July 16, 201313 yr So...it's OK that because y'all are male I assume you are self-centered, misogynists?No! Now get back in the kitchen, baby cakes!
July 16, 201313 yr So...it's OK that because y'all are male I assume you are self-centered, misogynists? But you'd be right quite often. Hence the value of profiling.
July 16, 201313 yr Milk. It does a body good. If you like tall, tanned, beautiful women with perfect bodies. I guess.
July 16, 201313 yr Author Chose to portray? No. It's who I was. And just for the record, I didn't say some profiling wasn't worse than others. Also, if you dress a certain way or fit a description (like young and wearing a hoodie where people young wearing hoodies are breaking into homes) regardless of skin color you're likely to be profiled. Aren't you choosing the image you want to portray if you wear a hoodie and baggy pants? I'm not taking either side on the GZ/TM case because I wasn't there and don't know enough facts and neither does anyone else. You think I'm not profiled now if I walk into an all black neighborhood? You're fooling yourself if you say I'm not. What am I choosing to do there? Please don't answer with I should stay out those neighborhoods because if you do, you're shooting your whole point down. Everyone profiles. Everyone. Those that say they don't are lying to themselves. I agree. Everyone profiles. I also think that everyone contributes to how they are profiled. You chose long hair and loud music. You embraced that choice as who you were. And you knew what impression you were making even though it was false. I don't know what to say about the reverse scenario. Yes, I am profiled when I go into a black neighborhood. Should I stay out? If I do, I am definitely profiling that neighborhood and the people in it. My point is that we all profile. And that we have every reason to.
