    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.

    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.

    Arizona Law - Illegal immigration is still in controversy on how Law Enforcement will conduct proper immigration stauts checks. Having the proper procedures in place can elimanate other legal matters concerning racing profiling.

    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.

    In this article, the author explains the new law which passed in Arizona, where law officials can question the legal status of any person. The author explains, the only way this could be done, is by racial profiling, such as skin color or language barriers.

    Kentucky and North Carolina have passed Racial Justice Acts to counter systemic racial bias in the unfair sentencing of African Americans to the death penalty for killing whites. Statistical data shows there's is significant bias in the administration of the death penalty yet in two major cases before the Supreme Court, the Court ruled in favor of systemic injustice and upheld the death penalty in both cases. The Racial Justice Acts passed by Kentucky and North Carolina are a step in the right direction to remove systemic bias.

    New York's stop and frisk policy has led to racial profiling and targeting of law abiding minority citizens.
  • Brittany Aguirre on 11 Sep 13
     
    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.

    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.

    Federal court struck down the Texas voter ID law requiring photos for voters at the polla. Their reasoning is that it is racially discriminatory. The Obama Administration originally challenged it.

    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.

    This article states that the death penalty cannot comply to the constitution. It states that 2/3 of those sentenced to death since 1976 have been in five southern states, where racial bias still exists. It also states that 17 innocent people, on death row, were released based on DNA evidence, and another 112 released based on other evidence.

    Obama on SB1070: "we thought that there was a great danger that naturalized citizens -- individuals with Latino surnames -- potentially could be vulnerable to questioning." this article also says that Sheriff Arpaio resents Obama's suggestion that he (Arpaio) engages in racial profiling. Arpaio says he is an "equal opportunity guy" and he is "Enforcing all the laws."

    Arizona passes an anti-immigration law which allows police to questions people that are suspected of being in this country illegally. 70% of the Los Angeles Latino population is in favor of sanctions against AZ, which include restricting future contracts with AZ companies.

    Civic leaders, activists, artists and others are celebrating, marching and paying homage Monday to Martin Luther King Jr., marking the 30th anniversary of the federal holiday honoring the slain civil rights leader. In South Carolina, civil rights leaders planned a march to their state capitol as in past years when their rally highlighted calls to remove the Confederate flag from Statehouse grounds.

    I think this is a great thing. Especially considering all of the racial issues we have been having lately through out the country I think this is a huge step in the right direction.
