I was checking my facebook page and a particular note caught my attention that a friend posted. This is such a difficult topic to even swallow. It is soo wrong in every way or form! There is no justifying racial profiling!
You always hope it doesn't happen to you or to someone you know. You hear the stories and even the horrific ones where the victims die as a result!
There is something that you can do! Please be apart of this movement. Visit these links www.restorefairness.org

This is the link and the note that I received on facebook from Yassin Alsalman aka The Narcicyst":

"A sister by the name of Nadine Wahab sent this to me and Offendum and we stand behind this 100%. Please take the time to watch the video below and visit this website to see how you can get involved. To all those who have ever been racially profiled.
"Every Beautiful face has an ugly side to it"
"Face the Truth: Racial Profiling Across America” is a powerful documentary produced by Breakthrough and the Rights Working Group featuring stories of individuals affected by racial profiling and educational interviews with notable law enforcement and civil society leaders. The video released alongside the Rights Working Group report “Faces of Racial Profiling: A Report from Communities Across America” underscores the need to stop racial profiling by federal, state and local law enforcement.
Racial and religious profiling is a pervasive problem that affects many communities across the country. Not only is racial and religious profiling humiliating and degrading for the people subjected to it, it is unconstitutional and violates fundamental human rights, it is an ineffective law enforcement practice, and it damages community safety.
