**it’s not as much flawed as it is subjective. For me, when I walk past a bunch of Mexicans lounging against a library wall I get nervous. They never did anything to me. But in high school the guys who lounged there were all Mexicans and when I walked past them I got harassed and beaten. True story. So yea, the comparison might be totally valid to the person who has been robbed by blacks enough times to instill a reasonable fear. Details matter I don't care how you justify it. Equating someone wearing middle-eastern clothing with terrorists is just plain wrong, and unintelligent. Inflaming people to do so during an election season (when you should know better) is even worse. **that is not what he was doing. I find it hard to believe that you actually watched the clip in its whole context. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
