Black students at the University of Minnesota say racial descriptions in crime alerts does not help catch suspects. Instead, it's hurting black male students.
There have been more than two dozen crimes on or near the U this year.
Crime alert after crime alert describes many of the suspects as young black males.

Ian Taylor, a junior and president of the Black Men's Forum, said many of their members have expressed concern over how other students treat them.
"You might walk a certain side of the street and someone might walk the other way or the other direction just this feeling that people feel unsafe around you," Taylor said.
The racial descriptions are leading to racial profiling, according to Amber Jones, president of the U's Black Student Union.

There’s only one race. So it isn’t a racial description, it’s a color.
Maybe they should include gender identity?
It's hard to tell from the way the University of Minnesota administration acts, whether its president is Eric Kaler or Chuckles the Clown.
The constitution is not a suicide pact. Until somebody does something about the problem, non-blacks will continue to avoid young, black males. And it's just too bad if they're upset about being profiled. They're the ones committing the crimes.
Absolutely. Then the PC Police Dept. can get right to work shaking down and frisking little old blue haired ladies as soon as possible.
It’s about to become worse.
Obama now wants schools to ignore the conduct of blacks in schools, and concentrate on whites in order to equalize suspensions. One of the most stupid things I ever heard of, it should encourage blacks to even more outrageous conduct, as they get away with bad conduct.
Where I am now, a town of about 3500 souls, I do not think there are as many as half a dozen BMs. They keep a pretty low profile. There are other reasons to carry though.
you are right and the fault is that its feral blacks doing the assaults..I rarely see the race of the ones doing the assault, so we all know its not white or asian...Obama once told his people to “get in their faces” Its ok with the president and his own brand of KKK.
LOL!
