The Differences Of Racial Profiling And Iron Triangles

Have you ever been racially profiled while driving, shopping or while just walking in a particular neighborhood? Personally I have never been a victim of racial profiling, but I will be 16-years old this summer and able to drive to school, to a friends house or to shop at the mall. I realize that it is a possibility that I could be racially profiled at some point. There have been recent incidents that made racial profiling a very controversial issue. On February 26, 2012 in Sanford, Florida, Trayvon Martin, an unarmed, 17-year old African-American high school student walked through a gated community and was fatally shot after an altercation. Trayvon Martin’s parents strongly believed he was racially profiled, as stated in a news article

What makes America? Is it the freedoms granted to any American citizen? Is it the way the founding fathers fought for their own freedom against Britain? Is it instead the racial history behind this nation? America, since its origins has been a country of immigrants and for immigrants, yet since its origins, there has been discriminatory laws against blacks, Latinos, Asians, and every other race that is not considered white or Caucasian. Has this country that has been based upon racial profiling, that has fought wars as one nation (and even against themselves at one point), and has triumphed through the Civil Rights movement finally succumbed to justice or is racial profiling just as prominent today? Racial profiling still exists in America because ____________________, ___________________, and _____________________. (3 reasons stated in thesis)

If love has no color, how about justice? Is justice defined by any color in the United States of America, a country that is well known for its diversity and prosperity? Sadly to say, the existence and the usage of the word “stereotype” has raised doubts about justice since it has existed and progressed as part of the American culture for a long time. Stereotype can be classified into many subcategories, one of which is racial profiling. This issue, where authorities target certain individuals based on their racial characteristics, has never ceased. According to many influential claimsmakers, racial profiling has stained the United States by negatively affecting society and disturbing the certainty of justice. It is unconstitutional and

Racial profiling has become a big thing in the world today. I honestly believe it has always been a problem. Racial profiling is someone who is a different color and is blamed for a crime because of the color of their skin. When someone commits a crime, the police are going to suspect it was someone of color, rather than someone who is white. There are about 770,000 interracial crimes committed a year involving Blacks and Whites. Blacks commit 85 percent, and Whites commit 15 percent. As it shows there are more Blacks that commit crimes then whites, but it doesn’t mean we should jump to conclusion on if it was the black or white person. Honestly, looks can be deceiving, because there are plenty of white people who we thought wouldn’t commit a crime but did. By crimes I mean embezzlement, fraud, and sometimes even murder. You would think it would be more of a white crime if it was embezzlement and fraud because what black person is smart. You would think murders would be done by the black person because, white people don’t murder unless they were raised with colored people. Black people aren’t more likely to go to prison for embezzlement or fraud, but they could. White people aren’t more likely to go to prison because of murder, but they could. That is why racial profiling is such a serious thing because you never know who did it unless you make observations.

Racial Profiling and The Iron Triangle have similarities. From certain group of people, ethics group, and interest. In this passage I will be talking about is racial profiling still goes on despite it is unconstitutional, the practice of racial profiling to the policy making power of iron triangles, and relating the policy making power of iron triangles to how policies can be changed or instituted.

Racial profiling still exists in America. "Racial profiling" refers to law enforcement strategies and practices that single out individuals as objects of suspicion solely on the basis of mainly their race. Prejudice and racial profiling of law enforcement is responsible for many false arrests, convictions, and countless deaths of blacks in the United States. This is one of the main difficulties of life and obstacles minorities have to face in their life because for one they are a minority and two because of their skin color. Police racial profiling is an ongoing problem that blacks in America have been facing with for over thousands of years dating back to before Blacks got their freedom. With the recent acts that are happenings in Ferguson and Eric Garner, to what happened to Rodney King, I believe it is only right to discuss the history of prejudice and racial profiling and how it relates to the discriminatory acts of police and judicial system towards blacks in the United States. Most importantly, I will discuss how America can help make a change of action to put an end to the Police racial profiling and brutality that still exists in this nation.

Racial profiling in the United States has become more of a hot topic in the past years more than ever before in the 21st century. With races butting heads on presidential elections, terrorist attacks, police brutality, and more that continues to separate our country than unite it. The Iron Triangle is in place to help, strengthen, and better the US Government and the citizens of the country. While the Iron Triangle has made the government a balanced machine, it has its flaws dealing with racial profiling and trying to find solutions in fixing them.

