So you would not focus your attention on anyone who is white more so then if they were say black?
So you would not focus your attention on anyone who is black more so then if they were hispanic?
So you would not focus your attention on anyone who is middle eastern more so then if they were a 5 year or a 95 year old grandmother?
They really does speak volumes about you and the leftist mindset.
No, I won't assume any white person I saw could be a white supremacist.
I am sure you would totally support rounding up every brown person in this country even if they were natural born Americans just because some of them might be illegals because that is what American freedom is all about, assuming people are illegally here because the color of their skin.

If you were a cop, and you were looking for one, would you not focus on whites more then you would black people?

From what I can tell, he is referring to things like New York City's "Stop and frisk". Many have complained that it is racist, because the vast majority of the people stopped were non-white.
Stop and frisk wasn't intended to be "racist". But it was a policy which focused on "high-crime areas". The problem is that, the high-crime areas are those areas with blacks and Hispanics in them. Thus the policy might "appear" racist, even though it really wasn't.
The question here is whether or not the police or other security forces should focus their resources on those areas of society, and those members of society which are the "highest-risk". Even if by doing so, some people are treated unfairly?
I understand that if the TSA simply stopped screening babies or the elderly. Then they could use them as easy ways to smuggle weapons onto planes. And thus, you need to create policies which at least assume on a certain level that anyone could potentially be a threat.
The problem I have with the people who are opposed to "racial-profiling", is that their arguments rest on the idea that no race or group of people are any more likely to be a threat than any other race or group. Obviously that is untrue.
I was talking to my niece the other day about customs enforcement. A lot of goods cross the border every single day. From what I have heard, only about 10% of all packages that cross into the US are actually opened by customs enforcement.
I was telling my niece how, it would make sense that packages from certain countries are given much greater scrutiny. I would assume that nearly every single package that comes from the Middle-East is opened by customs(or at least it should be). While packages from Canada are probably rarely opened.
The point is, no one is saying that everyone in a particular group is "bad". Rather we just realize they are a higher risk. And it would be better if policies were "reasonable" by directing resources where they are most useful.
I mean, I could take the words of Jesse Jackson himself to prove that point.
“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”

Not only that but how is questioning someone become an accusation? LE have to question people to solve a crime. As I said, racial profiling is prohibited but what is being discussed here is criminal profiling to solve a crime not racial profiling. As I also said, LE cannot ask you for your status in this country unless you can't provide a valid ID during "lawful" contact. That's not racial profiling. As usual the leftists and ethnocentrics are grasping at straws with their claims of racial profiling.
As for me and I am sure the majority of Americans don't think someone is here illegally just because they are "brown". Another one of their grasping at straws false claims. If all else fails use the victim and race card.

That is good to know, people that are not white shouldn't have to prove they are here legally if they are being law abiding citizens.
