    Gabbi Rodriguez Barber Expository Per; 6 12 December 2014 In a 2002 article, Angela A Davis argues how racial profiling is a bad idea because racial profiling does more harm than good and people don’t realize it. Statistics are very reliable such as; “The Department of Health and Human Services reports that 77% of monthly drug users are white.” We can’t say that Caucasian people aren’t ever racially profiled but you just don’t see or hear it often. This proves that Caucasians can do the same crimes
