In today's stupefied America, it wouldn't be safe because the police will be called and the police escalate things into unnecessary violence. In the 60's through 80's it would've been fine, but not now.
Richard Pryor in 1979 on policing:
> RP: Police got chokehold on you out here though, they choke n--- to death! I mean you be dead when they through! Did you know that?
> [Audience indistinctly yelling back "Yeah!"]
> RP: The n--- going "Yeah we know!," white people going "no, I had no idea!"
