The same day the Attorney General was condemning the “underlying attitudes, mistaken beliefs and stereotypes” that create racial strife, the City of Indianapolis was implementing the single largest case of racial profiling in the history of this country.
This Friday and Saturday night, the streets of downtown Indianapolis will be full from some of the 250,000 black people attending the annual Indiana Black Expo.
Much like George Zimmerman knew that black people were responsible for a crime wave in his town, city officials “know” the Black Expo has a ten-year history of intense and frequent violence and lawlessness.
So they are getting ready for more. That is racial profiling. ------ The summer of 2010 was probably the worst. After the Black Expo let out for the evening, thousands of black people hit the streets of downtown. Chaos and violence followed. At least ten people were shot. A lot more were rampaging through downtown, destroying property and creating mayhem.
A lot of it was captured on video. All just a few weeks after Al Sharpton himself appeared in Indianapolis to complain about racist police. ------ The preparations during the Memorial Day holiday for Black Beach Week in Miami Beach were just as intense.
More racial profiling.
And up the road in South Carolina, cops from throughout the region were on stand by as tens of thousands of black people descended on the Myrtle Beach area for Black Biker Week.
More racial profiling. ------ Still not convinced? Consider the police presence at the Indianapolis 500 just a few weeks ago. Cops wrote tickets to 181 people, most alcohol-related. There were one or two cases of violence. That’s it.
Just like last year. And the year before. And the year before that. Yet the Indy 500 attracts far more people — 300,00 to 400,00 – with far fewer police. Far less lawbreaking.
One crowd is black. The other white. ------ Someone call the Attorney General and tell him to forget about the Zimmerman investigation and go to Indianapolis.
Even civil rights leaders profile. “There is nothing more painful for me at this stage in my life,” Jesse Jackson said several years ago, “than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery—and then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”
