    DWB- Driving While Black. I've never been randomly pulled over but my friend has been pulled over a dozen times. Same neighborhood, similar cars, different races. And that's just for females. Black men in New Orleans have been killed for getting out of their car when being pulled over. Apparently, that makes them a threat. It's a travesty of justice.

    Everyone racially profiles in every situation in life. Its unavoidable and anyone who says it can be avoided just doesn't want to admit it. For some reason it's just wrong when police, who are human beings after all, do it.

    They don't like you they will profile you race has little to do with it. You so much as speak to one and they don't like it is vengeance time for them. Such they are.

    a legitimate law enforcement tactic. after all, persons of color are more likely per capita to be involved in criminal activity. why do you think so many blacks & mexicans are in prison?
