"I guarantee you if Caucasians were being racially profiled and stopped/questioned/searched more, no one would shed a tear for us.
We've got it coming for all the evil the white race is responsible for, after all...."
It sounds like Bullzeye has some problems he has to work through. One day he'll realize that people are people, regardless of race. Every race has their criminals, racists and upstanding citizens. If you lump one race into the same category it's obvious which category you fall into.

Don't worry about the bullet with your name on it, worry about the fragmentation grenade addressed 'To Occupant'.
I don't know why people try to bend over backwards to sound impartial when the evidence is there. One would be a damn fool to ignore it and a coward not to defend his conclusions. One doesn't give the benefit of the doubt when a misjudgement could cost him his safety or something important.
The term "likelihood" should also be non PC. It's being judgemental by estimating, projecting or forcasting into the future based on data from the past. We make thousands of judgements a day in our personal lives based on history and knowledge but in this case we are not supposed to because it's not PC. It hasn't happened yet so you can't guess at it. Ludicrous isn't it?
Thats what profiling is. Liberals are specialists in name calling, smearing and labelling when they have no argument. We have honored their label instead of defending the legitimate means by which we base our opinions.
I have very little problem with it. If I were profiled as a clean cut, young person, who drives a suburban with his wife in the passenger seat and has obviously worked for his home and cars/boat etc, then hey, no problem. Now if I were to be profiled as a serial killer, what are the chances I would have to endure that more than 1 time in my entire life???? that's fine with me, I will make that sacrifice.
NOW......if you choose to dress like a thug or gang banger, then you have CHOSEN, yes CHOSEN to be profiled. If you feel that you must have your * showing because your pants are down around your ankles, or your bandana mimicks a gang affiliation, or your general demeanor suggests that either you are, or WISH you were a thug, then SUCK IT UP, you made the choice. Your choices have consequences. If you are of middle eastern decent, then tough * also. You may have no affiliation with any terrorist organization, but the fact is, that after 9/11, we realize we must be on guard. therfore, if you wish to live in this country, you will have to live with being profiled. At least it's better than living over there. Americans are profiled as the scumbags of the earth in many countries around the world, how many times have you heard someone come back from a trip oversees and tell you how rudely they were treated? They didn't die or have to see a psychiatrist because of it, therefore, if you are of a foreign decent, it has simply become a matter of security, just as the profiling of those who choose to resemble or personify the gangster mentality. freedom is not free, so if you must endure some profiling to be an AMERICAN, then consider that part of your dues.

As you just admitted, a profile alone doesn't do it!
