I feel very bad for the great majority of Blacks and Browns who are not criminals but are profiled nonetheless. But why aren't Asians profiled? If profiling is simply due to racism, why aren't Asians profiled? The only time Asians are profiled is when there is some exotic illness from Asia, or expectations about academic success. Ya'll know it is true.

SJWs never have an answer for this question. Profiling is human nature, and it sucks, but it is common sense. If you want to reduce profiling, reduce the extremely disproportionate rate of crime and violence on the part of Blacks and Browns. The FBI stats reflect reality.

Also, studies that claim to show equal rates of drug use rely on self reports. When more objective measurements are used, the racial differential is revealed.

I was once profiled, even though I am a White man. I was walking on a college campus and was approached by a campus cop. He started talking to me asking me questions. Soon he told me he was going to have to detain me cause I matched the description of a guy accused of attacking a female student. It sucked, but it is sometimes necessary to profile.

Why can't you give the officer the benefit of the doubt?


The difference is Gamecock fans know Lattimore's character and we don't know the cop. You give the benefit of the doubt to the person you know not some stranger. I would think that was pretty obvious.

No, you do not know the private Marcus Lattimore. You know the public Marcus Lattimore.

You have to remember. OJ Simpson was once a beloved character in America. He had another side that the public didn't see when he was running through the airport for Hertz Rent-a-Car.

I'm in no way saying Marcus Lattimore is like OJ Simpson. However you know as much about the private Lattimore as everybody did the private Simpson.

There is no glove in this case.

In the OJ case, people were dead.

Do you know the officers involved? Do you know how long they've been on the force? Do you know if they have any complaints or actions against them?

If not then pot, meet kettle.

The “the cops violated my rights and I’m white” argument in defense of cops is among my favorites.

No need to answer this, the entire US already knows the answer. When you buy an alarm system for your home, you thinking about defending against blacks or Asians?

That's not profiling. That's matching a description, BOLO or flyer. There's a big difference.

Actually I do know him and his family. His mom would beat him down for doing anything wrong. That is one family with strong family values.

There are stories after stories about crooked cops. Some are good and while I support them I also know the power behind that badge turns some cops into crooked jerks at time.

A profile is a description too. Give me a break. You are splitting hairs. The typical perpetrator, for instance, of an interracial violent attack in this nation, is a young Black male. FBI Crime stats show they commit 9/10 of all interracial attacks, and that is even after lumping Latinos in with Whites. Age and race are descriptors. Try harder.

So, White people rights cannot be violated?

Let me guess. You're one of those, "Black people can't be racist", idiots?

Of course White people can have the rights violated, you imbecile.

Let me remind you. White people wrote the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.

Explain the difference in me being profiled and pulled over in a Black neighborhood for being White. And a Black man being profiled and pulled over in a White neighborhood.

There isn't a difference in a situation like that, assuming all the context is the same.

I'm not sure what that has to do with what I said.

I'm quite sure they don't just look at race and make decisions based on that. They are looking for patterns in behavior and things like that.

Quite a bit different.


I'm quite sure he didn't say "racially" profile...

You seem to be dismissive of people who have brought it up.

I've been pulled over for being a White man in a suit and a nice car in the projects. I was told I obviously must be buying drugs. I was not buying drugs.

I'm dismissive of anecdotal evidence. In the same way if some person said on here that he was black and gets harassed by the cops 100 times a day. It doesn't matter what angle its coming from, I don't like anecdotes.

Ok, that might be very true. I have no idea. My dismissive nature is not because I don't believe you.
