I'm sorry but until Mass media, rap artists, movies, and celebrity culture in general stops glorifying black men who wear their pants low, have huge gold chains and XXL shirts on with 9mm'ers and drugs... I'm going to be afraid when I jog down a dark road and see a group of black men dressed this way. Sorry, not my fault.
The problem isn't that the media represents those as problems, because they are. The problem is that the media over represents those issues as solely black issues.
Stop listening to the liberals who tell you you're a racist. Profiling can be a good thing. Think of all those terrorists we've caught at the airport. Who introduced this? Republicans. Who loves their country more? Republicans.
Thuggish black men are being glorified?? Hell, that's news to me.

Racist is if you see any black person and cross the street or think they'll rob you. Smart is if you see someone that looks like a thug (black or white) and you avoid them. Avoiding black thugs doesnt make you a racist.
And if you jogged down that dark road and saw a white guy with a 9mm you wouldn't be concerned?

I thought common sense was dead
Only organization doing that is the New England Patriots with Aaron Hernandez. Oh and he's not black....
Very odd that Obama is summarily executing thousands of his own semitic people in Gaza and the West Bank only for their religious beliefs.

Nah, it's just like common courtesy--y'know, not that common.

Thug's a thug: I'd feel the same way if a group of white dudes dressed like that were in my path on a dark street.

Yep. There are so many white and Asian troublemakers like this to worry about.
I also will not leave my children alone in an environment where a white male is present.I do not want my child molested.It is just the reality.

I agree, but I'm more likely to avoid blacks on the street. Yes, I'll avoid anyone thuggish, but I'm additionally precautious when they're a young, black male. I'll stay away from any young male in a chain and sagging pants, but it seems to me that that's more prevalent in blacks. Call me racist. I call it precaution; bring back Reagan.
lpd - Why do you always bring up molesting kids in these threads. You do every time. Are you some kind of sicko???
I think he's just pointing out how thugs are stereotypically portrayed as black while paedophiles mainly seem to be an old white guy with a moustache and rape van.

That is why it isn't a racist issue but a cultural issue. If the group of black men were dressed in khakis, button downs and penny loafers you probably wouldn't give them a second thought. (except maybe the penny loafers)
But calling it a cultural issue puts responsibility on the individual and we cannot do that.
I'd endorse that. It's more believable if they're wearing Sperrys, though.
That way of thinking would have not have saved you if you happened to be walking the streets of Isla Vista and saw a young caucasian driving towards you in a brand new BMW.

Wow dude, out of all the previous 19 post, yours have been the most racist... Some 2/3 were borderline, but yours was just straight up, flat out racist, really? The post about, "I don't care what color you are, if you look thuggish, I'm taking precaution" was actually legit, but this post? Really? I don't think profiling the black race is respectable?
And what the flip does this have to do w/ Reagan? Now you make him seem like some kind of racist, and he wasn't...
