I saw this (non religious) video on Facebook and it made me angry

RE: I saw this (non religious) video on Facebook and it made me angry
The issue I have with these videos is the fact that it shows a cultural issue. It is not intended racism, to be honest. It is logical judgment based on first appearances which is solely to blame on the African American culture. Maybe if the popular attire that “gangs” like to wear was not popularized by their “gangsta” rap. Then maybe this kind of profiling would not have happened. As much as I hate judgment based on cloths, you have to think about it logically. If I see a bunch of white dude with tattoos, leather and riding a motor cycle. I going to be highly suspect and try not to piss them off. Why? Because they are dressing like the freaken hells angels. The same is applied, when we are bombarded by their own culture that “gangs” dress like this. Then when we see them dressed like that, what do you think people are going to assume?

I would like to see this test done with a black guy dressed nice, maybe not in a suit but nice and modest. I imagine the difference will dramatically different. Or have a white guy dressed in wife beater, with a shaved head, and swastikas on his arms, yea what am I going to assume? The blind sympathy for race is annoying. I know racism exists, I live in the freaking South. However, I have learned that racism is born partly out of ignorance, and partly out of cultural reinforcement.
