I will admit, when I am out driving around, and I see a dark 4 door sedan of any kind, I am looking to see if the guy is driving the car. My eyes are constantly scanning the streets when I drive, to see if he is sitting somewhere casing a house.
I AM looking for a black man. I don't consider what I am doing racial profiling of any sort, I am simply trying to find the one man that has been described, the one in the posters. The one that could ruin my world if he found an open window at my house.
If it were a white man with a shaved head, pitted cheeks, etc, I would be doing the same thing! I want this guy caught before he hurts anyone else.
I just don't see how this could be turned into a racial profiling issue. That is why I started this thread. Maybe I am missing something or not seeing it from the right point of view. Help me out.

But you are looking for a 6 foot 250lb Black man with pitted cheeks, not every Black man, Right?
I know this is scary and I am glad you are taking precautions.
There is a history in our country of blaming Black men for everything, even if no one had actually "seen" the rapist, some would have just assumed. Like when that woman who drowned her kids blamed a Black man a few years ago...Susan Smith I think....
Black men get blamed for so many things, and in the heat of the moment some people's memory is not so good...like was it a Black man? or could it have been a White man in a mask or with black nylons over his face?
Am I making sense?
