    That would be cultural appropriation.

    You would expect nobody would complain out loud that "there’s black kids in the way." in 2019. Them kids told the truth and those people have been banned for life. But suddenly there is doubt about the other stuff. And it's called it's obvious people eagerly take the side of white people.. like we're still in the Jim Crow era.

    Ah... and so the nitpicking begins.

    The profile is: their skin color. And it exists because of how people were raised by their parents who themselves were raised from the Jim Crow era. "culture".

    Like I said before, If I was 'twerking' in a museum I would be called names too. The museum permanently banned the two museum goers, but from what I can tell none of the staff was fired for the "watermelon" thing. That's because it didn't happen.

    No, I won't recant. The two museum guest were banned but museum employees weren't because the watermelon thing didn't happen.

    They are sure the kids told the truth about the other people.
    They can not deny or confirm what was said by the staff.
    And so you claiming it's denied is you making a dirty little lie.

    Don't call me a liar.
    Since no staff was fired for the watermelon comment it is easy to conclude that the comment was never made, and they must know that. Firing someone for something they didn't do would bring a nice, fat lawsuit. I know you want this to all be true because it fits your narrative of the poor blacks and the never ending white racism against them.
    As of yesterday, the museum was still investigating the matter even though they banned the two people. According to nbcboston, the museum has said there is no way to know for sure if the students are telling the truth about what was said. The videos don't have audio.

    Let me see if I can properly express my thoughts on profiling, here we go:

    Profiling is the same or very close to stereotyping in that there has to be some element or degree of truth to it or it doesn't work.

    If someone claims a person is being racially profiled then 1) the person making the claim has to believe such a profile exists or the claim would be meaningless, 2) in the case of this story, the same person has to believe the profile is negative.

    If what I said is accurate, and I believe it is, a person who accuses someone else of profiling actually believes in a negative stereotype of the person they believe they're defending, but in reality they're actually behaving like a racist while accusing others of being racists.

    You are blatantly making it up and taking a side against the black children. The conclusion is that they can not deny or confirm if the staff said that.

    Unfortunately the truth is that racism is founded on no element or degree of truth. And racial stereotyping is what white people did to still do to their black minority who they previously and legally made them 2nd class citizens. This is how a lot of white people were raised up to believe as a proper thing.

    And it's a fact that racial stereotyping is not founded on a degree of truth. It has been analysed that all them being pulled over because they were driving while black, resulted in the facts that white people got a higher probability of having illegal good in their cars than black people, and that black people get pulled over a tremendous amount more than white people. Black people still get pulled over more often than white, when it's dark but the difference is less. Apparently the cops have a hard time being racist when they can't view what race the driver has. That's besides the fact that white people do more drugs. They also OD more. White people get a smaller sentence compared to black people under the same circumstances even. Get on parole faster. Racism is everywhere in the US, and that's all #whiteprivilege.

    And yup, I can source it all. You get to pick 1 claim.

    A white person is 10 times more likely to be murdered by a black person than a black person is to be murdered by a white person. That is not negotiable, it is stone cold fact. Blacks are objectively the most dangerous race in America by an order of magnitude over all other races. They have gotten better over the past few decades (by cutting their murder rate in half) but they have a long way to go. Until their rate of violence approaches that of other races, much of society will stereotype them as a predators rather than as victims.

    Watermelon is actually a food and drink at the same time. It fills you and quenches your thirst at the same time
    You can even vodka infuse it
    It's an amazing fruit!

    Yep that's why every successful white athlete are always called a"real gym rat", "coaches son", "sneaky athlete"... Because white people in general aren't as athletic as African Americans. #nottwitter

    Hmmmm......your first paragraph is full of racial profiling against whites.

    Your second paragraph is full of examples of what people learned when being around blacks. Regarding your thing about driving while black, I've mentioned this many times before that while growing up 1 mile from Manhattan, I got pulled over because I was driving while white in black neighborhoods, apparently white guys in those areas were looking for drugs or other kinds of trouble.

    That has primary to do with their poverty. The way that white people legally had the black community as 2nd class citizens, ment they had poor opportunities to go to school and poor opportunities on the job market. That's how the white community deliberately caused the that black people were at the bottom of the social economic ladder. And the social economic mobility in the US is simply rather poor. It will take generations to over come this. After all the generation of white people, like Trump, who personally profited from the apartheid rule,... still alive.
    Black people are nog being pulled over that much for the sake of some homicide cases. And the percentage that a white person did something wrong when pulled over is just higher. They do more drugs, they OD more often. Those are the facts. To still demand that black people must be hunted down, is simply irrational. No surprise. Racism is irrational. And the facts show, that black people unreasonably suffer by the racism that the white population does. And you claim yourself to be no exception.

    My first paragraph explains why white people in the US are so racist. Simple example. A person like Donald Trump enjoyed first hand apartheid rule in the US when he was in college. He and his entire generation was raised up with the idea to treat black people as 2nd class is alright. And you just do not erase a culture that has been imprinted for centuries within 1 generation by signing a law, champ.

    My 2nd paragraph is how the facts are that white people are on many fronts more criminal than black people, yet black people are arrested predominantly over this. It's the American culture. It has nothing to do with what people learned when being around black people.

    "That has primary to do with their poverty."

    Do you think that a person who's just been assaulted cares why a criminal is a criminal?

    If wego down that route almost every criminal probably had some reason they turned out how they did. Criminals first need to be taken off the street to make them safe for our children then you can look at the why.

    Do you think a person who just happens to look like that criminal is being treated as if he is just like that criminal, cares about that when he is being victimized? Do you dare to treat the Jews like they are Bernie Madoff? Would be something.

    I get so sick and tired of federal cases being made out of this stuff. Even if a guard did say something inappropriate to the kids, that is a national news event? Give me a break. All that would be warranted is a quiet objection by the supervisor of the kids, and report him if he continues to be rude. And I am getting really sick of a federal case being made out of watermelon. I LOVE watermelon and have always served it in the summertime to black friends and associates who also like it. When it becomes a major offense to offer a black person watermelon or even to say the word, we really have gone off the deep end in political correctness.

    No they don't but it's common that alot of people who've been pulled over or gets in trouble by authority think their just being picked on.

    Cops do that to everyone their jobs are to catch criminals. the only thing constant is cop treat poor people worse than rich people. How many poor white people are there in the US compared to black people?

    I answered your question now it's your turn do you think people who are the victim of a crime care why the criminal turned out that way?

    If someone assaulted your loved one would you look into that person's life to let them off easy or would you want them off the streets so they couldn't hurt anyone else?

    You seem to lump all whites into the same racist category but seem concerned about what happens to a black guy who happens to look like a different criminal.

    With 'white privilege' being all the rage these days, do you deny black privilege exists? My first example of black privilege being alive and well is your seemingly excusing their crimes because of poverty which was laid on them by white people.

    You don't get such a wide discrepancy between white and black people who got pulled over, with just a handful of racists. Who are you kidding.

    It's a simple fact that black people get a higher sentence than white people under the same circumstances, champ. And with that I put up an entire list of embarrassing facts how on average the predominantly white community mistreats it's black minority. Bit weird you refuse to accept... facts.
