who the hell said anything about bad things happening all because of race? The point of the thread and the global tv test was to show how racial profiling is rampant in the city. In these cases, it was a pure case of being a particular race.

Your stereo scenario, fine, its evident it wasnt a racial motivation. But, when it comes to entry at clubs, it most certainly for the most part is that reason.
