Keep in mind that slavery and Jim Crow WERE NOT CRIMES while they existed. Racism HURTS PEOPLE!!! It's socioeconomic violence that ROBS people of equal opportunity, increases unemployment and poverty, segregation....and even lowers life expectancy as a long term consequence. It's a moral crime.
And the aggregate of most police location is NOT in the black community. The vast majority of police in this nation do NOT patrol the black community. The police are disproportionately located in the black community, they argue, because violent crime disproportionately happens in the black community. I do not argue with any of these facts. It is TRUE. I am just saying that Racism is socioeconomic violence and we should stop and frisk whites because that is where IT disproportionately manifest....and I am talking about NOW
OK, so European Americans (even on paper) are more prone to being rapists, to drunk driving, to drug addiction, to having drugs in their possession when driving, online fraud, identity theft, amongst other crimes that are too egregious to mention on this forum... Does that give the police the right to randomly stop European Americans when they're driving because they might have had too much to drink? Or to seize their computers without a warrant just to ensure they haven't been engaging in any cyber crimes lately? If European Americans were scrutinized as heavily for their crimes as minorities their would be more of them in prison and the statistics would read very differently.
I listened to a radio show this morning where a former NYC police commissioner said that there is a higher probability of white police officers killing blacks ONLY because most violent crime occurs in the black community. He went on to say that the “stop and frisk” policies impacted most heavily on black people ONLY because most violent crime suspects are black .... so the black community gets the most attention from the policy (paraphrasing the last statement). Yet, he went on to say that it is wrong to judge the entire NYC police force as racist because of the actions of the few…..yet…..he rationalizes and defends targeting the black community for stop and frisk…..based upon the actions of the few because most violent crime comes from the black community.
To that I say, then, we should have a policy to stop and frisk for racism, targeting the white community because historically that it where the most destructive racism came from. If violent crime in NYC was reduced by targeting the population that is most prone to violent crime, we should be able to reduce racism by sweeping the police force, corporations, the courts, banks and all positions of authority with a stop and frisk random racism test. We can administer written test, give lie detector test and send in “testers” one black one white with the same qualifications and see what happens. Again, this would target whites mostly because history shows whites have the record for being the most racist.
It’s hypocritical how some minds work. On one hand, a very small percentage of people doing violent criminal acts can make a city “unsafe” and reduce the quality of life of people. No one has coined a phrase like “the crime card” to disparage the idea that crime is really a problem, even though only a small percentage of the populations are committing violent acts. In contrast, however, no such power and influence is given to racism. Racism does not ruin anyone’s qualify of life as it is benign and never responsible for anything and a term has been coined, "the race card", to disparage the idea that it is a problem. Furthermore, racism has to manifest in 100%, and not small percentage, to be a legitimate issue. Why? If a small percentage of people doing crimes can reduce the quality of life for millions then why would not a small percentage of people being racist have the same impact on job opportunities, housing opportunities, loan opportunities, jury decisions, police reactions…etc.? Again, the focus is on the white community because like blacks have the record for crime, whites have the record for being the racist. Thus, given that there are 5 or 5 whites for every one black person in this nation, and one racist can impact many, even a small percentage of whites being racist can and DOES have a much larger impact on black lives.
LOL

No. Because that would be a waste of time and not solving the bigger problem (why the police are having to frisk at all), there is just too much crime in the urban minority neighborhoods. "Frisking for racism" isn't going to halt holdups in the shops and breakins in the apartment buildings in the poor city areas.
Again, the simple solution is for there to be black majority police forces covering the poor urban neighborhoods. Need a crime watch task force? Send in black police officers to frisk the suspicious looking people. Black officers to police the black neighborhoods. That way, it's not "the white man keeping them down".

Wherever there is poverty there is more crime... This is true even in your beloved European countries. The "bigger problem," as you put it, is how and why these firearms are getting into the poorest regions of the country in the first place. Maybe, just maybe the "powers that be" have more of a hand in it than you would like to believe.

Why not stop and frisk for racism then?
