What is Racial Profiling

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

I looked up the proper accounting of what racial profiling is and I found That it is the inclusion of racial or ethnic characteristics in determining whether a person is considered (likely to commit a particular type of crime or an illegal act) or to behave in a “predictable” manner. It is often confused with the more comprehensive offender profiling and has been perceived to be directed most often (toward non white) individuals. Although this practice has been common for centuries, the practice became (particularly controversial) toward the end of the 20th century in the United States, as the potential for (abuse by law enforcement  came to light.

I would like to thank Wikipedia for clearing that up, now should every person who is non white looking be profiled,well lets see maybe their car should be profiled, or their groceries, should a person be afraid to buy foreign music, eat foreign food, oh my God we have the Italian food fest every year (and I might add the food is wonderful). I have thought of the broader spectrum of the goings on in our world and something like this is uncouth, unfair, and just plain wrong. Has anyone looked up Jan to see if her “background is that of an “acceptable” PROFILE of what an AMERICAN should be. Does she eat beans or salsa oh my there should be a law! Oh wait there is. I wonder if Jan Brewer has put much thought into resigning her post as she has shown herself to be inept for the position in my opinion. When you give a mouse a cookie!!!

Outraged

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

I must say that I am outraged at the circumstances of what is going on in our country at the moment. There is a fact that all just seem to ignore out of convenience, indifference, in ability, or just plain apathy for what we are becoming. In my opinion If allowed to proceed in this manner Arizona will be the ground laid out for future profiling , of Gays, Blacks again, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, or any “non looking American. What is this truth is yes we have a big border problem yes we are at the brink of drastic measures, but knowing the short time just a while back we were struggling with this untouchable subject as a nation, and the underlying effects are in full force, where would someone object to the Federal Governments reprimand to correct a wrong and in this instance an injustice to any one who has either been born here or nationalized themselves for the very freedom of just being able to call themselves an American.

I am all for controlling our borders North South East or West, to any treasonous, communist, drug cartel, or terrorist organization. We are all of a decent from somewhere else on this planet there are the true Americans the Indians who could possibly be thinking that this is that old cliche of /History repeating itself again and again. We are a mixture that has melded a new people Americans we all look differently, think differently, and have our own distinct unique way about us. We as Americans in the greatest nation that professes to help those in need from Tyrants, Dictators,and the like (Hitler) for instance who would profile any and all for his inhumane cleansing of the Jewish people. Well this is a pickle we are here and there in this country and that helping Africans to be free from genocides, caused by the unjust rulers The plain extinguishing of a race that does not fit into their opinion of who should be there or not.

Well call out the Army the Navy , The Marines for Gods sake we are about to fall into a regressive state of tyranny right here on hollowed ground right here where we know better, right here where the Hub of what is wrong with the world, Where people of all kinds and colors and races can turn to for help. Well HELP,HELP,HELP,HELP. We are being duped we are conforming our laws to the will of just a few to desecrate our freedom and our rights to just look different, than what an “American” should look like. I love my country and I love the freedoms I have I have family that has fought for those rights and I am sure you all have or know someone that has given time trouble or sweat and even their lives for those rights as they well should have to benefit from such a great country.

What are we doing? What is it that we can do other than hurt ourselves with an unjustifiable problematic law? Are we who we say we are or are we just professing to be the upholders of humane behavior on this planet?
