"The racial profiling hearing is the first since before 9/11, Durbin’s office said. It will focus on “state immigration laws in Alabama and Arizona that subject Hispanic Americans to heightened scrutiny, discriminatory law enforcement against African Americans and anti-terrorism efforts that target American Muslims,” a release said."

To me, it appears that Trayvon Martin did not die as a result of racial profiling. If he did not try to beat up Zimmerman, he would still be alive, and everyone would be happy.

“state immigration laws in Alabama and Arizona that subject Hispanic Americans to heightened scrutiny”

I don’t know about Alabama. Arizona’s doesn’t. But don’t let facts ruin your paranoid fantasies.

Sen. Dick Durbin Sets Racial Profiling Hearing

"You would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime - Pol Pot or others - that had no concern for human beings"- Dick "Dachau" Durbin

Republicans need to stay quiet on this one for now. They can address it after the election and after they take over the Senate and increase their seats in the House. I believe that Durbin is setting them up.

Turban Durbin, the leading rat demagogue in the Senate, also held a field committee hearing in FL last February over our new voter laws. Durbin and his fellow rodents never miss a chance to keep the people at each other’s throats.

This ENTIRE episode (Martin the hoodie-clad vandal) is being orchestrated by the DNC and the White Hut, to combat Voter ID Laws, and to allow Illegals easy access to voting.

You can BET THE FARM that they will try to pass Legislation further protecting the inner-city tribal parasites, and the Illegal parasites, to vote for the (D) and continued pandering in the 2012 Election.

As far as I'm concerned, common sense AND crime statistics clearly tell you that Race IS A PROBABLE CAUSE for suspicion, and it is NOT "Profiling" when you see 3 black yewts in a van with their headlights off, driving in a white neighborhood at 3:00am, no matter WHO screams about police stopping them to see what they're up to.

It is NOT Racial Profiling if ALL Voters are asked for photo ID before they're allowed to Register, and WHEN they are attempting to Vote.

We are such a bunch of idiots to put up with this. Everyone “profiles”, they always have and always will. “Based on my experience a person with the following characteristics and appearance . . . . is likely to be friendly or dangerous or not from around here.” Blacks do it just as much as Whites. When two thugs on the corner say, “That’s a likely looking mark coming down the street.” They are profiling. When Jessie Jackson looks around and is reassured to see a white walking behind him on the street at 3:00 AM, he is profiling.

Oh for crying out loud...

12 years ago, my state started making police officers fill out MANDATORY racial profiling forms on every self initiated contact, whether on a traffic stop or a pedestrian check.

12 years later, there is no tangible, actionable evidence of racial profiling by police officers yet the perpetually aggrieved continue to cry “racism!” at every turn.

Officers have been accused of racial profiling despite the traffic stop being at night on a vehicle with tinted windows.

Oh, and white people that come to the black neighborhoods to buy heroin don’t scream about being racially profiled...

The two questions the Republicans need to ask and have answered are: “If the TSA used racial and religious profiling at the airports, rather than insisting on inspecting people completely outside the terrorist profile, how many tens, or hundreds of billions of dollars would the US save, with no appreciable loss to our security?”

And, “European nations racially and religiously profile, and it works very well for them, at much lower cost. So why is the US different?”

It is sickening that this lie is being perpetrated, of racial profiling by whites of blacks, when crime statistics show the exact opposite. When will anyone with a public platform stand up this lie?
