Mercury Reader-Black Men and Public Space-Response

It is crazy how so many people accuse innocent ones each year of committing crimes and doing horrible things. I know they may mistake some for ones who actually do it, but people need to stop judging people just because of the way they dress or act. Not everyone is a bad person and it is hard to tell the difference between the innocent and guilty. People need to stop racial profiling, being racist, and stereotyping. Just because someone looks like they could commit a crime, does not mean they are going to. People should be cautious and aware of their surroundings, but not to the point where they accuse everyone they see of doing something bad in the future. Some people cannot afford brand new looking clothes and fancy things. People are too quick to judge others, especially ones wearing certain clothes. People fear some things they shouldn’t just to be safe. I guess it is better to be safe than sorry. Some, however, take it a little too far. They judge immediately upon meeting or seeing a person and they do things to avoid them. Some people need to just get to know people before they should be allowed to judge. Innocent people should not have to sing classical songs just to show the rest of the world they are not bad people that will commit a crime in the future.
