Read the words of one of my personal hero's (Walter Williams) and his take on Blacks and profiling.
Quote:
Right now, there isn't enough known about the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, a black, by George Zimmerman, a 28-year-old part-Hispanic, during his neighborhood watch tour in an Orlando, Fla., suburb. If evidence emerges that Zimmerman's actions were not justified, he should be prosecuted and punished; however, there's a larger issue that few people understand or have the courage to acknowledge, namely that black and young has become synonymous with crime and, hence, suspicion. To make that connection does not make one a racist. Let's look at it.
Twelve years ago, a black Washington, D.C., commissioner warned cabbies, most of whom were black, against picking up dangerous-looking passengers. She described "dangerous-looking" as a "young black guy ... with shirttail hanging down longer than his coat, baggy pants, unlaced tennis shoes." She also warned cabbies to stay away from low-income black neighborhoods. Did that make the D.C. commissioner a racist?
There is more at the link and it is well worth the 4 or 5 minutes to read the rest.
Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell are two of my favorite .. Uncle Toms!
Walter E Williams and Thomas Sowell exemplify the kind of reasoned discourse that all people should aspire to. I enjoy reading the opinions of both men.
I don't always agree with everything they say, but I can say unreservedly that what they say always has merit and is worth consideration.

And the 'Liberals' .. along with the NAACP, Black Panthers and ..The 'New' Black Panther Party absolutely despise men like them!
Joe Biden probably tolerates them though because .. They are both .. "well dressed, light skinned black men who don't speak with a negro dialect"!
