[quote=Anonymous]I'm the previous AA poster who was profiled several times - not in a black community. Once on the highway heading to work (pulled over and harassed by police who asked to search my car). Once heading to a friend's house. Once in my neighborhood which is predominately white.  Same thing happened to some of my friends as well. Cops were white and black.

It's a reflection on how police (and others) value or don't value those in our community (or value them over others).

Just imagine if you were continuously targeted because of your red hair, or you drive a certain color car, or any other arbitrary thing. The only thing is that I can't change the color of my skin.

Race is the sole reason that I am targeted - no other reason.  I drive same type of car as many others. Nothing about me stands out but color.  To say that, I just have to deal with it because I happened to have been born this way is ridiculous. The same argument used against women's groups and others who wanted to be treated fairly. I want to be treated fairly. It's demoralizing - which I think is the point.
