Is Racial Profiling Wrong?
Recent news reports have revealed that the FBI is planning to release new Department of Justice guidelines, slated for implementation later in the year. These proposed guidelines apparently make racial profiling not only an unwritten practice, but an avowed policy of the FBI. The proposed guidelines would give the domestic intelligence agency authority to investigate American citizens and residents without any evidence of criminal acts, relying instead on a "terrorist profile" that would include race, ethnicity and "travel to regions of the world known for terrorist activity" to spark an initial "national security investigation." Answer: I'm not concerned about racial profiling, I'm white. I'm black, we already are profiled. Mexicans look like arabs. Racism is as American as Apple Pie!
