I don't think people should be judged by how they dress. We all wear what we think looks good on us.
Unlike skin color and a few other things, such as age, clothing is a choice. How you choose to dress is a way of you telling every person you encounter who you think you are. Judging people based on what they choose to wear is very fair. I think it is perfectly reasonable of me to assume a person, who thinks dressing like a thug makes them look good, is more likely to be a thug than someone who thinks dressing in a business suit makes them look good.

As Oldhag1 pointed-out. People most-certainly do judge you based on how you dress, and that isn't a bad thing.
Think of it like you walked into a job interview, how are you going to dress? Why? For that matter, if you were the one doing the interview, what might you expect from your potential future employee?
The way someone dresses tells you a lot about who they are. People who dress like idiots, in the vast-majority of cases, are idiots.
In the most-extreme case I can imagine. Think if someone had a tattoo on their face. Would you want to hire them to be your lawyer? Or to be your family physician?
My sister joked about how, when my nephew was graduating, quite a few law-school graduates had "gauges" in their ears. And she wondered what they were going to do about the massive holes in their ears, once they began practicing law.
But, nope, business as usual. They still smile at me in passing and say "Hi there buddy" or "how's your day going?"...as if our nation isn't flirting with a race war.
Realize that might be a good thing. When people stop looking at each other by color of the skin we all will be living in a better society. Those treating you the same like you mentioned are people that think that way already. I don't see the need to treat a black person differently because I always respect and treat all people who show respect to others that way. The saying treat others the way you want them to treat you is a great motto to live by.

You portray what you are. You show up with a grill, meth mouth, pants sagging, gang colors or tee shirt (I do so love that), reeking of cigarette smoke, and talk like you never graduated elementary school you get judged by how you present yourself.

What are you talking about? No one said suit and tie. Nice putting your own assertions on me, biased much? See above.

I don't know where you live and why you would expect that, but if either race treated the other differently following an incident, Chicago would shut down.
Having said that, we both know somewhere some idiot will treat the next guy differently, just as some do to American Muslims following one of those incidents. I especially love when some moron tells them to go back to where they came from. Uhhhh.....they came from the United States. They were born here.
I don't think there's a race war going on. I purposely stayed away from all news this weekend. Is this bit about race war something the media is trying to feed everyone?
Some black men have gone rogue, to protest some cops who have done the same, but that's not a race war.
Whites were also protesting and blacks were also cops. This boils down to more than race. It's also about cops and the way which they approach people. I also believe when a cop pulls you over don't shoot off your mouth and say crazy things. Cops are also licensed to kill if you go off the rails. Don't be a dead fool. They're are good cops just as there's good protesters. Let's all use common sense.
