The new guidelines have nothing to do with race or ethnicity. The previous administration addressed those issues. It is readily apparent that those guidelines have not been followed and are being ignored by those who are empowered to enforce the law.

I must be confused then. If one cannot use race in the profiling or a suspect how can the new guideline be said to have nothing to do with race or ethnicity.
If a black woman were assaulted by a white man, under the new guidelines she would not be able to identify the perp as white.....and the law enforcement would not be able to say they are looking for a white guy....etc????
Hence my sarcasm in the opening post!!!!
The actions being taken have everything to do with racism in all it's ugliness!
