I am pretty well known at my bank too, so much so the the branch manager and one of the tellers and I regularly discuss guns and shooting, at the bank, and they know I am a serious hand gunner, they also know I'm not a moonbat gang banger or a raghead terrorist... Appearance matters... And professionals radiate professionalism! :D Katie, it’s all in how you go about doing business…

Regardless of the color of the person's skin. If you act suspicious the bank employees are going to keep an eye on you. I act friendly with the tellers in my bank. I know them all on first name basis and have even exchanged Christmas cards with them. I also get great service from my bank. No I'm not even remotely close to a Rockefeller, but I always remember what Mama said: "You get more flies with honey, than you do with vinegar." And Mama was always right.

They sue because their racist lawyers take the cases with “no” upfront money and there is money to go after. We cannot sue because there is “no” money to be had. “Maybe it’s time we DID sue, every time we get called redneck, cracker, whatever, mental stress being what it is, maybe it’s time…”

Will try this one again. I'm sick and tired of hearing the word "racism". If you don't want to be profiled, don't dress or behave in a suspicious manner. 'Nuff said. I could rant more, but I have posted enough of this nonsense on my own blog and it's giving me a headache....

No need to campaign or place ads if you can be seen as the great arbiter for racial profiling. When you got to Royce West, it all fell into place.
