What you're saying is that because other black people commit crimes it's okay for the police and others to treat me like a criminal even though I haven't done anything.

And while the police are focusing on me group B has killed their parents, kids and husbands and are now making pies

Sorry, my keyboard is broken.

Anyway, I never said anything about following someone around,either.

You know what. I think white people are fed up with being called racist for everything they do. I live in Memphis. I am a minority here. I work with mostly black women and I get along with all of them but I have yet to be invited to their little party's. As the matter of fact, I don't think a single one of my white co-workers have been included in their get-together s either.
Most of my customers are black and I have been called a racist for just looking at them the wrong way. However that look was because the funny thing is, I do not remember looking at anyone in a special way.
It is all just assumptions and that is the real reason for this so called profiling. If this was back in the days I think you had a reason to complain but not anymore.

Yes, I did. Every experience with them seemed to be negative, with only a few positives. You dont seem to understand it and just make excuses for the behavioral and cultural issues. Over the past few years, more blacks have moved into the surrounding areas and crime has gone up, sadly. The concept still stands true. What do you attribute to this? Yea it sucks for the good blacks, but the bad ones ruin it for them. Local malls have started to have an increase in black population, and again as a result, shoplifting, robberies, parking lot car thefts and carjackings have shot up. Literally. These were NICE MALLS BEFORE! The nice black families who want to get out of Detroit to shop in the nice malls, well, they are few and far in between as the rest came to basically pillage the store. Maybe the Detroit area is different, I don't know. I welcome you to fly to the Metro Detroit area and I'll show you around. Go talk with security at stores, to police officers, and see which race makes up the majority of shoplifting, car thefts, etc, yet are a tiny fraction of the population over here.

you see the part about unreasonable search........no warrants without probable cause.........color of skin is not a reason or a probable cause.
Thank you. I was about to go there.

that is what is referred to as modern day white denial. Same concept as Obama being elected means their is not more racism.

By the way I am a white male too

and even if you are correct.....you think education and poverty have nothing to do with it right. It is something about the levels of melanin in their skin that makes them that way right??
