I've never crossed the street to avoid anybody. When I'm walking with my five year old brother and I see a black dude on the same side of the street I don't do shit different with him. I'm not saying that all the time, but basing off of the way that you worded your question with "Why do white people. . ." in comparison to "Why do some white people. . .", I think that some of the time shit like that happens you're over analyzing the situation. If there is something across the street.. and somebody crosses the street, it may not be to just avoid you. If somebody holds their kid, or asks their kid to stand closer to them it may to give you room to walk by. You don't always have to pull the race card on shit like that. I really doubt that every time you walk places it's with brick walls on both sides of the sidewalk and like, 10 feet wide sidewalks. There are so many extencuating circumstances for why shit could happen it's pointless trying to answer this question.

I do recall answering over five questions with black people asking white people shit. People think differently, sometimes groups of people think differently. People who aren't in that group, but see a common trend or may just see something from one person in that group that's not necessarily normal to them, raises interest. People who are interested in something, but don't have the resources necessary to answer them, tend to ask questions.
