"Black Men and Public Spaces" pg 412 Longman

Most of the time, people are generally nice and easy going. When you are in the bad side of town, however, that is a rarity. Just like the poor soul that wrote this story. He, just like some, was being the target of racial profiling due to their race or religion. Many people do this because of what has happened to them or what they hear on the news. It seems most people who are racially discriminated against are the blacks and some of the time they are used as the "scapegoats" in society, which isn't always the case. You could have an Asian male be the instigator of the crime, but the black male is sought after by police instead of the Asian male. He is more of the victim in this case than anyone else. He is just like the honey that a bear would seek out, instead of the other way around. This is why I make the claim that racial profiling should stop today. I know that can be tough and difficult process, but we got over slavery, didn’t we? So why not stop and help your fellow man out to stop this discrimination towards others.
