Nextdoor website fosters racial profiling, group says
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | January 23, 2016 | Rachel Swan

Posted on 01/24/2016 4:07:06 PM PST by artichokegrower

Nextdoor, the popular neighborhood social networking site that people use to share neighborly news too often reflects the racial biases and prejudices of its users, says a watchdog group that wants the racial profiling on the site to end.

The post that immediately repelled her, she said, was: "My boyfriend just saw two suspicious African-American men in a car. They drove their car up the street, made a U-turn, and parked."


More than likely they were not Mormon Missionaries.

Great resource in a universe wherein African Americans commit murder at more than 7 times the rate that whites do.

We also have Facebook pages for our town which operate in a similar manner.

Well, if you’re not too lazy, just drive the neighborhood yourself and make anthropological observations, i.e., grocery store shoppers, bus stop occupants, schoolyards at recess, parks and alleys at night (day and night), volume of police car patrols, etc. you’ll figure out real quick what the neighborhood is all about. Who cares what the internet says, use your own recon, and draw your own conclusions. Just sAYIN’.

Well maybe it is. I must admit the last discussion on our NextDoor group was about a coyote hanging around the neighborhood. Perhaps we shouldn't be so species specific in the future.

There was even an allegation that a missing cat may have been eaten by the coyote, but later the cat showed up unarmed and apparently unaware of the coyote.

Social media’s OK with the SF chronicle as long as the racial talk is the N word used nonstop by the people who claim to object to it.

Give me a break. Young black males are a tiny segment of our population yet they commit over 50% of murders and over 70% of robberies.

Profiling is absolutely moral and imperative. Any public figure who says the opposite(and they all do) is a lying sack of dog droppings who deserves to be keel-hauled in shark infested waters.

Profiling is a leftwing wacko code word for discrimination

we discriminate between people by observing and reporting characteristics that are apparent. When one can be harmed by others it is absolutely necessary to discriminate in order to remain safe

the fact is, certain black subcultures are criminally dangerous. it is necessary to discriminate among the peoples and even among various black people. there is no black homogenity. the concept is a political construct to simulate unity where there is none

Among white people if you meet one that eschews profiling, you may look upon them as an American enemy, a left wing wacko that is without decent intellect

The cat might look into getting a sidepaw.

A cat, unarmed?? A 15 lb. Infuriated cat that’s not been declawed is a flying cloud of infuriated knives that few dogs will ever bother.

My cat failed her background check. Had a feliney on her record.

Racial Profiling?

Like BET TV?
Like the NAACP?
Like the Onbama administration?
Like most liberal colleges that discriminate for blacks and against non-blacks?
Like lending institutions forced by the government to loan mortgage money to blacks who do not qualify for the loan?

Black Power A Done Deal

Scurrilous Commentary by Fred Reed

"It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive, most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics. Yet they do. Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can't do. Their power seems without limit."

"Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces. Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified, where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them. Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions but on whether they have the right number of blacks."

"Do laws requiring identification to vote threaten to end multiple voting? The laws must go. Do blacks not like Confederate flags? Adieu, flags. Does Huckleberry Finn go down the Mississippi with the Nigger Jim, or Conrad write The Nigger of the Narcissus? These must be banned or expurgated to please blacks who haven’t read them or, usually, heard of them. Do we want to prevent people coming from regions infested with Ebola from entering the United States? We cannot. It would offend blacks."

"We must never, ever say or do anything that might upset them, as virtually everything does. It is positively astonishing. One expects the rich and smart to have disproportionate power. But America is dominated from the slums."

Not so sure - did anyone see whether the coyote was bleeding after that? And was the cat smiling?

We are separated by 3000 miles and yet we’ve had the same postings in the past few weeks. Haven’t seen any postings that are objectionable in our NextDoor group but then I’m not looking for any.. Handyman wanted, stuff to give away, dogs running loose, coyotes, lost cats, missing mail, suspicious cars driving through the neighborhood. All helpful information to help people look out for their neighbors....
