Not to be too cynical, but Gore & Co. like this issue because it's a way to appeal to black voters on a topic that is barely a federal issue, and doesn't involve any federal dollars. A (white) friend who lives in the black Brooklyn neighborhood of Bed-Stuy got a call from an automated Hillary just before election day saying how passionately she cares about racial profiling. She's for capital punishment and welfare reform too, but she didn't mention that in her call.
