I’m not offended!

Personally, I don't think it's about color.
It's about behaving in a manner that draws attention from law enforcement. That includes being at the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people.

Which reminds me of the time I was in the waiting area of the airport. I had just finished eating a chicken biscuit, thrown away my trash when along comes a police officer with a drug sniffing dog. The dog made a direct bee line towards me and starts sniffing me and my carry on luggage. Everyone in the airport is looking at me. I hold out my hands so the dog can get a good sniff of them. I think he could have swallowed my hand whole. I asked the officer if I could pet the dog, and he stated he preferred I didn't. I explained I had just eaten, had two dogs myself and understood this ones attention to me. The officer and the dog seemed satisfied with my response. Wasn't even asked to open my bag. I didn't try to make a scene, or cause a problem. I was polite, showed respect. No problem, and my wife and I decided to look at the incident in a humorous way and not get mad at the police, and the dog, for picking me out of the crowd.
