remember when I was growing up, New York was a rough-and-tumble place where attitudes of racial animosity ran parallel to the perceptions of black-on-white crime. And despite a robust, national civil rights movement, there were feelings that blacks were almost exclusively responsible for gangs, prostitution and heroin addiction.
Back in the ’60s and ’70s, believe it or not, as a young black man I too had concerns about crime being perpetrated upon me. I recall how to cross Central Park, my buddies and I would sprint top speed from Central Park West to the Fifth Avenue on the East Side without stopping. We knew that would not only get us across unmolested, but the sight of a two or three black men running through the park would make anybody steer clear.
During that time it was not a question of race, but that anybody entering the park alone at night stood a good chance of getting his or her ass kicked.
But come one fateful day in 1989 when a white woman was raped and four black men and one Hispanic man was accused of “wilding,” we no longer sprinted for fear we would get shot by police or arrested on general principal. Innocent as we were, as young black men we were painfully aware of trying not to look guilty — of anything. That was the difference between getting arrested or getting shot.
Let’s fast forward to 1997 to Abner Louima, who was sodomized with a toilet plunger handle in a police precinct or Amadou Diallo who in 1999 died in a hail of 41 shots fired by members of the now defunct “Street Crimes Unit.” Or Sean Bell, shot dead in a hail of police bullets on his wedding day.....

Leftists are a disgusting lot.
Sounds like the racists who are targeting victims are already “profiling”.
I don’t profile blacks.
I profile neighborhoods, city streets and behaviour markers.
I especially profile feral groups and avoid them.,
Don’t matter where on the planet I am. Behaviour markers are all the same.
Was at the car wash last week and two fellows walked past my stall and gave quick glances. Both of em.
I left.
Car still needs washing.
Get a clue, Will. There isn't anything phony about this and you know who's doing it and you know why. Scream Trayvon all you like, nobody's buying.
I don’t profile. I establish a sight picture.
Young black men: 3% of the population. 50% of the murder.
Black people, 12.9% of the population, 43% of all crimes. (FBI stats)
They’re working on getting that up to 70% I reckon.

1/2 Black Man: 100% of the presidency, 1000% of America’s problems.
Amen, FRiend.
I suspect this fellow just got tired of looking at those videos so he just stopped looking. There are rather more than "three or four" of them.
Some thug should come and give this guy a good smack in the head see how he likes it
Three or four A DAY maybe.
Back in the 70s-80s when I was riding through a small town in the midwest, if a policeman cut his eyes at me I just pulled over, got off the bike and leaned on my hands against a wall. That move saved time and argument. I guess I was “profiling” small town cops.
Put that pressure sprayer against them and pull the trigger.
They’ll pop like a balloon.
Denial of Black on White crime and Knockout Game is just Black KKK racism. This writer can whine all he wants...reality is going to be when a number of Knockouters get capped by whites defending themselves
I am familiar with that "look" from my years in big cities. It is very rare where I live now, but about ten days ago I was in a fast food restaurant and there is was again, coming from a black teenager. Rage and hatred packed into an ice-cold momentary IN-YOUR-FACE-WHITEY stare. To my knowledge I had never seen him before. He left, but I will remember him.
Headline seems misleading. Author in no way thinks KO game is a valid reason for profiling.
He is afraid of vigilantes that are nowhere to be found AND blacks have a right to be angry.
Sheesh, and he gets paid to do this? Welcome to Acirema.
