An associate of mine applied to be a police officer years ago.

For those that don't know, and from what I recall, there's three stages...written, phyical, interview.

The first time this associate took the test, he got to the interview stage and was admittedly weak. He felt that he didn't deserve the job after his interview.

The second time, he was dissapointed because he felt he aced the interview, but nonetheless was resigned to the fact that others may have done better than he did.

The third time he applied he was called back. He was told, "Darren, there's absolutely no reason that I can't offer you a job today. Besides the color of your skin."

True story.

I lost touch with him and don't know that he ever made it. I'd be surprised if he didn't however as that's all he ever wanted to do.

My feeling on the subject is simple.

When my house is on fire and my kids need saving, I want the BEST qualified people to do the job.

Whether that's 100% black females, 100% asian men, 50% white females and 50% black males OR, yes, god forbid 100% white males. I don't give a shit who it is, as long as the ones that come to save my kids are there because they're qualified to do so and not just a token.
