Family Matters

Today in America there is a lot of controversy in the racial profiling of young black men. This topic has increased in the past year or two because of huge incidents. The show family matters is an older television show based in the 90s have an example of an episode of "Family Matters" where the son Eddie Winslow got pulled over for a failure to use a signal. His father Carl Winslow is also a cop of the Chicago area in the show and has a few words for the police officers who questioned his son. The show is old and has an old school feel to it so its before all of the Ferguson and Garland incidents but was still relevant and a huge topic in the 80s and 90s. Another reason its relevant to todays life is because there are many people worried about racial profiling in America against black people. A specific moment in the scene is when the black officer asks why his son was pulled over and it was said that he looked like a certain criminal that the police were looking for. The black officer knew the other white officer was lying because he didn't fit the description and he was the in charge of looking for these certain criminals. This also applies to my own life because I've been stopped at least three times by the police in the last year and it was because i was in a big group of people who looked like we were up to no good.
