Racial Profiling

It's a fact of life for minorities.

Racial Profiling

 

By Elton Camp

 

A black man walks in a suburban neighborhood

That the police will be called will be understood

A young black woman is dressed extremely cute

So some will then assume that she’s a prostitute

 

When a Muslim man attempts an airplane to board

Angry glares and muttered words show he’s abhorred

A Mexican man in the USA often comes to feel grief

Because onlookers take him to be lazy or even a thief

 

By police, the racial profiling is ever so much bolder

Minorities are disproportionately pulled to the shoulder

Yet, I cannot declare my own self to be prejudice-free

A black man appears and I lock my car quick as can be
