Ahh yes, the good ol' "how you dress", "how you carry yourself", "your personal hygiene", "how you talk" or one of the other hundred responses I get from people immediately when I talk about the unfair treatment I've seen in my life. All I can say is no it has nothing to do with how I dress, because half of those "random checks" were during my business trips when I worked for a major consulting firm. So I doubt my suit and tie had anything to do with it.

You might be suffering from confirmation bias. You have a forgone conclusion (it's all due to racism), so you see racism everywhere.

It's just really farfetched that all black people are being frisked at airports as much as you are, simply because they're black.

Maybe it could be your face matches some known terrorist or something. Or maybe you're flying out of the same airport a lot and the staff has it out for you for some reason. Who knows?

I feel based on your arguments, it is you who has more of a confirmation bias. In your opinion, the probability of my face matching a terrorist or that the airport staff has it out for me is higher than a simple "people can be racist". You are just convinced that people just cry racism for no reason.
