Racism within LCFC Fans

[1964FOX]

The problem with having an association of black police officers is that it segregates 'them' further. I know im not the only person that gets wound up at this equality issue. Purely because equality in britain basically means making sure we do not upset any race or religion at the detriment of white english or british.

There may be a root cause regarding black managers, but in other jobs in the country, its pretty much expected that firms are looking to employ more minorities. I haven't a problem with that but only if theyre the best person for the job.

I wanted to join the police force a couple of years ago, and after speaking to a family friend who is in leicestershires force, he told me that unless you are either female, or black or of another race/religion, I havent really got a chance. He wasnt being racist saying that, I know hes not racist, but how is that fair, to anyone? I wouldve been a good copper im sure, but maybe some of those who did get in ahead of me would feel pretty peeved off if they were told they got the job,not because they were good, but because they were non white?

Your friend gave you poor advice, the vast majority of police recruits are still White British so your chances of getting in were not reduced by other ethnic minorities applying against you. Yes ethic minorities are encouraged to join because they are still reluctant to do so as historically they have suffered racist abuse from the police. I am proud to say that our police force one embraces diversity in all it's forms and their is no racism to be found. Some of my friends who are members of the association of black police officers joined when things were different and this group provided support and was one of the catalysts to change things to how they are now.

I am pleased to see that one of the posts on here says it has been officially reported I'm glad.

Finally to those who think a little bit of racist banter is fine consider this, your in the minority now, people will challenge you for your views and the way you are. Perhaps you might even begin to feel oppressed but remember it will only be a tiny fraction of the feeling compared to someone who has been racially abused.
