Janie... the problem is with those who DO see the world in simple terms and who can't wrap their little minds around the difference between 'reasonable care' and **profiling**.... and those who are profiled unfairly often get tired of being stopped and questioned- they respond- which makes the 'nuts with guns' even more sure hey have reason to 'suspect' something. And so it goes... round & round.

I personally think there IS more actual racism in the south...but that may just be a matter of opinion..or semantics.

The awkward thing about profiling..(which is no doubt what the vigilante did)... is that it has a certain value at times. The problem is with those who see only 'either/or' cases and can't use judgment.
