It's good that Blacks are realizing the connections b/w the recent racial profiling of Arab Americans, and the "racial profiling" that we have felt ever since the establishment of this country.
A friend of mine expressed concern that President Bush basically told the American public to leave the Arab Americans alone, when Blacks have been targets forever. NOW, this type of profiling is more than just frowned upon, but adamently and unmistakenly opposed. It's a shame that this type of event, is the one thing that could make the American public see that we should not single out, and mistreat people based on religion, race, and ethnicity.
