Who are "they", what do you mean "do", and what do you mean by "racial profiling"?

You're going to have to be a lot more specific...

Why?

now im by no means a racist or a bigot. in fact i have friends of certain decents. and yes by decents i mean middle eastern. however, short of a few incidents one including tim MCveigh, look at every terrorist attack since the WTC in 93. I'm sorry, but im just for it. actually, i think every single passenger should be screened, but some more than others.

So, you arent racist, but you believe that a group of people identified by their skin color are going to inherently act different, and be more deadly than others?

Makes sense. Admit it. You are a racist. Like it or not, if you didn't lie in that post about what you believe, then you are a racist. Congratulations.

I don't think it is right. You can't stereotype people by their skin color. People of all races do horrible things.

But if statistically one race has committed more horrible things along those lines, it's not right to watch them more?

That's like saying that even though pit bulls probably bite more people than shi tzus, you shouldn't be extra careful around them because
you are judging all pit bulls.

What I'm saying is that we should be careful around the pit bulls and shi tzus in order not to get bitten.

I'm not a racist but I do believe in profiling to some extent. For time reasons I won't go into that right now but tommorow when I have more time I shall go in depth on my opinion in this matter.

im not trying to sound racist, and to be honest i guess i shouldnt be focused on middle easterners. its really any islamic fundamentalist, its the fundamentalists that are crazy enough to do this stuff

hell i think the catholics were wrong with 'white mans burden'. im not trying to sound racist, and i know i do sound like one. but, we have to look at who took down the towers, who targeted those flights from london, ect.

all im trying to do is make sure no more innocent people die, to be honest. i really dont want to see another 9-11, and had those flights been actually hit, the same number of people probably wouldve died.

10 planes times 200-300 people=2000-3000 people.

Just pretend you are in the shoes of a person of Middle Eastern decent. You're not a terrorist, you know you aren't a terrorist, yet you are treated like you are a terrorist. It is just my opinion that racial profiling does not work and just stirs up controversy.

Im all for it.

But ile explain myself by giving you a breif lesson in MI. 10% of all muslims are shiite, 90% are sunni.

What is the goal of racial profiling? Its to give our government a leg up in recognizing iregularities in the populace that would stick out.. The different sects of Islam have different names that are asociated with them. Racialy, if a man dressed like a sunni, and his name is Hussain, we know something is up, because a sunni would never be named hussain, that would be like naming a Jew Adolf. Culturaly it isnt done, so you would segregate this person and search him thoroughly and ask him a couple questions.

What we are doing isnt so much racial as it is ethnic profiling. And isreal has been doing it for decades. And it works.
