I stalked/followed a black kid!

140. Similar things have happened to me. I hear something, go outside....

and there's someone standing there trying to act nonchalant. Now I know that's who was doing the whatever, and he knows, but there's no proof. This sort of thing happens a lot, I would think.

If the guy had been white or Asian, I wonder if you would have considered it racist if he mentioned the race of the guy.

We're all against racism, but it's kinda hard to give a physical description w/o giving the perceived race. I attended a racial sensitivity seminar at my workplace. The lady speaking said that she was watching the news when they were talking about a recent local crime. She said they didn't give the race of the perps, but they showed their pics on the news. She said that was racist...there was no reason to do that (they were Af. American). Now, that's just ridiculous. That is trying to hide the identity of criminals when they happen to be a particular race. Mug shots are frequently shown on tv, regardless of race of the perps.

Being a particular race is part of an identity and description. It seems to me that the focus should be on trying to stop crimes by young men (it's far and away young men) of a certain race, than trying to hide the fact that they were convicted of crimes.

I am white. I am female. That is the description that would be given to cops if someone called in for me to be checked out as a possible perp, as well as the color of my hair, the length, what I'm wearing, approximate age. That is not discrimination against whites and females.
