Racial profiling needs to stop

Looking at the news and other social media, we all know that racism still is a huge problem in America.

One type of racism in America is Racial profiling.

In an ACLU article about Racial profiling states: "Racial profiling is the use of race or ethnicity as grounds for suspecting someone of having committed an offense. Racial profiling is a long-standing and deeply troubling national problem despite claims that the United States has entered a 'post-racial era.' It occurs every day, in cities and towns across the country, when law enforcement and private security target people of color for humiliating and often frightening detentions, interrogations, and searches without evidence of criminal activity and based on perceived race, ethnicity, national origin, or religion."

Knowing this, we should put an end to any racial profiling in general. Letting things like this slip and forgetting about it isn't going to help anybody.
