Hiring black teachers and black principals didn't increase black graduation rates.

Neither did stopping expulsions of black kids for 'acting up'.

Another liberal theory and initiative bites the dust.

Andrew Flanders • 7 years ago

That's because their starting premise is flawed. Equality is a liberal social construct.

Wait. They still having excuses. The problem will solved by hiring even more Blacks that don't fulfill white admission standards.

Also, police killing more Whites would be a step in the right direction of equality.

My friend was a cop in the late 60s. He told me that when he used to give the rioting or protesting negroes a free pass, his black partner would be so upset that he let the negroes go with a slap on the wrist. He told my friend that since he is black, he knows exactly how his own negro people are. I have seen some older negroes be more hard on the younger blacks that whites would ever be.

That was my experience in the ghetto schools. The older teachers were by far the most intimidating creatures in the building, and the kids barely made a peep in those classrooms for fear the teacher would "jack them up". One such teacher (a six-foot-two, 300-pound linebacker in heels) explained to me as we were walking down the hall one morning that since the parents were basically children themselves, it was up to the older teachers to "slap some sense" into both parent and child.

As if to make her point, she then turned to a child who was walking by just then (not so much as making eye contact at us) and shouted at him out of nowhere, "EXCUSE ME...DID YOU SPEND THE NIGHT AT MY HOUSE LAST NIGHT?"

The boy's eyes got huge, as he froze in place and stammered a terrified, "G..g...good morning, Mrs Thomas."

Satisfied, Ms Thomas smiled her most charming smile and replied, "Why, good morning to you, Renard." As he scurried away, she turned to me and said, "See? No home trainin'. We got to be the Momma AND the Daddy to these young 'uns."

(I made a mental note that day to ALWAYS greet Ms Thomas before she greeted me first.)

I was interviewed by a school that had recently gone to the blacks. Most of the whites moved out. The two Negresses that interviewed me were scary looking. one just kept staring at me and asked me questions about what i would do if someone brought a gun to class.

More Blacks are shot by police than Whites -- because Blacks don't have the intelligence to understand attacking or fighting with a police officer stopping them for cause -- could be hazardous to their health!

RJ • 7 years ago

It's called social "defiance" for white mans' law. Remember, blacks have declared war on whites many times.

fledtheundertow • 7 years ago

It's true. They were advocating that nonsense back in the late 80s when I was still teaching in the ghetto. In fact, that was also the rationale my principal used for cheating on the CRCT test (which I'm still amazed it took the public another few decades to finally catch on).

He saw the test as a way to scam more money from the government, and made veiled threats to us that we'd be out of a job if our classes "did poorly" (I.e. if we refused to cheat). The test itself was just "white man's rules" that had no real value apart from the revenue it afforded the school in entitlements.

More black cops is not the answer.

Fewer black criminals is the answer.

Lock them up, throw away the key.

TomIron361 • 7 years ago

The answer I think is to go back to punitive punishments. For example. The weather here has turned nasty. Well, 24hrs in the stocks outdoors will cure most people of whatever nasty business they're up to. For worse offenses, whipping would be in order. The punishments would increase in violence with the crimes, up to and including execution. But even executions could be made more and more painful accordingly with the fiendishness of the crime.

fledtheundertow • 7 years ago

Absolutely. My husband is fond of pointing out that violent crime would all but disappear if we went back to public hangings on the courthouse steps.

Bandmoo • 7 years ago

Keep the key, throw them away.

RJ • 7 years ago

After all, a brass key has some value.

Nothing will EVER stop black crime and dysfunction.

NOTHING.

Period.

Africa is evidence that by increasing the number of black policemen as percentage of the force, you will have less violence overall.

hondo • 7 years ago

Ever try to do any research on anything in Africa. The usual answer is - not available.

LHathaway • 7 years ago

Hiring more Black cops will lead to more citizen deaths, a greater city budget deficit, and the complete end of the world as we know it . . .

They'll be hired anyway.

Trump supports affirmative action. I'm not sure there is a difference between affirmative action and diversity. Both are defined by discrimination against white men. There's certainly hope for Trump, but they only way you will every see affirmative action end in the US will be to ask for it for yourself. It will only be after white men are denied, 'affirmative action', too, it will begin to end for everyone else. You should get off your high horse and ask for it. The sooner you ask for it . . . .

Richard Yrot • 7 years ago

I was in pouring rain one day and wanted directions to a doctors office, two black cops were in police car, I banged on the window to get their attention the two scumbags ignored me, why I was white and no one will tell me anything else, they are the most prejudiced people on earth besides the jews. I tell like it it. and it is this way.

Tim_In_California • 7 years ago

Here, on a day when we are talking about hiring more black cops to reduce black crime -- one more drop in an abysmal bucket...

...The Republicans in Congress have declared their intent to defund Planned Parenthood.

They really are the "Stupid Party" aren't they? ...Stupid, stupid, stupid!

RJ • 7 years ago

Heard Ryan yesterday confirm his continuance with the reformation of the criminal justice system, stupid, stupid, stupid Conservatives.

Northlands101 • 7 years ago

Yeah, Paul "Eddie Munster" Ryan and his typical idiot cuckservative agenda.

hondo • 7 years ago

"... urged police departments to recruit more black and Hispanic officers to combat the police violence that disproportionately impacts communities of color."
That line says it all! How about no police, then there definitely would be no more police violence.

Lichdar • 7 years ago

The logic in this is solid.

hondo • 7 years ago

This is a bad night for board discussion - too much junk out there. May switch to funny cat videos or porn to calm down and relax.

JohnEngelman • 7 years ago

Black police officers do not suffer a white liberal guilt complex. They know how dangerous black men can be, and that their lives may depend on shooting now and asking questions later.

Reverend Bacon • 7 years ago

Since it's impossible to control for all variables, here's another theory:

In jurisdictions where the police department is less than 40% black, it's more likely to be a meritocracy, where the blacks have to earn their way onto the force. Once a jurisdiction reaches the tipping point, standards go out the window, and police give up on enforcing the law.

RJ • 7 years ago

To think there could be >40% without criminal violation records would be an anomaly.

MrGJG • 7 years ago

"Only when black officers are represented in high enough numbers—more than 40 percent—are they likely to represent the interests of black citizens, the Indiana University study concluded."

Right, because white cops are just a bunch of racists who want to see blacks fail. Washington Post just can't help themselves.

Fed Up • 7 years ago

Holding Blacks to White standards is pure racism! Holding Black criminals accountable for the crimes they commit -- is also pure racism! Any questions?

Pilleater • 7 years ago

Funny! This exactly where that is coming from! Blacks shoot blacks

Riccardo Pusceddu • 7 years ago

Everything but to admit that blacks are racially more violent on average than whites.

Riccardo Pusceddu • 7 years ago

We are coming to this ridiculous outcome that the Police need to kill more whites and less blacks regardless of whether they deserve it or not, till the statistic will be in accord with the narrative that whites and blacks are equal in regards to crime.

Jack Frost • 7 years ago

One should doubt the results of their study. Eight years of a black man in the highest office did not reduce black crime or black poverty. Instead there was more black grievance, black rioting and black looting.
