It would be interesting to hear the 9-1-1 tape.  *Most* people who call in 
don't start off by giving descriptions of the people doing a crime.  They 
start with generics.  Then the dispatcher asks for specifics -- race, 
big/tall, short/small, etc.  Any distinctive characteristics (backpacks)?

And I don't think "education" is the answer since it is always biased and 
has an inclination to teach more of what it is teaching against (DARE, for 
example).  The problem is children grow up with racist parents.  We could 
take them all away and put them in isolation <g>

Or then again, it may never go away.  Are chickens racist?  If you put a 
"different" color in with a bunch of all one color chickens they are like as 
not to ravage the poor thing.
