A letter in today’s Daily News:
Before you fight a war, you must first identify the enemy.
This is war, not a study into how far we can stretch the ambiguity of the Constitution. Racial profiling is something that’s done every day in America. It is something that is never questioned if done right, something that’s even preferred in most cases where favorably used.
Example: Chinese food, Japanese cars, Italian hoagies and Swedish meatballs, Cuban cigars and Russian vodka, just to name a few. The black athlete, your Jewish lawyer, ever see a fat Chinese person? All of these are examples of profiling. Police do it all the time, legally and illegally.
We are at war with a very distinct visual enemy. As a black man, I’m subjected to racial profiling every day. But when I want a good Italian hoagie, I don’t go to Big Mama’s Rib Joint, and when I want good barbecued ribs, I don’t go to Luigi’s. Racial profiling makes all the sense in the world when applied properly. In fact, to not profile, with so much at stake, would be grossly negligent.
To not profile, with so much delicious food at stake, would indeed be grossly negligent.
Profiling’s everywhere and it’s oh so useful [Daily News]
