Everyone, including blacks, profiles on the basis of "skin color, dress, speech, and other things". That is human nature and a fact of life. It is often called "first impression". Whether it is unacceptable or not is in the eyes of the beholder.

As an example, if someone, black or white, comes into my office looking like a neon sign, speaking in some odd deviation from the King's English, and gives every indication that he/she was clearly not valedictorian of his/her class in elementary school, I guarantee you that I will have him/her profiled immediately.

If this is your answer to my question, it is poor. You have what you consider a lofty goal (treating everyone the same). Just how are you going to accomplish it?

According to liberals one is not supposed to use his own common sense to judge who and what is dangerous in this world. And, they call that process profiling as if it is the ultimate racial tip off. By that logic, liberals should be enraged when a guy with green teeth and guns hanging all over him walks into an old west bar scene. People adopt 'looks' for a reason. Bikers do it, so do gang members. You gonna tell me if one is walking through the 'hood' and there is 8 or 10 guys standing around smoking pot, drinking beer, and wearing T-shirts that say "death to crackers" while target practicing with machete's that Joe Preppy should walk up to them and ask for directions to the local RNC headquarters? :please:
