You wont give Me Credit Cause I am Black. No Ass Whole, I dont give anyone Credit.
I as A Police Officer Did Deal with all Peoples and the only thing I was worried about was the breaking of The Law. I never gave a Damn What The Color Was, I did My Job. I was very Well Known in The Black Community for being Fair and This is How I Was.
I am still the same way today and Have the respect of AA.

Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to step out of your bubble. Keep your hands where I can see them and step slowwwwwwwwly out of your bubble.
We all agree that merit is great, Tommy. What you seem NOT to understand is that AmeriKKKa isn't a pure, individualistic meritocracy. If it were a pure meritocracy (with no one's ability to build social and human capital being cut down OR built up based on membership in a particular race, gender, or socioeconomic group) we wouldn't be having this discussion in the first place. No one ever said that racial and ethnic minorities should sit on their asses and collect royalty checks. Although, sitting on your ass and getting things based on privilege has worked for some members of the privileged groups for years. It's only a problem when OTHER people want group-based privilege.
Generalizations can only be made when you have valid information from which to generalize. Try reading some books and social science journals. It will add to your experiences as an officer of the law.
