Is it Racism

A Harris County Sheriff's Deputy recently formed a "Caucausian Law Enforcement Officer's Association". There is already established, an African American Law Officer's Association and a Latino Law Officer's Association. So, as whites are now in the minority, especially in local government, why not have an association to represent this new minority group. These associations are formed to supposedly help with issues facing their members in the Sheriff's Department. Now, those same associations cry Racism when an association is specifically formed to support White Officers in the same department. The demographics have changed and whites are the Minority, why shouldn't white people have the same chances at representation within their department as the blacks and hispanics? Black people claim to want equality, yet they expect special treatment and considerations. In the Houston Police Department, tests that are given for an officer to promote to a higher position, are dummied down so that the so called minorities will be able to pass the test. White Officers may score higher on the exams and be better qualified for the job, but their scores are dropped down as questions on the test that the Black officers consistently get wrong, are removed from the black officers total score. The reason given is because those black officers did not have the same priveleges growing up, therefore they have poor study habits and don't understand those particular questions. Promotions should be based on merit and performance and not color. If you want to be equal, be equal, study, work hard and earn your promotions and do not expect special treatment because of your race. Racism is on the rise in America, but it is against the whites.
