I know the answer, but, do you think he could have handled the situation better? IMO YES.

Basically you are saying if you ever got jumped by a black person, you have the right to treat EVERY black person as "suspicious" till the end of time. Lets be honest, profiling is a dirty word, but it exists for a reason. Ive mentioned my basketball scenario 100 times. I get profiled when i step onto a basketball court all the time.

Matter of fact yesterday, kid liked my shoes and he said to me "dont make me be black bro, dont make me have to steal those". Black kid, prob 20-21, totally joking, but his own admission was a stereotype of his race.

Why did TM "profile" GZ and respond to him with hostility? A- Cultural differences. Educational differences. A different view of the legal system and a lack of faith in it. A culture that glorifies violence and perpetuates an "us vs the world" mentality. A lot of young black kids just simply dont know any better. Theyre not educated with the tools to handle various social situations.
My point was to show that both races do it, doesnt make it wrong , but both could have handled the situation differently
