Hell, Jesse Jackson admits HE profiles based on race.

Few years ago was quoted saying at night when he’s in certain places going up stairways and someone’s coming towards him, he is relieved when he sees it’s a white person.

You’re freaking nuts if you don’t profile. Not when the fbi crime stats show that profiling makes perfect sense based on racial factors.

Anyone who listens to black rap all the time is a danger. That music has only one purpose, to get people angry. Angry at everything and everyone. It ain’t Billy Ocean.

Smart people profile based on situation.

Lemme construct a scenario for you (yeah, I know that it's a strawman argument, but it was presented to me this way and I really agreed with it....).

It's after dark, you're at a walk-up ATM. You see a young black male, wearing a (gasp) hoodie and ghetto-bag pants. His hands are stuffed in his pockets. He's ambling up slowly towards you, looking around from side to side. What do you do?

Me, I get the heck out of there. Call me a racist for it.

Now, turn it around. You're at the same ATM. Same time. Same situation. Same black kid. Except THIS time, instead of thug-life clothing, he's wearing a neatly tailored suit. And instead of his hands jammed in his pockets, he's carrying a briefcase in one hand and an ATM card in the other. He's striding purposefully towards the ATM.

Would you even give him a second look, or a second thought?
