On the second day of the event was a series of forums on a variety of civil rights issues, including racial profiling.

A recent study commissioned by the West Virginia Legislature showed more minority drivers are stopped by police than white drivers.

"It's very hurtful. It's very judgemental, judging people by their color or what they're driving or what they look like. It's unfair," said Constance Smith of Martinsburg.

Smith is one of 60 delegates attending the NAACP State Convention at West Virginia State University.

Racial profiling is a civil rights issue the group is watching very closely because goes hand in hand with criminal justice issues.

"Racial profiling is targeting people of race. Therefore you are going to come up with a greater number of minorities who commit crimes because that's who you are looking for to commit crimes," said Kenneth Hale, President of the West Virginia Chapter of the NAACP.

Charleston Police Chief Brent Webster was the featured speaker at a forum to discuss the issue.

"I don't think its right to say this person did this to me, and you tell nine and they tell 5 people. I would rather for them to come in, look at the video if there is any video, interview people," said Chief Webster.

"The perception is that if I'm an African-American, and I get pulled over, and I get accosted then I must have done something wrong. That's not necessarily true," said Hale.

Racial profiling has been talked about for decades. Many believe education is part of the solution.

"We have to work together. Put some of that hatred and stuff behind you and realize I'm equal to you," said Smith.

The group also plans to work with the legislature to make sure the punishment for certain drug possession crimes are equal.
