Profiling and the joke is on stereotype

Before philistine Profiling, the phrase of choice was stereo-type and
stereo-typing. in post Reagan United States, it's now profiling. When welded with seeming conscientious purpose it assumes social responsibility hence redemption from it's supposed maligned shelf of bigotry---and all the "good" people rest on their laurels, sanctimoniously, of having fought the good fight with their marginalized and suppressed compatriots, that another bridge to the charnel plains of mans barbarity has been burned--- that when it thrives in it's new guise, it's insidiously unrecognized, Profiling and the joke is on stereotype.

Reaction, across the nation has repackaged that old weapon stereo-type into it's more charismatic sibling, profiling, Culture and habits are "profiled" criminal and deviant and we acquiesce to it's intent: and we speak of the ends justify the means, hence collaborating with the very zeitgeist we "pray" to overcome on other fronts, this mechanism which finds the underprivileged and scape-goated as statistics in a reality not defined by their ability or lack of , but by the dreams and fears of another.
