I don't doubt that bias exists but I don't believe it's as widespread as the BLM types would have us believe. I don't believe it's as systematic as most liberals say. Not in a climate where affirmative action has existed for at least 20 years, where most institutions are avowedly anti-racist and where academia in particular is so anti-racist they've gone full circle and started demonising whites instead. Students will never hear the end of talk about American slavery, but I never hear them speak of the Arab slave trade that went on for far longer and that is in some ways still alive, or African slavery or the fact that almost all peoples throughout history have supported slavery at some point. White people ended slavery! Arabs didn't end slavery, Africans didn't end slavery, white Americans did.
So I'm a little skeptical of the drones that the universities churn out these days, they're about as biased and brainwashed as they come. Their sole purpose seems to be to deconstruct Western civilisation by all means necessary, and this includes "white heterosexual males". It's pure cultural Marxism driven by emotion and not reason. I don't love Western imperialism either but I recognise it for what it is and has been: a vehicle for a select minority of generational transnational elites.
These people are in love with the idea of "fighting the power" but they target the average clueless Joe. I don't see them going after the CFR, the Skull & Bones society, the Round Table group or any of the real players. They are everything these people abhor and imagine the average white man to be. These people aren't speaking truth to power, if they did that I'd respect them but I suspect they're too cowardly for this. At this moment they are the chief agents responsible for actively dividing people. Anyone that doesn't agree with their emotionally insipid Marxist critical theory verbiage are denounced as bigots, you're either with them or you're a bigot because "it's 2016". A great recipe for inflaming race relations and making anyone that doesn't agree run full speed in the opposite direction.

They didn't start profiling people out of a vacuum. First there was crime, profiling was a response to said crime.

Yes, and most people they would target would be innocent.
This is one of the most irrational arguments I've come across in this debate. It simply assumes that everyone targeted would automatically be guilty.
Again, if they went after Asians most of the people targeted would be innocent. It probably wouldn't change a thing.
You also simply ignore the existence of black ghettos that are infested with crime. Are they simply a figment of our imagination? They are as real as the crime within them are. Are Chinatowns infested with crime? Aside from the occasional Triad group I don't think so.

Well now we are back to blaming the whites for all the ills of blacks in America...
I got the solution, lets make the entire government black and all police officers too and see who will be blaming who for the ills of society
I blame welfare how about that.
Is interesting that people are falling for the agenda of those with the money financing this social awareness groups, then these rats seat back and watch the chaos they create, because they are sick and corrupted.

Thank you, Agartha -- well said and I appreciate that.
Apparently some just like and approve of this crap. At least the conversation can be had an that level now... an honest level.
But no one can now say that Black profiling doesn't happen... and that's exactly how many folks want it.
besides that, there are no races, just one, Homo Sapiens, with more or less melanin, that's all.

"Nonwhites commit 92 percent of all violent crime in New York City, and are responsible for 98 percent of all shootings, 91 percent of all firearm arrests, 88 percent of all drug arrests, 84 percent of all stolen property arrests, and 88 percent of all misdemeanor sexual offenses, the city’s police department has reported."
"If New York City were all white, the murder rate would drop by 91 percent, the robbery rate by 81 percent, and the shootings rate by 97 percent."
This is why they do it. Violent crime is not caused by profiling. I have stumbled upon this data and do not know an answer to solve it.
Here's the thing that you just aren't getting...
If a White guy is sitting on a corner reading the paper, and a Black guy is sitting on another corner reading the paper, according to this police chief, the officer must look at the Black guy as guilty of something and leave the White guy alone.
There is your divide-and-conquer. You have taken the side of the abusers. You know it. And everyone knows it. Even those who agree. You all just think it's okay. Because "they" deserve it.
When Obama gets control of all local policing -- because that is the end game here, total power and control over the people -- do you really think it's just gonna be Black people who are oppressed and abused? Nope. Take a good look, because it will be YOU too.
A problem that BLM types do not at all talk about. Probably because as millenials they are too self-obsessed to care about anything that doesn't directly revolve around themselves.
