Black Police Leaders Are 'Racist'

A Tory MP has provoked fury by accusing Britain's black police leaders of being racist.

David Davies said black police representatives in London had behaved worse than the apartheid regime in South Africa by urging ethnic minorities not to join the Metropolitan Police force.

Correct!

In a speech to the National Black Police Association annual conference, he also slammed the organisation for not allowing white people interested in fighting racism to become full members.

Good!

His comments sparked an angry reaction from delegates. Up to a dozen walked out in protest and others slow-handclapped the MP for Monmouth, who was likened to a BNP extremist.

Ah yes - the easily offended brigade walks out rather than addresses the serious issues that David Davies sought to stick under their easily-offended noses.

The trouble is if a member of the Black Police Federation was addressing the Tory party and calling them racists then you angry Harry would be saying just the opposite. You would be applauding those who walked out and the slow hand clapper as heroes.

There is a steak of bigotry in your thinking which is quite ugly.

The task for the mens movement is to find a way to reconcile all officers with a sense of gender and professional solidarity amongst themselves irrespective of their different backgrounds. Because the authority of policemanship in both is however being used to perpetuate a version of the very divisions amongst men seen in wider society.

Why should there ever be an assossiation of officers based on anything beyond policemanship? White male police officers have no really different interests from black male police officers. Just as white males should have no real different intrests to black males. Not in a one nation society of equals.

No. The causes of their divisions and of racial questions arising between them is created in the nature of divisive politics underpinning the State and society. Specifically, women are allowed and even encouraged to operate under a separate but equal society of their own, no questions asked. And this sort of legalised apartheid and thinking inevitabbly spills over into other areas of society. Only one other of which is the police service!

We see this apartheid type thinking also in family policy, train carriage segregation, night-club admissions, sports & recreational facility admissions, the teaching and caring professions. etcetera, etcetera. Male polititians should also get up and condemn these too !
