Prince Harry to comic: "You don't sound like a black chap."
Black comedian Mr Amos added: "I wanted to say: 'How is I supposed to sound?'"
Now that would have been hilarious and all should have been settled.
Maybe Harry has only seen Amos and Andy television shows and not really talked
to many black people at all. I don't know. Do you?
Racial profiling may be questionable but excluding race as a factor is illogical.
If 4 black or 4 white guys rob a bank, are you not going to look for white or black
guys driving the getaway car?
If two dudes wearing turbans rob a place, does it make sense to stop all cars
driven by white or black females? No, you profile the most likely suspects.

That's alright, Albert, as I've lived on a wing and a prayer all my life. 
I read/hear the news, process it to my life experiences, form an opinion,
then open my mind for discussion that will either reinforce or change my thinking.  |

We have to differ on the depth of conviction I think - I form an opinion, right or wrong and then stick to it to the point of blind stupidity!

I can still argue over day or night with a rock.  |

We did have a rash of Pet Rocks many moons ago. |

"If it has four legs and it's not a chair, if it has two wings and it flies but it's not an airplane, and if it swims and it's not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it."

Nothing wrong with the Chinese eating habits as my 3 years in the Far East proved
it to be true in many countries.
Even a comment on that saying was,
ACTUALLY I'm Cantonese and it's a Cantonese saying! The exact saying in Chinese translated to English is,
"If it's got it's back facing the sky, the Chinese would eat it".
