"America is world famous for it's level of crime and violence, especially within it's cities. Extraordinary tragedys of death are common fixtures on our news and media. Although in all fairness when considering a population of over 200 Million - an annual murder rate of 1/10,000th of that (approx 20,000 per year) is not quite as frightening. Far more people die of traffic accidents and suicide in America than violent murder by a margin of over 2 to 1, but Fear sells. It drives the news media. It sells newspapers, it keeps news programs on the air and provides the grist for the entertainment mill as well. One of the facts often and repeatedly reported in the news media is the percentage of minority, particularly young black men, who are arrested for violent crimes. Considering the frequency that this is reported it would be rather difficult not to take this into account when running through the questions..."Does he look dangerous"? - by consciously or sub-consciously appending..."Does he look dangerous - like one of those violent young black criminals?"
Essentially, it is common for most people to act as amateur statisticians, mentally calculating the odds and percentages for various outcomes when they encounter a person they have very little information about. It is entirely "Rational". A decision, or judgment which is circumstantially based on very limited facts and information. Not only does this occur in dark alleys, but in banks when loans are applied for, and in job interviews. This is why most people endeavor to present their "Best Face" when in these situations, even though doing so actually legitimizes this type of "Rational" Discrimination by catering to it."

Based on this article this article is talking about mentally action of people. These are some ways people act agaisnt each other and start doin crazy things. Like killin, robbin people and using drugs etc. These are damages that people get from different causes. It might be of hate and racial problems. People should help each other out. Doesnt matter if u colored skin. On this articles it says more succides and traffic accidents have killed more people than crimes. That means people have to be more carefull and not put no ones live in danger. If things keep going like this kinda wild its going to effect alot of things. Specially racism something that a lot of people its going threw. We should all make it better for us and stop crimes and dangerous things on the streets of ower city, country and states. Lets make peace and stop all this crazyness going around. Love And Peace.
