Racism

Accusations of racism are still rearing their ugly head in Kansas. Officials in Nickerson KS are being accused of dismissing a newly hired police officer because of race. The public statement is that the council wanted to be more involved in the hiring of police officers.
Sounds nobel on the face. I have my doubts. In a town that size, the chief should be entrusted with picking, in this case, her own officers. April did that. She happened to select a guy with darker skin. If the council has issues with his performance, let them speak up.
On an individual basis, I could care less about racism. When it is governments doing it, that is another matter. Individuals should have the right to discriminate, Governments not so.
Our presidope has set race back thirty years with his poor performance. Its going to be harder in years to come for blacks as America reels from the damage done by our afirmative action occupant of hte White House.
If the council is found to be right, and it is not about race but performance, then IMHO the NAACP should be made to pay 100% of the costs the city will incur over this.
