dragknee66 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 http://www.theleafchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060713/NEWS01/607130316/1002 Now this is the kind of shit that pisses me off. Knowing QUITE WELL that probably ALL big cities in this country have a "Minority recruiting unit" JUST like Columbus does. Even sitting down in the open house meeting they say "were a minority recruiting unit". For this already hired officer to say he was passed up for promotions for a better qualified officer just seriously pisses me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balian Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Yea, I find it really annoying how black people get real racist when they get passed up for stuff when it has nothing to do with color. Why is it a black man can call you a white boy, but when you say something about them being black they call you racist. I love that article you posted John. It gives only his side of the story. The author doesn't do shit to post anything from the otherside. For all we know he could be the one making the racist statments. But even though this shit still happens everyday, you have to feel bad for people who actually get stuck in that kind of position that don't deserve it.

dragknee66 Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I think anyone hired as a full time officer needs to be happy they are just that, and not bitch about wanting more, thats what pisses me off the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Racial discrimination exists, unfortunately. Affirmative action isn't the right way to compensate for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 You know, affirmative action may not be the right way to compensate for it, but it sure does get peoples attention.. true the typically its the not the attention you want.

Orion Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 nothing has done more damage to race relations in the last decade than affirmative action. it was necassary back in the day, but its usefulness has ended, and now its being exploited. it needs to go away.
