If there's a high crime rate area, you know what there's going to be more of? policing. Just because there is more policing in black neighborhoods doesn't mean that the police are targeting black people. It just means that they are targeting high crime rate areas.
The highways of West Virginia are not black neighborhoods.
The NYC study on stop and frisk policies controlled for race-specific estimates of crime participation.
The study in Los Angeles controlled for crime rates in specific districts.
The police in East St Louis ADMITTED that they were told to target black people at malls.
But I am the one "jumping to conclusions" while you are "looking at things objectively"? Are you serious?

Because they are pulled over more often and asked to submit to searches more often based on their race. That is the very definition of "racial profiling".
How can you not understand something so simple.
