The problem of driving while black is real.
No argument. We can trace it to centuries of racism, but the job of the cops is to keep us safe by using their limited resources. They can't be stopping every race at the same rate when the criminality rates are disproportionately different. I would even suggest that the profiling involves much more than color of skin. Several factor are at play, the community in which people are stopped, the type of car they drive, their outer appearance, and yes add the "black" part. It's inevitable, based on what we learn every day, that we attached certain activities more to one group than to another. In the U.S., for example no one expects that the serial rapist, or the serial killer, or the drug dealer be from Asian descent. It happens, but it is the least common expectation. It's a lot more common to expect that the valedictorian in our local school is from Asian descent than black, even though black population may be about the same as that of Asian descent. Stereotypes are not just concocted by bigots. They are fed by events, facts, news, our own experiences. Sad reality, but we need to accept it before we try to have an honest conversation.
