Black Police Association

[Rioja]

BF why can`t you just write your answers instead of putting all the links on.I would like to see your views not someone elses.

 

If he'd have just stated that there were a number of other separate organisations rather than just Black Police then someone would have demanded proof in the form of links.

Boyfriday - I see the list and I notice that not one of them plays the colour card. They are not restricted to Black Jews or Black Christians or Black anything. That is the whole point - they are open to any regardless of colour association. And if we have all these within the police force already then do we really need another?

 

Snailboy - I am saying that we do not need a subgroup in the police force that is apparently aimed at black officers. The BNP is not a subgroup of anything unless you want to start looking at global groups. But lets try to remain sensible - at least to a degree.

 

Why is it only colour that bothers you?

 

Why not the Gay Police Officers, or the Jewish? Especially the Jews, they're always a good target.

Reality check. Do you consider that the BNP will be able to repatriate ALL none whites from the UK - if that is indeed their agenda?

Yes it's enshrined in their constitution Section 1 (2b), they will implement legal changes to return the population of Britain to that resembling 1948 and before. Whether that aim is achievable or not is irrelevant, it says a lot about what the BNP are.

 

Question - why are so many immigrants coming over to the UK?

There are lots of reasons, but work mainly.

You assume you know what the BPA members are all about, just as I assume I know that it is another example of seperating colour. What concerns and common interests of black police officers are we talking about do you think, if not matters where the members believe they will be treated unfairly due to their race?

Like I said, Ive no idea, Im not a black police officer there may be lots of reasons why some might want to join the BPA, but Im equally sure not all do, presumably you believe they have some sinister anti establishment plot going on?

Well an association that seeks to represent the interests of a minority group because of their colour would be unlikely to call itself the British Police Crochet Association would it?

 

The problem is entirely yours because you perceive the mention of 'black' negatively, when all it is is a description of the various minority groups within the police force who aren't white.

 

As others have said why dont you have a similar problem with the other minority interest groups?

I only post links when they're relevant, Ive not often been accused of being reluctant to state my personal views on issues, and thought I had done ad nauseum on this particular thread.

Shall we start on the Catholics now? They've had their own police association since 1914, never troubled anybody, do you think they should be allowed an association?

Or the Association of Christian Police?

Would you believe it, there are many groups within the police (just as there are within any large public sector employer) offering affiliation for a wide range of interests-only haters bat an eyelid.

 

Ban them all quick! Bloody minorities! *foam slowly drips from corner of mouth*

Thanks rioja, you're quite right, if I'd just said there was an Irish officers association or a Catholic one, none of them would have believed it.

So what you are saying is the white police do not represent the views of the black policemen.Are they not all in the same institution?

 

No, I'm not saying that as I dont know what reasons exist for some black officers to want to have their own association anymore than I know why there's a need for a disabled police association.

 

The fact of the matter is membership of the BPA is not exclusive, if white officers want to join they can do, I dont know why they would, but the option is open to them.

 

Any anti white sentiment within that organisation would soon be discovered, but I doubt it exists to any degree, although Im sure there are racist black officers as there are white ones.

Yep - cos you will see that I often ask for links as proof. Oh dammit - I do not think I ever have. Perhaps I am just a gullible fool who does not need to see proof to understand that even if something does not exist then the concept of it can be treated as instructive to a debate.

...maybe you just have a persecution complex eh?
