Racial profiling is nothing new to the Black community, but other cultures seem to dismiss the incidents, its impact and frequency. However, recent events such as the Alabama Waffle House arrest where a young woman was violently thrown to the floor, two Black men at Starbucks who were also arrested just for waiting on a friend, and several other incidents sparked the question during a CNN panel discussion: “is racial profiling on the rise or just starting to get more attention?
