BY: KINSLEY, RAVIN AND JOHNNY
Racial Profiling is the use of race, ethnicity, gender,religion, or national origin by law enforcement agents as a factor in deciding whom to investigate, arrest or detain
Key Info: Without evidence of a specific crime or criminal behavior
Discriminatory conduct by law enforcement and the criminal justice system that dates back to at least the 1700s in the United States for people of African descent.
In 1704, South Carolina founded the first slave patrol in which white men policed black slaves on plantations and hunted for escaped slaves
August 11 to 17, 1965
The five days of violence left 34 dead, 1,032 injured, nearly 4,000 arrested, and $40 million worth of property destroyed.

WHY IS IT HELPFUL?
Security: Racial profiling can help law enforcement find a possible suspect based on racial cues

Racial tensions in the certain area

BLACK BOYS MATTER
Many African American males in our country are inappropriately targeted, stopped, and searched by law enforcement officials based on race and gender
African-American males are not only singled out while driving, but also in the workplace, running for political office, or even walking down the street
BIASED JUSTICE SYSTEM
Noticed that there were a lot of angry black people yet most of the people getting arrested were whites and Latinos
Justice system sees blacks as criminals right away and not American citizens
BEING BLACK IS A CRIME
Doug Glanville, a retired Major League Baseball player explained how he was stopped and nearly arrested in his own driveway.
Post racial society” is just a fancy way to say hope for justice, but don’t expect it
