Years ago I took some guy to court because he borrowed money from me and didn't pay me back. Do you think he tried to get revenge?

It sounds suspicious to me.

It shows your ignorance Wellduh. I have friends of all races. I met quiet a few African people who I became friends with in college as well. So, stop making assumptions about people you do not know.

How long ago was this? I would be suspicious, just like you are. It seems that he asked for the money because he got you the job and there was nothing else in it for him. Sort of a finders fee, and may be part of his culture. Then, he feels you used your power over him to get the money back, causing even more disrespect. You will have to determine if he has the capability to do the "horrible stuff" or do you think it could be from someone else. Only you know who you hang around with. But, lots of times, a girl's lifestyle just adds problems on top of problems regardless of an individual man. It's no-good men in general. The best way to solve a problem is to not have it. That means avoid people if you think they are going to be a future problem. My suggestion is to build as much time and distance between you and this guy as possible. Don't confront him, don't ask about him, don't check up on him. Get away from him as far and as much as you can. Avoid all mutual contacts that you have, like your former lawyer-employer. Somebody you know could be talking to him about you. Overtime he will forget about you and chase someone else.

No I think you are totally paranoid, racist and rude.
