I grew up in pretty wealthy suburbs. They do believe this, and they are absolutely paranoid weirdos. The news pretty much just throws hate and fear into peoples faces every night. Examples are stories about the knock out game, home invasions, ms-13, or ANTIFA. The schools I went to were pretty much 90% rich white kids, and we were warned about wearing "gang paraphernalia" like raiders jackets, or crips and bloods colors, or whatever.
gang paraphernalia like raiders jackets? the same black jackets kids started wearing in oakland in the 80s/90s BECAUSE it was unaffiliated with gang colors but still made them look hard (because the 80s 90s raiders were known to be a tough team, who plays tough offense and defense not bc theyre gang members..... )? i know white ppl are afraid of the raiders bc of NWA but damn get it right lol no wonder white ppl look at me funny when i rock the black
anyway heres an archived article from 91 discussing the gang raiders colors phenom
like jesus christ i was even alive in 91 and i left SF as a kid but even i know this /// white suburbanites really spend alot of time making up folklore and mythical shit about poor blacks // blatantly just misreading situations and yelling "gang" whenever they dont understand stuff

Not just black people! I know a guy who swore up and down that a Vietnamese immigrant was trying to kidnap his dog to kill and eat it until he chased him off with a gun.
From the Vietnamese guy's perspective, I imagine he started petting a cute, friendly dog until he was suddenly chased off by a gun-waving maniac screaming racial slurs.
Suburbia is like if you got all the psycho libertarians who live 30 minutes away from their closest neighbor and put them within a few hundred feet of each other, with an HOA. They all fucking hate each other and everyone else but they're not rich enough to own a bunch of land.
Yeah, in a recent thread it was mentioned how cities and the country more broadly have pretty much never been safer, but the news is very good at getting people to be paranoid about this stuff.

Suburbs exist because white people wanted to get away from POC. It's also probably the isolation.
