most non-black people tell me, after having known me for a while, that before they met me and they would see me in passing, that I " always looked like I was on my way to beat someone's ass, but I'm a pretty cool funny guy."
i have been in situations where I have been scared.
this look has helped me more often than not.

Lol, that's your New York look!
LOL it's funny because I forget that I look angry, and I always wonder why new white people at work avoid me until I say hello!
It's the scary black man syndrome. White people have an innate sense of knowing all the s**t they or their ancestors have done deserve an a** whipping. Don't mind me I just finished helping someone with a history course. Maybe you should smile more. LOL!
Sometimes the exterior fails to reflect the internal. I've had perfect strangers pass me on the street telling me to "SMILE!" So, I guess have the same SBMS.
Is it REALLY a Black thang? Don't think so... it's only others perception of us. But I refuse to smile like an idiot for no reason just to make others more comfortable in my presence.
One.
LOL I do! This is just my normal look when I'm not smiling!
Moanerplicity- I agree with you. I get that alot as well.
