Re: Obama Speech Tuesday morning 3/18/08
Never any attempt to target my comments toward any one person's beliefs/background/etc.
Only my opinion about the SUBJECT at hand...using generalities (sometimes unsuccessfully!).
It is easy to tell when I am being personal, my commentary is preceded by the name toward which it is aimed!
Regarding profiling....I just don't grasp the concept espoused by too many these days, not just this forum and including family members, that if it is repetitive non WHITE it must be racial.
When Obama cited his Grandmother's fear of black males she in her own way for good reason or not was in fact profiling. We all do it every day in one way or another.
Profiling is profiling. It becomes racial when special interests become the subject....not the actual crime/event/profile.
My humble opinion and 2 cents worth.
