Depends entirely upon the situation, if you're in a queue it could be the grimace of "yo whats up with this shit dawg" smile nod. Or if it's out and about at the market then it's more casual.
Where's this from?

Well I guess it didn't. I don't want to type that post out again though.

Though seriously it's probably i never stayed in a western country before recently all the black people i meet on the street respond the same way.

Find out where they live and burn their houses down.
Or just ignore them. What am I, your counselor?

I'm an elementary school teacher and you are one hundred percent correct. We have students who go from caring empathic respectful student to rude aggressive disrespectful piece of shit the minute they get around their larger group of friends on the playground.
But it isn't just kids, people in general feel more brash and ballsy in large groups. They feel safe from being shamed or facing consequences and can do or say some pretty reprehensible shit.

I was hesitant to click on the thread because I thought it might be some depressing article on bullying that would upset me, but it's just some kids giggling...

I am also semi well traveled and the head nod technique works in multiple continents. I think these days it's not only the unconscious fear of the black man. But I think the black man now has an unconscious fear of being despised by all the white people around him. Like maybe, (the white people) they're all secretly sharpening their butcher knives and hurriedly whispering among themselves what to do about this urban problem.
So I think locking eyes head nod and a smile, is these days mutual reassurance.
In fact in some scenarios and situations I've been in, the black guy is actually trying for the eye lock before I even begin scanning the area. Even my girlfriend started to pick up on it when we were in Mexico and I explained to her my technique and she started to agree with what first appeared to be total insanity.
"You're going around scanning a room for black people to make eye contact with and then nod at... that's strange"
"babe, it's a mutual contract we're both looking for it!"
and then later she'd even notice black dudes stare at us and initiate the head nod so at that point I had redeemed myself and retained the most important high ground.

Stop in your tracks. Slowly turn and walk twards kids at deliberate pace. As you get near start to crack a smile.
Unless you are dealing with real baddasses they will scatter. In the case they don't scatter 180 and sprint back to your house, not stopping or turning around until you lock the door behind you.
Or just ignore them and get on with your life.

Just wave and smile back at them. Flash them a peace sign. Keep being positive.
Not sure about the fear of being depsided but i do notice in african countries and everybody just minds their own business unless they need anything. It's only in countries that has a black minority group that does the nod thing. I lived in africa and an asian country where i barely see black people not my relatives at least while i'm outside, the nod thing only happened in western country. It was weird for a minute

One summer in NYC some kids started following me and one, annoyingly, was flinging blueberries at me the whole time. After a couple blocks, I turned around and said to the blueberry kid "damn, I bet your mom wishes she would have aborted you." The kids all went dammmmmmn and stopped in their tracks and quit following me. The kid who was throwing looked horrified and was speechless.
Shitty kids suck.

Also the worst is when you got some asshole kid pressing his legs all over the back of a seat on a bus.
The worst situations are of course the enclosed type, I can't exactly get up off the seat in a crowded bus, and the asshole kid just keeps on kicking the back of the seat for 15 minutes.
And I'm sat there thinking of the the most satisfying way to murder a child. lol. Oh well gives me something to think about during the ride I guess.

Say something to the good-for-nothing parent. I've done it before. No more kicks.
Well, that was on a plane, not a bus, but still.

By kids I mean anywhere between 5-16. So sometimes there are no parents. I give it some leeway and besides, I was just as much of a piece of shit at there age so I exercise patience.
Besides instead of kicking the back of the seat, they may start covertly wiping their bogeys on your clothes. I used to do that.

We had an empty lot behind our house and some older kids built some bike jumps there which I didn't mind. My daughter who was 5 or 6 at the time was back there with her friend running up the bike jumps while no one else was there. Sure enough the older kids came from the woodwork and surrounded my daughter and her friend. They didn't realize I was watching from the side of the house, I let play out until they ripper a shovel out of my daughters hand. I went up and snapped on them and told them to get the fuck out of here and if she's back here when they are not to say a word to her again. Since then there's been no problems.

Next time wear something they can identify with, like a Justin Bieber t-shirt, approach them and say, "How do you do, fellow kids?"

save a silent but deadly fart for these occasions
What why can't you flip the bird at them? If they're being little cunts call them little cunts.
My first interaction of this kind was when I was 7 and I was in a park and I stumbled across 3 little shits beating a hedgehog to death. Fuck. Called them little cunts and a fight ensued. Hard to do the fighting when you're 30 tho

I think some of you are being really dismissive of the op concerns here, I'm guessing your either young yourselves or maybe you've never experienced groups of kids giving you shit.
The OPs example was rather lightweight but I've had an experience in the past that ended up with the police being called and myself having a fight with the father of one of the little shits.

How'd you do?
Then I'm pretty sure whatever you have coming your way is just karma.
I never did anything like that at any age. That's disgusting.

Giving them the bird would be giving them too much power. You're an adult and they're testing you. Scare them. Don't threaten them outright, but say something to give them a reason to be afraid of you, and they'll respect you.
Or to take a different approach, catch them off guard and say something funny. If they're there all the time, you can probably establish a rapport with them. They're just kids.

It didn't really get far enough to name a 'winner'. There was a lot of pushing and grabbing and he took a couple of swings but I just pushed him into a wall. He threatened to come back once the police had gone and I told him that I know where he lives too and I'd recipicate any of his threats ten fold.
This all happened becuase I told a group kids who were swearing at my daughter to piss off. One of the kids went back to his parents and told them that I had 'had hold of him'

I know it was terrible! I do feel like a lightning rod that attracts crazy mofos though. Maybe it is karma.
I didn't do it much lol it wasn't my signature move or anything. But I'm saying, that shit happens!

Sounds like you won then.
Also, you have the patience of a saint handling it the way you did. If I was in your shoes that kid's claim of "having a hold of him" would've probably been true. I have a bad temper though when it comes to people messing with loved ones. It's going to get me in trouble some day.

kids can be punks, especially kids in groups
It's part of being a kid, unfortunately, i know i was certainly guilty of being a jerk at that age.
I mean, they could probably be snickering at you because they think it's hilarious that "old" people have to work out to stay in shape. They'll find out soon enough about the ravages of age though haha
