pro•fil•ing
noun /ˈprōˌfīliNG/ 
1. The recording and analysis of a person's psychological and behavioral characteristics, so as to assess or predict their capabilities in a certain sphere or to assist in identifying a particular subgroup of people.

We all profile every day it’s also called instinct.

Example if you are walking down a dark street late at night are you more concerned with the 60 year old lady sitting at the bus stop or the young man wearing baggy jeans standing at the corner?

So did you “profile” of course you did the old lady presents little or no threat. I don’t think it makes you a bad person it makes you human.

The topic was on cnn this morning and it just pisses me off. It is the job of law enforcement to profile it used to be called looking for suspicious behavior.

This is short but I hope I made my point I just get tired of the hypocrisy.

i think you have to read the book stupid white men by micheal moore.
the first paragraph will speak volumes to you!
i'm the guy wearing baggy pants and a hoodie. and i'm covered with tattoos.
but i'm also the guy thats sitting next to the little old lady having a nice conversation!
like the old saying goes,you can't judge a book by its cover. or how the media trains sheeple how to think!

Profiling is a dirty, evil disgusting word, because it uses truth to exist.

Anything that is entrenched in truth that is better left untouched for fear of being seen a discrimination, is an evil disgusting thing by default.

"The suspect was wearing a hat." is all we'll ever get if it continues this way. Gone are the days where a physical description was required to help catch a crook.

Crime is not as simple as race, it often has complex socioeconomic reasons behind it, poverty tends to cause crime not race.

It is a sad reality of our world that socioeconomic factors are often divided on racial lines.

It is simplistic to blame race as the sole factor, and it is arrogant to ignore it as a factor.

So employers who won't hire someone wearing short sleeves and shorts to an interview is considered profiling right?

Someones put a bork on me. i cant post in another forum in reply to a post to me, and this is a redundant reply to a thread to test if it was suddenly just entirely me.

odd........ hrmm
