So your argument is that the way you dress effects the way you act? So women that dress slutty deserve to be raped because they wanted it? If a guy wears pink, what does that mean?

Of course that's exactly what Im saying. Actually, If I see a woman dressed slutty I think she is more susceptible to being raped and therefore ignorant to her surroundings and how dangerous the world really is. I would also think she's probably one of the idiots that actually believes the police will be there to protect her if she ever finds herself in a shitty situation.

Do you really think that every police officer fits this stereotype?

Nope. But, as everyone has already noted, in the smaller towns and surrounding areas of bigger cities, especially in south LA, the bottom of the barrel become officers. In my hometown, Ive seen some 350+ lb officers. How in the hell did they pass their fitness test? It's not as if Im pulling this out of my arse. In my experience, no one in the top 50% even of my graduating class went into law enforcement. I would be willing to bet that the majority on this board can back that claim.

I bet you would shite a brick if a police officer came on here and stereotyped young African American males who listen to rap music as "drug dealing thugs."

I wouldnt shite a brick. Statistics say that they would be right in racially profiling that black male listening to rap music.
