[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=Blogstar] More black cops would lead to a tendency for corruption or lower desire to actually fight crime. Not because black people are inherently corrupt, but because that is the way the stimulus and pressure would guide them. The problem is how the people function much much more than how the police function. The situation is that overwhelming.

You’ve suggested that blacks should not get proportional representation in law enforcement and perhaps in government generally.
Similar argument was made about South Africa – law and order would go to shit, and the economy would crash. The country is doing better than ever.[/quote]
That quote is a statement of opinion about what happens, not that I support apartheid. It goes with the argument I was making that some areas can’t be policed by anyone of any race. Show me where I suggested exclusion of blacks from any police force? I said where representation of blacks has occurred results are not good using crime statistics as the measure, I cited New Orleans. Other than that I have said more or less equal representation does seem desirable, I think I said that on this thread.
In SA that situation needed to change and I was always for it.
SA, the country is not doing better than ever but it is doing o.k,
Last I checked unemployment was very high, like 25%, and there was a brain drain going on. Aids is terrible in the black population not much at all in the white. The brain drain may have settled down or reversed. The brain drain was not only whites but also other ethnic groups. I hope South Africa does well but it is too soon to say.
