The Race Card

The Race Card

Today's
Social climate
is Ugly

Generations
of Racism
Has Left
A Youth
To claim
Bigotry
Even 
When there
is no merit

While
it is true
that
Racism
still
exist
and 
should 
never  be 
ignored,
This
does not
mean
that just
because
someone
thinks
different
than you
or
an Authority
requires
you to 
follow
policy,
that it is
then
acceptable
to use
the race
card

Today a 
Formal
Complaint
was given
with the
accusation
of Racial
Profiling

384 people
passed through
a secured
area
and all 
384 people
were required
to present
a state issued ID ( this was verified by video coverage)
Not one passed through
without providing
this Information
Yet One person
filed a complaint
that  he was
being ID
because 
of his ethnicity

Audio
was also
provided
in which
all that
could
be heard
was
a polite
professional 
request
from the 
Officer
for the
person
to provide
an ID

 I
took offense
to this
As I
believe
in being

Firm, Fair, and Consistent

During the course
of the
Investigation
It was discovered
that the person
complaining
knew that
everyone
was being
ID
Without exception
and regardles
of Race
gender
or age ( the 384 people were diverse in age, race and gender)
but this
was
irrelevant 
as 
the Complainant 
demanded
that the 
Officer
lose his
Job

How crazy
is this?
Justice
cannot
occur
from 
creating
injustice
Nor
does
Honesty
bloom
from
a dishonest
Agenda

Entitlement
comes
in different
forms
and Often
Spawns
from
the Encouragement
Of a
Politically
Motivated 
Media

Integrity
must
be
the root
that
anchors
our values
as without
it
We will
be another

Hello Greg...

The numbers of white people are going down, wait and watch when they start crying...

They're learning what works...

They want to own a County too...

They enjoy it when the system screws up but, they don't go for the little stuff...

They don't waste their time especially when they just do what is required...

It's all good my friend!

Actually, it's quite hysterical to watch...

When it comes to the welfare system the whites don't receive as much...

Just a little tip...

?

Great write!

Injustices are everywhere...

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

What bothers me is when people unfairly accuse others as it is a way to get what they want or to break policy.  I do believe peole have been unfairly treated because of race or gender.  When this happens it should not be ignored.  However somehow we need to change the mentality that it is acceptable to use the Race Card without having proof to make the accusation.  In this scenario the person that accused the other, actually knew he was not being single out because of his race, but wanted to make the accusation anyway.  This is not right.  I speak out when things are wrong.  Even when it is unpolitically correct to do so.

Thanks for the Feedback.  I agree you should be able to dislike a government without the fear of being accused of disliking a people. There is a difference. I love people from all ethnicity. For people are people.  This poem is to make people aware that yes we should fight racism but we should not accuse people of racism  on every situation we like unless there is merit to it.
