Solving Racial Profiling in America Racial Profiling connects very closely with racism and neither one of these things are new to the United States.

Black Lives Matter or BLM is an international activist movement, originating in the…

Police departments have often been accused of racial profiling throughout the years. Many times the incidents ended in tragedies that will not be forgotten. This situation has brought up riots that were uncontrollable and everyone just sat back and watched.
