Coates argues that racism and prejudice isnt the overt thing we like to think of it as. It is far deeper and for more sub-conscience. He calls the deli owner a good man but quesitons how he can be a good man and still racially profile as he did. <br /> I agredd that this acts shouldnt be tolerated and apologizing is a great start. This issue is that these ideas too engrained in our society. like the embarassed deli owner he knows what he did was wrong and seems to have acted in the moment. i agree though that there is no clear answer to this problembut we should continue to look down on such racial profiling.John Bonhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272059848899256767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503569476724915921.post-28032920677659983072013-04-26T14:23:29.610-07:002013-04-26T14:23:29.610-07:00While I wish that more could be done to receive ju...While I wish that more could be done to receive justice out of these racially-profiled accusations, I do not believe there is. It's awful that we live in a society that jumps to conclusions simply because of people's race. Fear of something different is what spurs such comments and actions against non-whites. Whites' fear of blacks' is centuries old; it is time to move on from believing that blacks, or people of any ethnicity other than white, are "brutes, apes, and terrorists." There are too many other issues of concern to be fearing another man's skin color and the connotations behind it. I think that apologies are a good start to repairing the situation, but after that, I do not have a solution. Individuals who want to believe the negative things about non-whites will not make an effort to change themselves. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112072461071634536noreply@blogger.com
