I don't judge the color of their skin. Do I associate crime with minorities? Sometimes, yes. Why? Because it is common. Not all profiling is inaccurate. I don't at all associate black wealthy people with thugs. The few black people I grew up around were well educated, and great people. Unfortunately, upon reaching high school, they decided it was time to "act black," and I lost touch with many of them. The valedictorian of my high school was a brilliant black girl, and I got along very well with her, and because she is someone I like to associate with, we remain friends. In other words, it is not skin color, it truly is character. However, even wealthy and intelligent black people often condone actions because of loyalty to race. While I understand sticking up for one another, it can also cause a rift in a community like mine.
