'Target' black youth, councillor urges

once again, the star has gone out of their way to take a story and play it up by focusing on volatile words like "target".

i loathe this paper more and more. but it has a good sports section, so whats a guy to do? except that dave feshuk guy. i want to punch him in the nads.

but i digress.

i think this is the funniest story ever. i mean....is this councillor OUT OF HIS MIND? if this dude was white, we'd be breaking out the pillowcases, pitchforks, and burning crosses.

i also think it's funny how people think racial profiling in the justice system is somehow related to "political correctness".

are....you kidding me?

the minority in your office with the corner cubicle who doesn't speak english and had sub-average grades in university may be an affirmitive action hire. that's political correctness.

pulling over black kids because some punks might have guns is just retarded.

just....unbelievable.

i particularly like reading the "voice your own opinion" pieces at the star.

"Discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, nationality or on any other identity undermines the basic human rights and freedoms to which every person is entitled to. However, when innocent lives are being taken and statistics show that the majority of these gun crimes are committed by members of the "young black" community how can we be against the suggestion. If this so- called "discrimination" will save one innocent life or more then why not?

i suppose that also, muslims should no longer be allowed to board airplanes without a thorough cavity and luggage check.

you know, cuz all terrorists are islamic.

detaining every muslim at the airport for a few hours of interrogation may actually save a life some day.

but oh well! guess it just sucks to be islamic eh?

i also don't get why she put quotes around "young black" community. what does that even mean? they're just pretending to be young but are actually old? so you got like 30-year old gangsta's running around telling people they're 18?

or does she mean they're not REALLY black? i'm so confused.

oh well. i'm sure jennifer vivian from brampton knows whats best for us all. nobody with two first names could possibly be wrong.
