I wasn't referring to American citizens in my post, which makes your response irrelevant. I was referring to the terrorists who commited the WTC attack. Most of whom are not in this country, but some of whom are.

One of the terrorists who was recently convicted of the first WTC bombing IS an American citizen who lived in Arlington, Texas, home of the Texas Rangers and about 30 mi. from my house. If a few folks get inconveinenced because of the need to profile them by age, gender and race, tough cookies. (All of the terrorists are young, to early middle aged Arabic men.)

If you fit the profile, and you are an American patriot, it might be frustrating, but PERFECTLY understandable if you are profiled. If we have a rash of terrorist attacks done by white, male Real Estate agents, I'll understand if I am viewed with suspicion.

You don't have to tell me about being profiled -- I am a black man. But I don't blame anyone for doing so because black men commit violent crime in proportion greater than their percentage of the population. Black pop culture in great measure celebrates crime, and as long as that image continues to sell, nothing will change.

If you were not talking about interning American citizens, you should have specified that in your first response to me, because I was responding to WileyCoyote22, who was -- and still is -- talking about Americans. For that matter, so is HKUSP9mm, who posted to Baltimore-born Hamza01 the following message: "You're on enemy ground, pal. Know it."
