Racial Profiling in an Age of Terrorism - 0 views

  •  
    This article speaks of a post 9/11 America that walks a fine line of social profiling in the name of stopping terrorist acts. It speaks of both the injustice of many Japanese-Americans during WWII in the past and the challenges of keeping America safe from terrorism in the present without making the same mistakes of racial inequality.

Racial Profiling - 0 views

  •  
    This article outlines racial profiling and how it is a violation of fundamental principals of our constitution. It's targeting brown mexican/hispanics because of the illegal immigration; and the arab americans because of 911. We all have a right to live our lives in peace without having authorites watching us because of our physical features.

    I understand that Arizona is just trying to stop immigration but some of the laws and rules taking place are making it seem like it is allowed to racial profile. Though that may not be the case. People are thinking that if you look Mexican then the police can pull you over but I reality there most likely not going to do that. If you get pulled over for speeding and then for some reason the cop thinks you could be illegal then he can ask for paper work. I get that the law seems racial, but Arizonans should not care so much if your a citizen and have nothing to hide.

    Arizona immigration laws have consistently supported racial profiling and make it difficult for legal Latinos to avoid being harassed, interrogated and detained unlawfully. State laws should be fair and adhere with constitutional freedoms afforded all citizens. If you're an American citizen, you're afforded the same rights as other citizens and should not be detained unlawfully because you "look like an immigrant". This is where Arizona crosses the line with it's immigration laws.

    I understand how these immigration laws here in Arizona can make people feel, however i feel like if i have nothing to hide whats the problem. I still don't like the fact that it makes it so easy for police to racial profile because its almost insulting to get pulled over for no reason except skin color. I have seen cops pull people over just for skin color, especially in the northern part of Arizona and its wrong.

Racial Profiling in an Age of Terrorism - 0 views

  •  
    It is against this historical backdrop that we encounter post-9/11 efforts to combat terrorist acts on American soil, and examine the role that race should play in an effective effort to deter future attacks. But before assessing whether our government's response to the events of 9/11 betray a pattern of racial profiling, I first want to identify what it is.

Do Stop-and-Frisk's in New York City Amount to Racial Profiling? - 0 views

  •  
    New York's stop and frisk policy has led to racial profiling and targeting of law abiding minority citizens.
  •  
    New York City made stop and search laws in belief that it would lower the rate of violent crimes. Stop and frisk laws allow police to pat down any suspicious person. The amount of people being stopped has reached a high number. Of those many people, it seems that law enforcement is singling out certain races. These races being mainly Latino or African American.
  •  
    This article argues the fact that the "stop-and-frisk" program implemented in the beginning of the 1990's doesn't help in reducing crime rate; however, there are substantial evidence that say it has been used by NYPD officials as a way of discrimination towards minorities.

Profile Of The DREAM Act - 0 views

  •  
    The DREAM Act is a bill that will make it easier for illegal immigrants to attend school and become a citizen in the long run. This Act will only be allowed to those who meet the requirements of it. The president of the United States is for this bill because he believes those illegal immigrants should not be punished for "the actions of their parents" and be denied to further their education. Without this bill, illegal immigrants wanting to go to school, get a decent job or join the military will not be able to.

Arizona passes tough illegal immigration law - 0 views

  •  
    I don't agree with the "second hand that follows" with this law of racial profiling. But then again profiling is part of law enforcements job. There is nothing wrong for a police officier just asking for a citizenship card, green card, visa, or regular identification, if suspected. But if it goes further then i think that it is wrong.

The severities of th incidents vary anywhere from venting about a hall monitor being mean or how a profile that was made as a joke that cost a teacher his job.
