Public place" (Staples 225). Staples, a smart man, is a graduate student at the University of Chicago. His skin is complicated, he is not treated fairly and is always discriminated. On his usual walk in the evening, he met a white woman. She caught a glimpse of him and started walking quickly and avoided him that night.
