People are still getting profiled today...Even if you don't want to see it.

Man, what planet are you from? I've been pulled over in Bartlett for my tag light being out, and sometimes just for being out at the wrong time. I'm as white as I can be and I don't drive jalopies. My kids are white as white gets and so have they. My youngest got rousted for walking down the street about 10:00 pm. The cops said they should be on the sidewalk. They made them empty their pockets and everything. No warrant, no nothing. I have lots of white friends that have been pulled over in Bartlett for the same crap. Bartlett has nazis for cops, which is part of the reason I no longer live in the Bartlett city limits.

I don't know man. I haven't been pulled over but I have some African friends whose kids are homeschooled and live in Bartlett. The older boy was driving with his 15 year old sister. They got pulled over in their neighborhood and the cop yelled at them and wanted to know why they weren't in school. He didn't believe that they were homeschooled. The girl is one of my daughters best friends and it made the girl cry. Finally when they verified their address they let them go...without any kind of apology. My son and daughter are about the same age and have never been pulled over even though they have ridden together many times.

I am not arguing that it doesn't happen, it does. I am arguing that it doesn't only happen to blacks.

While true that it can happen to white people as well, it happens disproportionately more to black people.
