Isn't it weird how sometimes a store owner would follow you around, like as if your gonna steal something? It's weird, is it a racist thing, or is it just because its me. That's exactly like from that show "Whoopi." It's hilarious. Anybody ever watch Whoopi?

Sometimes it's race often it's race but also just as often it's cuz we're young. It sux when you're both. It sux even more that being a black kid is a problem for some people.

I was once profiled by the police because I was white. As a result, I was subjected to hell when I had arson charges brought up against me. Apparently, the police think only the white boy in the long black leather coat could set something ablaze. Needless to say, it wasn't I who committed the crime.
a*******. Every last one of 'em.

you got accused for arson?
But then again, the people with leather clothings do get policmen's attention.

Yeah I think that it was mostly the coat. It's almost unsave to wear one after Columbine and all. I'm not saying that excuses it but I just think that it was mostly the coat.

hehe..
we had a discussion about 'accusations' n stuff in english class once.. some say its a racist thing but for the most part a lot of ppl thought it was some teenage stereotype where everyone thinks all we do is steal.

True, but ask a veteran cop how to play 'pick the perp'.
It's not profiling, its looking for signs on the face and body language.
Sometimes it's written all over you that you've done something wrong. (sulking head, looking over your shoulders constantly, pale or yellow on the face from nervousness, etc...)

That's what profiling is. Don't use a word becuase of its social meaning. Profiling is what's used to catch criminals becuase they exhibit a common trait. It's become such a PC issue.
