Racial profiling

Is racial profiling "racist", unfair, or good police work? Whites murdering whites isn't nearly as predominant in the white community as blacks killing blacks in the black community, not even close. The number one cause of death for black males 18-34 years of age is murder by other blacks. Whites outnumber blacks 5:1, but according to the US Department of Justice, blacks accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and Native Americans and Asians 2.2%. The offending rate for blacks was almost 8 times higher than whites, and the victim rate 6 times higher. This is what needs to be discussed. If we want to reduce violent crimes it seems like we know where and who to look for? This starts by having more police in these problem areas which will obviously lead to a higher rate of people being incarcerated for "petty crimes".

Profiling isn't unfair. Harassing innocent people based on profiling is unfair.

If they look like a "THUG" and act like a "THUG" and approach you like a "THUG", they are a "THUG"!
See I just profiled a "THUG"!
Thugs are dying in the Baton Rouge streets seems like everyday! Killed by other Thugs!

It doesn't sound like you know what racial profiling is.

Our ancestors that survived to pass on their genes to us learned to generalize and stereotype because snap judgments were an aid to survival. If a certain community has a much higher crime rate, then you obviously are going to give them less of a benefit of the doubt than other communities. Profiling based on race, clothing, what have you still serves a vital purpose. People who say otherwise do not want negative consequences from their community's actions. The profiling has nothing to do with racism. It has everything to do with cause and effect.

It depends.
Were the police being racist and/or unfair when they detained me while I was walking down the street minding my own business because I fit the description of someone who just committed murder?

If I was black it would probably be considered racist and unfair but because I am white it would probably be considered good police work.

I profile all the time. For example, if I'm walking on the sidewalk and a man is walking towards me who looks kind of homo, I clench my butt really tight and cross to the other side of the street.
But it applies to women too. If I see a hot chick, I think to myself that I would enjoy having her boobs in or around my mouth. I have never met this woman before or seen her boobs, but just from looking at her in clothes I assumed (wrongly or rightly) that I would enjoy her fun bags. Who knows... she might be an annoying bitch who sound like Fran Drescher and she might not even have nipples. But I profiled her. Am I wrong for that?
