Ta-Nehisi appeared on NSNBC - Alex Wagner Tonight, Oct 9, 2024.
He tells of his trip to Hebron (which is a hot place with frictions usually after a radical mosque sermon or an Arab terror attack). That a soldier asked him for his religion, when he replied he didn't have one, he asked him about his parents', when he replied that they were Christian, he let him pass.
MSNBC's Wagner plays dumb and asks him a leading question, 'did you think this was racist?' He replied, oh yes.
Obviously, he didn't want to get what asking about his religion has anything to do with security, given Islamist terror. Worse, a TV anchor should have known better.
MSNBC reporters don’t play dumb they are dumb
Profiling works.
Yes.
Israel developed very sophisticated methods of people profiling. You are going to meet people in Israel who will ask you questions. Be ready for that, nothing racist or biased.
Some of the Israeli methods have been adopted on several airports in Europe, with excellent results.
It would be great, if they were adopted here.
