Black men are now officially lumped in with Arabs and Muslim men around the world as potential terrorists and dangers to the West in the wake of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s attempted Christmas day suicide bombing.
It looks like America is getting rid of its Civil Rights so that the government can actively profile all persons who are as General McInerney said on Fox News, “are Muslim and between the ages of 18-24.” Both he and Newt Gingrich won’t say stop all people brown or black skinned; the majority will draw this conclusion on their own. The operative words are “discriminating based upon behavior.”
As much as people willfully fool themselves into thinking that the “stepped up” efforts by security agencies will be spent on reviewing the suspicious actions of passengers, there is not enough time management resources to properly train and educate TSA employees to become astute observers of suspicious behavior. Instead TSA workers will revert to the easier way to stopping “the enemies” – discriminate based upon name, religious affiliation, race and ethnicity.
