Is the drug taskforce racist?
965260
actually yes I know some are.\n\nI interviewed with a drug task force some years ago, when I was in law enforcement,  I was not given the job because I was not black,  they wanted someone to work in the projects.\n\nI tried to explain that many drug dealers, often larger ones were white and not in the projects.  They did not care, they wanted to make alot of little arrests for the news.

I think there are a lot of reasons why the behavior is so pervasive. It is wrong and does nothing but perpetuate hatred and anger between the races. Their culture has to recognize that prejudice is wrong no matter who is at the receiving end of the discrimination or name calling, and just because one has been oppressed or is even currently being oppressed, retaliating with the same behavior is no answer. Does anyone remember Dr. King calling anyone a name? Ghandi?

if your society systematically puts down or punishes a specific group of people on a racial basis then there is no difference between the two, because that kind of discrimination (jobs, schools, neighbourhoods) will lead to an increase in criminal behaviour....simply because there are fewer and fewer alternatives, if any, available.\n\nif white anglo-saxon protestants were systematically beaten down for generations, then they'd pretty much match the criminal profile.

If they are under a package then they can restrict based on the package regardless of the race makeup.  It would only be illegal if they restricted the housing based on race and in this case that does not appear to be the case.  All members of the group are restricted therefore since it is applied across the board it would be hard/impossible to prove it was done on the basis of race and not the "package".  \n\nOnce must remember that in order for it to be racist the decison must have been made based on race.  While obviously there is a number of the same race under the package deal as long as it is applied to all who are part of the package then it is obviously not based on race.\n\nTo the two poster above, you are correct racist is illegal, BUT in this case the poster has described the discrimination is based on the package deal selected, NOT race.

They call the BNP racist because they defend the native inhabitants.  those against the BNP are racist against the english, scottish, irish and welsh and if they had there way they would dump them in concentration camps and change the name from great britain to slum new afriasiastan

Your client? Give me a break man...you are some crack pot conspiracy theorist...first there is no consistent question within your rant of improperly formed English (incomplete) sentences. Second, the racism charges in your "question" make it highly suspect. \n\nHonestly, I am glad that your "client" is not allowed in the US, because if he "hired" you, he should not be here.

Dude don't get me started again - I;ve only just recovered from my rant the other day !\n\nI quote "Great Britain is no longer a GREAT country, We cannot say anything without being called RACIST!!!!!!!!"\n\nThat's why - every time we do stand up for our selves (the select few with the balls - hats off Mr. N Griffin) we get branded racist biggots.\n\nWe try and try and try but it on;y ever gets covered in the media as a race hate crime !\n\nRead the Turner Diarys !\n\nIt is all going to kick off here sometime in the not too distant future you mark my words.\n\nPreston - Oldham - Bradford - Leeds - Burnley -- this was only the start of things to come back in 2001.\n\nIt will kick off - people will turn around and say " FCUK IT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"\n\nThe BNP are winning more and more seats every year because they are the only party that will stand for traditional BRITISH values !

No, and ill tell you why. Long ago when drugs were actually legal and many of our forefathers used them everyone started using them. This was the time when slavery had just been abolished. They started outlawing drugs using the excuse that black men were using drugs and raping all the white women. I think that they still use stupid excuses these days, like it supports terrorism, etc. Give me a break. sorry, sometimes the things in politics really confuse me.

Why don't you say what you mean and use the word white rather than hiding behind a euphemism - or is the right wing in the UK becoming politically correct?\n\nI'm assuming you do mean white and not indigenous, the two words not being necessarily synonymous. Do you really think that the political leaders of any party, including the BNP, really care about the colour of a person's skin, their ethnic origin or religion. What they do care about is obtaining and retaining power. To that end they will use any ploy - including racial and immigration issues.\n\nNone of them really care about the ordinary people of the UK - to them and the people they really serve we are cheap labour, a commodity to be exploited, no matter what our origins.

It is not a race issue it's a responsiblity one.  People who are responsible don't have time to screw up.  They're busy going to work to pay the bills & pay taxes.  Just so some lazy *** can collect food stamps & welfare & sell drugs & do whatever they want.  Then when they're caught robbing or whatever they're the first to scream about race.  I'm sick of anyone saying it's a race issue.  No one "owes" anybody anything.  You have to earn your spot in life, what spot you choose is up to you entirely.  Life is nothing but a choice.\n\nI guess I choose to be responsible because I like freedom.  I guess I'm the slave to the system to pay taxes to support the criminals.

A very good question.  \n\n1. The inherently racist laws since the founding of this country.\n2. Ridiculous punishments for using/selling illegal drugs.  If you research why most drugs because illegal in the first place it was because of racism.  \n3. Because of the large number of impoverished black communities the options for young minority men are limited.\n4. Something must be said for the glamourized thug representation that is the main portrait of black men in the media and the history of latino machismo that sanctions violence.  Not to say white men are so peaceful but they get away with things more since the judges and juries are usually white as well.\n\n\n" The United States is way ahead of the rest of the industrial world in imprisoning its own population. That's for population control. None of that has anything to do with crime.

But, middle- and upper-class addiction to drugs or alcohol is a disease.

Yes they are very racist.What I didn't understand is "WHY they only pointed out th blacks looting?" As if they were a bunch of hooligans that had nothing better to do during a crisis.I KNOW for a fact that they were not the only ones to to steal material Items.And besides who the hell would really care,it was a HURRICANE for christ sake, THAT BASICALLY WIPED OUT THAT WHOLE DAMN STATE..and they were concerned about people looting.To me it seemed like they just wanted a story to tell,and to stereotype blacks like they usually do!