Iron triangles helped to create the laws we have in place now. Back when segregation first began special interest groups helped to ensure the rights of the minority’s in America was less than the majority. This made it possible for our policing agencies to use racial profiling to make a choice on who to stop and who not to. So how do we make a change? It starts with a special interest group, they will fund money a congress man\woman and ask for there support in making a change in racial profiling in America. The congress woman will propose a bill such as putting a stop to the “stop and frisk” in hopes of reducing the racial profiling across America. This bill will have to go through special committees and the Bureaucracy. But once passed it can help many peoples of different ethnic

Ever since the late 1970 's profiling was associated with a method of interdicting drug traffickers (Data Collection Resource Center, n.d., para 3). The profiling provided not only a quick way to see evidence of concealment in the vehicle, but included age and race characteristics of possible drivers (Data Collection Resource Center, n.d., para 3). The controversy is over whether or not there are a disproportionate number of blacks and Hispanics involved with law enforcement that reflects police racism or is it merely the outcome of disproportionate minority crime (MacDonald, 2003, pg. 9). MacDonald (2003, p. 9) reported the high rates of minority stops and arrests do not accurately reveal racism was the cause. In the past our society has labeled this problem as being prejudice or a racist, but now there is a new term. "Minorities refer to it as DWB, driving while black. Politicians call it racial profiling." (Sweeney, n.d.).

Back in 2000, the New York City council held a series of meetings in the Bronx after the shooting of Amandou Diallo. Their goal was to address as well as repair the relationships between police officers and city residents. However the first meeting did not go as the suspected, over two hundred of the attendees accused police officers of mistreating African-Americans. One after another shared their humiliating encounters with the police. This all occurred almost sixteen years ago, and the most upsetting part is that not a thing has changed. These actions have only alienated communities from law enforcement. Racial profiling is patently illegal and violates the U.S. Constitutions core promises of equal protection under the law.

The Hebshi incident is just one example of what can happen when one or more of the Iron Triangle participants engage in racial profiling. Racial profiling can be created through the Iron Triangle starting with the organized effort of interest

Racial profiling of minorities is a very important issue that has been going on in our country for a very long time. As it was brought up in several times in the article over Shoshana Hebshi, and her lawsuit of the FBI, and it brought a statement that grabbed many more people’s attention. A lot of people especially took to it, because people are always wanting the best for their children and don’t want them to grow up in a world were even the slightest visual difference can make you a target or cause you suffering. The thing that alarmed most people that were brought into the light through this, see that it happens even beyond the police, in governmental agencies that are held to the highest standards we can hold. Immigrants founded this country, and if we the people do not keep the government in check, it will end up with us loosing freedoms. There are three main issues that need to be addressed, what happened to Shoshana, racial profiling, and the iron triangle in the government.

Judging a book by its cover is one of the most common yet worst mistakes a person can make. Racial profiling is judging a person by their skin color, and not only does this lead you to false ideas about that person, but also hurts that person you’re judging. Shoshana Hebshi was judged; she was targeted because of her Arab background and the way she looked. Due to her experience, she is now filing lawsuits against the federal agencies that accused her and working to stop racial profiling. Racial profiling is wrong and in order bring it to an end, Hebshi shouldn’t stop with filing lawsuits against the federal agencies but continue to gain support from similar ideological interest groups as well as congressional support. With support from each part of the Iron Triangle, racial profiling could be put to an end.

The Amin brothers, Ahmad and Hassan, were normal young adults like you and I. They lived in Pakistan for only a short period of their lives and moved to the US at a young age. Their mother, Tahira Manzur had high hopes that they will become permanent, working, residents of the US. Unfortunately, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, or INS for short, had suspicions that the young men had correlations to a 9/11 terrorist attack. Hassan was arrested and stayed at Yuba county jail overnight until a 4,000$ bail freed him and his younger brother ,Ahamad, missed school every wednesday and had to check in with the INS Offices. In the process, they were in the fight against being deported for 5 tiring years along with rigorous court dates all because of assumptions to terrorism. (Racial Profiling since 9/11). Part of their young lives was striped from them. Racial profiling can and has had a detrimental effect on many lives like the Amin brothers. What does the INS do? Their main job is to regulate immigrants who come into the country and if their transmission is legal. Racial profiling is used, mainly in law enforcement, to target people based off of stereotypes of their race, ethnicity, religion, or origin if they are suspected to be part of a criminal action. It has been around since the 1800’s but a recent event also revealed it was used as well when Japanese immigrants wanted to move to the US but were denied access because of distrust from the result
