Racial Profilling In America?

I don't know why but No one ever profilled me racially for the 10yrs I have been in america. Maybe this whole racial discrimination is a myth. ofcourse there would always be one or two haters but it is not a common practice in america. I don't think someone would just hate you without breaking any law or doing something to them.

what do you think?

Racism is becoming a thing of the past.

As the years go on in the future, less and less people will experience overt racism.

This is all due to having a black President

No, I've never been racially profiled and I have lived here most of my life but I think it depends on where you live. Both Minneapolis and Seattle are some of the most liberal cities in the U.S.

I think Some blacks got Racio Phorbia shit about racism. Look at Prof Gates for example. The police Officer was called to help and Just because he asked him to come out to the yard, he used the race card on him. Fock that. 6 police Squard cars stopped me one night and ransacked me upset side down coz they were looking for a killer that had similar characteristics as me. Is that racism, No, they were looking for a criminal.

There is No Racism in America. It is Myth shit wallaahi.

There is definitely racism in America and before I used to be like you. I used to wonder why Blacks are the way they are and so over-defensive but now I understand when you have been slaved, dehumanized, oppressed, alienated and subjugated for so long through slavery, share-cropping, Jim Crow, and a system that segregated you officially and unofficially for so long putting you in a cycle of misery, dependence, desperation, you sometimes can carry a chip on your shoulder and would see very reactionary. One doesn't have to accept it but one definitely needs to understand it.

sxb that wasn't aracism. that professor over reacted. the police officer was called to help in break in and that Gates started over reacting. All he asked him was to come outside and he said your mama would talk to you outside.

Well, that's your opinion, but most African Americans see it differently. And just because you have never been a victim of racial profiling doesn't mean it isn't a reality that occurs regularly in America.

This is not about you but horta I laugh when Somalis say "I went here and they didn't know me". Somalis are very egotistical creatures, are people supposed to know or care about little ole poor and unimportant Somalia? :lol: I said that to one guy who was calling twonspeople ignorant and all these names because they didn't know SOmalia. I mean if Somalia was the land people were immigrating to and some immigrants settled in Isku Shuban, is the guy in Isku shuban supposed to know or have enough interest to know where in the world Belize is? :lol:
