It should come as no surprise to most that people today, sadly live in a world of racial profiling, or biases. In fact from the years of 2011-2014 there was a study conducted by Cody T. Ross, which reveled that there was sufficient data to verify that there is an alarming number of killings of unarmed black United States citizens compared to the number of white U.S. citizens killed every year (Weir, 2016). Pursuing this further, racial profiling, or bias, is even more apparent in areas that have dwindling numbers of minorities. To better explain, in Falcon Heights, Minnesota 7 percent of the city’s residences is made of people who have documented themselves as black Americans; however, these black U.S. citizen’s make up roughly 47 percent of Falcon Heights arrests records (Weir, 2016). This is a clear example of racial bias at its worst. Counting this matter further, many States such as Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, West Virginia, Iowa, Wyoming Idaho, Montana, Kentucky, and North Dakota all have the lowest numbers of minorities, especial black Americans, who have taken up residency (Roney, 2016). Sadly these states also have some of the highest arrest records of black men and women than most other States in the U.S. (Roney, 2016).
