That's quite possible; men probably don't know what it feels like to be raped by a stranger, and women probably don't know how it feels to have one's "worth" connected to one's income. And as you say, whites probably don't look at racial profiling the same way that minorities do.

But how about THIS.....Some minorities don't understand the connection between behavior and image--- and the fact that sometimes, BAD things happen to GOOD people. Occasionally (believe it or not) even WHITE people encounter difficulties, rude treatment, and snap judgement....and there ARE negative things that come into our lives that have NOTHING to do with race.

Prisons are full of minorities PARTLY because of racial profiling....and PARTLY because the people "inside" committed crimes. It works both ways...

Then she should be made to serve in our military to maintain that American status. Again right along with all Foriegners that want to become an American. IF YOU WANT IT BAD ENOUGH, THEN YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO DIE FOR IT. Hey, our forefathers did, then so can they.

What you just described needs to apply to all Americans/legal residents------including Mayflower descendants as well as Native American Indians to be fair

This is true, I have always believed that ALL Americans (Male or Female) should serve in the armed forces. No matter what thier social status, color and especially religion is.

No one broke into her house to terrorize her.

She's a 15 year old girl. She was frightened. I imagine she becomes frightened quite easily, as is the case with many 15 year old girls.

ICE (may have) made a mistake. If so, there are procedures to correct the mistake. She was not terrorized.

More than once, I've been rousted by police because of my appearance. It sucks. It pisses me off. It is not terrorism.

Its just another way for some two bit lawyer to make alot of money and a name for themselves. And a way for the bratt to get money to spend at the mall with her friends.

The racist radicals do not care how minorities feel, because they were raised to hate anyone different from themselves. You would have thought that mentality would have changed over the years for the better, it may just be their upbringing, they love to hate

You are correct: so-called 'Brown Pride' groups like MEChA 'borrowed' the playbook from the KKK, etc.

You know the old saying "You kick a dog long enough, it will eventually bite".
Maybe they got sick and tired of being kicked.
