Racial profiling should be more emphasized by the government because it encourages
other forms of violent racism, discourages cultural diversity, and creates mistrust of our
institutions.
It encourages other forms of violent racism in so many ways that it has gotten to a point
where even our community and schools are threatened which leads to it will always being scary
for a mother or a parent/guardian to leave their child at school no matter how “safe” the area is.
Even students of all ages have started to fear going to school or being there after hearing a tragic
even or threat has happened. A simple threat could lead to lots of scared families preventing their
children from going to school. “Our schools and our churches are failing us. School has become
one of the most dangerous places our children can be, followed only by the public library.”
(Hale,Duff) “There is not a Black father in this country who has not done as my father did for me
and as I did for my three boys, and that is to sit them down and say, ‘Son, if you are ever stopped
by the police, put your hands on the dashboard, ask if it’s okay to get your license, and don’t say
anything no matter what he says.’” (Amber, Jeannine.)
Forms of violent racism has lead to difference in dealing with criminal issues; “the shooting
of an unarmed Black teen by a neighborhood watch volunteer ratcheted up the stakes, sparking
national debate over racial profiling and a law that initially allowed the shooter to walk free.”
(Amber, Jeannine.) and it has had such an effect on people that it makes it hard for them to
identify suspects. “Treatment of Suspects Should Be Equal, Regardless of Race” (Corlett, J.
Angelo.). Which is why it makes sense that ““We live in a country where there’s a wide-spread
perception that associates Black youth with criminality.” (Amber, Jeannine.). “When Americans
first became interested in the idea of criminal “profiling,” it seemed a heroic pursuit.” (Cloud,

John, Marguerite Michaels, and Sarah Sturman Dale.). And no matter what has been said or done
since then, it’s like it had no affect on the way people are now, and I do not think it will anytime
soon.
Until today we have problems with people believing that it is always the african americans
who do the wrong and are responsible of the crimes that happen; most of the time it’s because a
racist cop decided to let his beliefs get in the middle of his job “We will never know how often
racist white police officers pull people over because they belong to a minority. But there are
some signs that police departments have improved over the past 25 years. Since 1976, the
number of African Americans killed by police each year has fallen by more than half, according
to the Justice Department, from a rate of about 11 per million to 5 per million in 1998.” (Cloud,
John, Marguerite Michaels, and Sarah Sturman Dale.) and figuring out who did what in a
situation and why. “Apparently black-on-black murders do not fit the Left’s race agenda. Then,
in the same sentence Obama suggests, “it’s not to make excuses,” he asserts “historical context”
as an excuse.” (Hale, Duff. ) Instead, they usually go with assumptions and it never leads to a
good ending and no fair judgement.

Racial Profiling can be the cause to a lot of forms of violence because racial profiling itself
usually escalates into racially motivated violence because it can start with one little insult, then
turn into an argument, and the next thing you know, there’s a couple of guys or girls fighting and
a group of people arguing which will lead to no good. And that itself could lead to much more
and if one was too into it, it may lead to accidental death of one of them because they just were
not thinking right.
It discourages cultural diversity in a way where no group of people are surrounded by people
they fully trust. Which is exactly why teaching the generations to come about how to deal with
racism and how there are people who not just look different, but eat different food, worship
different gods, speak different languages and believe in different things “Being schooled about
