shinobinoz Wichita, Kansas | #542 Apr 26, 2012 @ 03:40:57 @Forumless Said  shino, I'm not sure what you mean by your second response to my post. Can you give me a hint?  It seemed you used this event to support Dulu's post which read to me that racism & racial profiling is history and not a present concern is all. Sorry if that's not what you are Dulu meant. | |||||||

Sorry if that's not what you are Dulu meant. I realize that there's racial profiling in the US. The thing of it is that in certain situations I'm not completely convinced that it's a bad thing. In areas that has a history of certain groups causing problems, for the safety of others, wouldn't profiling be handy? If I was considered part of a racially profiled group I would prefer someone check me out. I would feel safer knowing that even though I'm one of the 'innocent' ones, someone is also making sure I'm safe. Does that make any sense? | ||||||

Aye, but when does it cross into harassment or holding you up to getting to your job you just might lose, or when it happens frequently to ya....... see how this plays out? They should profile on action not race. | ||||||

It's easy to say how you would feel if you're a minority, but if you're not a minority you need to just STFU and listen to people who actually are when they tell you how it feels. It does not feel good getting treated like a criminal all the time because of your skin color. | ||||||

I was lucky that it only lasted 2 years. I really feel for the people that have to but up with it all their lives. And jonnythan I will not 'STFU'. Thank you very much. (edit: I can't believe I said that) | |||||||

| Pellethie , Virginia | #555 Jun 02, 2012 @ 10:54:25There's a good chance the poster is not. there's a whole passel of these types who wou;ld like nothing better than to take this country back to the 'Jim Crow' days or worse. With white people being the new minority here in America, I imagine some are thinking about and acting upon damage control. | ||||||
