The statistical reality is that any black or hispanic man you see is probably not a criminal thinking that the police should treat them as a criminal on the basis of skin color is evil and against the law.

The irony here is that many White people are perfectly fine with people profiling Middle Eastern people as possible terrorist or many young Black males as potential criminals but bring up the subject of profiling White males as potential serial killers, child molesters or mass shooters and all hell breaks loose.
It would seems that many White Americans are perfectly fine point out the problems in other communities or cultures but when the same is done to them a wall of denial is thrown up.
But we don't profile, at least not legally allowed.
The TSA don't profile and there was the argument that profiling works in other countries.
But we don't profile is what it boils down to.
And I've never heard CNN call for profiling Blacks or Hispanics.
And sure plenty post their opinions on forums and opinion blogs and letters to the editor but that is not the same as having a host on CNN call out publicly for it.
If he were White calling for profiling young Black men, he would have been fired over the public outrage.

what do you call driving while black and nypd stop and frisk?
a black or hispanic driver is way more likely to be pulled over anywhere then a white guy, even though the majority of drug traffickers are white.
the only reason why white men whine about being profiled is because it would affect them. a previous poster in this thread disregarded nyc stop and frisk and said the same thing, that it didnt affect him so he didnt care.

If you think the TSA doesn't profile you are kidding yourself .
If you are saying that categorically law enforcement agencies don't profile I'm telling you that's bullshyt.
It's simply been proven too many times that they do.
Maybe not in Tx but yes we do profile here in Nyc. NYPD has a stop and frisk program that targets black and hispanic males. It is so bad the city had to de-criminalize possesion of small quantities of mj because whites smoke just as much as miniorities do but get arrested at far lower rates because the cops aren't profiling them.

Yet blacks commit murder at 6x the rate of whites.
Maybe that escaped CNN's attention?
Notice the defensiveness
