This was a very interesting series aired by CBC (Canadian Network) in March 2010. There are a number of clips covering various aspects of racism and racial profiling. Alot of which people do without realizing. I think intentional racism is really a matter of a state of stupidity that people choose to remain submerged in...However unconscious racial profiling? Thats the real issue worth worrying about.
Unconscious racial profiling and racism marks the point where we stop thinking for ourselves and letting the media think for us. We are all guilty of it in one way or another...Do we think certain races are better at driving than others? Or that some races are more capable of harm or inflicting danger upon the rest of us? Think about how your sense of security and actions are affected by the media and how those ideologies have subconsciously infiltrated the way we now naturally think, behave and feel.
