And that’s why black men tend to be profiled. It isn’t racist, it’s just common sense.

Especially when they dress in the attire of hoodlems. When young black males change their criminal-prone, in-your-face behavior, fear of them will recede.
Actually “gangs” and “gang culture” are a really big issue in our society.
If you heard the interview of Rachel Jeantel (Witness 8 or Trayvon Martin’s female friend “Dee Dee”) where she says that Trayvon wasn’t going to hurt Zimmerman, as Trayvon was just going to give Zimmerman a little Whoop-ass, that should help you understand how in some folks mind, breaking a guy’s nose, knocking him down and beating him isn’t considered something that warrants a deadly force response. She felt that Zimmerman should have known and been able to spot Whoop-ass for what it was.
It is that kind of “reasoning” that means we will never have a meeting of the minds with certain subcultures in this country.
I am reminded of a similar mind numbing discussion on how it is impossible for Blacks to be racist (heard someone with a PhD explain that one, once) and how many times have you read that gang member X shot gang member Z, because he “disrespected him.” It is a cultural divide.
