Examples Of Racial Profiling

Racial Profiling The South. The origins of the Jim Crow laws and the idea of separate but equal. These laws stayed intact until 1964 when the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed. Over half a century has passed yet in Southern States there is still has a discriminatory nature when someone of color succeed. When people of color succeed pass the white population, for example in basketball, the white population will try to create false assumptions and create uncomfortable situations to affect the people of colors mindset with the intentions of making them fail.
A primary example of this was shown in the documentary Us Against the World. This documentary follows around Coach Rodricks Rhodes and his majority black populated basketball team in Eastern

In episode two of this ten episode documentary Coach Rhodes found out that his contract with Cordia High School was not renewed by the superintendent of the school district due to allegations of illegal recruitment and violations of district policies for the procedures related to the Red Book training and accounting requirements. This incident happened after Coach Rhodes lead a majority black team to will all “A” which is a Kentucky State championship. These allegations seemed to have been made up out of nowhere considering the facts from Cordia’s side. Cordia offers dorms for students which attract a lot of out of states students who are sent there to get away from things. For example one of the boys from the basketball team, Momo, was sent there so he would not end up on the streets like his brothers. This school was build with the intentions of being a safe haven for disadvantaged students as the director of the school

There was a student that dressed like a gorilla to make fun of the black players on Cordia’s team. The students also posted pictures of nooses, people of color being hung, and videos of burning flags. Also during the game the students chanted USA to target the students from Canada on Cordia’s team. These students did not face any consequence from the school for these actions. It was swept under a rug by the school. Another example of this would be shown in episode eight against Buckhorn where the player would start throwing very explicit words, n word and the b word, towards the players. They purposely did this to degrade the player and try to knock down the players mentality of the players. This was not the first time this has happened with Buckhorn either. Four years prior Cordia had a scrimmage against Buckhorn and a player from Buckhorn was throwing out the N word towards a Cordia player. The coach sent an apology to the team for his team's action. If this incident has happened before and the coach apologized, the coach should have taken precautions and advised his players to avoid using slurs like that yet it still
