I think it's probably profiling, and not just straight racism. When I was younger, whenever I drove into the city I'd get pulled over and pulled out of my car and searched, and have my car searched. It was always because I was a young white guy in a black neighborhood. The cops would tell me that was the reason everytime. I lived right on the border of a not so good area, so it happened all the time. In areas that are predominantly one race, cops see anyone who "doesn't belong there", especially at night and especially kids, as potentially being up to no good. It's not right and it is profiling, but I think that's what cops are trained to do. It's not just white cops messing with black people. It happened to my sister-in-law and her fiance just a few weeks ago a block away from their friend's house near Western and North Ave., and they're 31 years old.
