The school district is 53% Black and too many young blacks are being moved to alternative schools. The agitators goal was to elect an all black school board last election, fortunately it didn't work and their candidates all lost.Dapandicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15759685227810921641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-24331903226953764702014-11-20T06:22:51.000-05:002014-11-20T06:22:51.000-05:00Dr. Sowell, it hasn't been that long, even for...Dr. Sowell, it hasn't been that long, even for black people. I had an old friend that was a big city cop back in the 60s. He was white, and the neighborhood he patrolled was exclusively black.<br /><br />The scenario was Momma called the police because Junior was acting up. My buddy would arrive (the black folks addressed the officers as "Mister," rather than "officer," intended as a higher honor), Momma would say, "now Mr. 'X,' he's been at it again. He's back in the bedroom."<br /><br />My buddy would go back to the bedroom and give the lad a choice: the easy way (jail), or the hard way (an @$$-whipping). The kids would always opt for "the hard way."<br /><br />It saved Momma the expense of lawyers and court costs, etc., and kept the kid from being exposed to really bad people.<br /><br />I, too, was a cop in this same big city a number of years later. Back then, that neighborhood was just a working-class, black neighborhood. Today, it is truly one of the most violent neighborhoods in the entire country.<br /><br />Did my friend, and other officers like him, keep that neighborhood from devolving to a state of civilization in name only? I'm certain that they played a part in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
