Now on to the topic...

What you are saying is don't suspect anyone unless they have done something personally. That means, EVERYONE should be treated the same. And I don't think I said you said "I want every person singled out of every race" I didn't say that, but by what you say, don't suspect someone just because of the way they look or who they hang out with.....thats wrong....it shouldn't be done here in Canada......
I'm NOT saying single out everyone in an attempt to treat everyone equal. I AM saying do not single out anyone, unless they've done something wrong or suspisious.

There's a difference between treating everyone the same by questioning them all, and treating everyone the same by not questioning anyone unless warrented.
You implied that I suggested the first, when I only suggested the second. You may disagree all you like, but atleast make some effort to practice some reading comprehension, and argue with what I've actually said.
Do not put words in my mouth.

Thats what I have been saying but according to you, that is wrong, don't do it based on colour of skin. Never did I say check EVERYONE....find where I said that.....thats right you can't.....don't talk to me about intellegence buddy.
I said don't check based on skin colour alone, and you argued with me. Now you're trying to say that what you've been saying is look beyond skin colour. Make up your mind.
Is it ok to profile based on colour, or not?

And sorry that I talked to you about intellegence. I didn't mean to push you beyond you limits. Next time I'll try to talk about stupidity.

Bull****, most of their searches are based on random searches or questionable material found on the X-ray machine. I don't know how many times I have see them have 90 year old people take their belt off, and do body pat downs. They even check the pilots of the airplanes for God sakes. Real smart.
You would like to believe that. It's not true and it's not even debatable.

As for the bars, I beleive they do base some of their refusals on race but don't tell me only white people can get in. My one buddy quite frequently gets refused because he is over 300 pounds and not the most attractive person around.
2 wrongs don't make a right. I feel bad for your friend. I know what it's like to be refused entry based on a physical trait. Not cool.
I'm not sure why that's relevant though. Are you suggesting that a fat guy getting denied as well, justifies racism? strange logic.

Thats because white people aren't blowing up planes, boats, building, solidars, trains and every other thing on a regular basis.
Neither are most brown people. Exactly my point.
