If there is a Black police federation what would happen if they started a White one?

Answer 1

no hes got a good point. theres a BPA (associaton not federation) but if there was a white one people would go mental.
im a BPA membr, and i know that white people cant be a full voting member.

stupid innit, but i suppose the answer is that minorities need more support than majorities because the majority support themselves.

just food for thought

Answer 2

in the UK there is only 1 police federation, but there is also a Black Police Officer Association which works with the federation

Answer 3

I do agree that on the floor of it, treating somebody in a diverse way because of the fact of their race is misguided - be it helpful or detrimental discrimination. besides the shown fact that, that's certainly documented that the police service has had no end of problems with institutional racism for the previous couple of many years so meanwhile the minorities want extra advantageous help till the steadiness is redressed. It was once a similar for women persons in the police service. My Mum grew to become into the only woman in the full South West to qualify as a policewoman the 300 and sixty 5 days she utilized as an adolescent (late 70s). whilst she accomplished her preparation she grew to become into taken care of as a minion via her male opposite numbers - with a similar disrespect she observed her very few black colleagues being taken care of.

Answer 4

Fantastic question. It highlights the hypocrisy of The Black Police Association.
If anyone started a White Police Association you would be called a racist because you are treating people differently because of their colour and excluding people due to their colour but if you are black ...................

It's about time we got real and simply treated everyone equally. There is no need for any colour based organisation.

Answer 5

In effect there already is

If your a member of the regular police federation and your neither black nor a member of the black federation.

Unintentionally by making a black federation they unwittingly started a white one also.

Answer 6

You can start any kind of association you want and call it any racial association you'd like except a White one. Nice huh?

I was President of my association and tried to join every other association the dept had but was forbidden from joining the Hispanic one. I thought of suing but was called a racist. How does that figure?

Answer 7

I have often wondered that. At one time, the Black Policce Federation may have had a decent role to play, but in these days of political correctness gone mad, It surely is the very mirror of the racism it was created to counter.

This race based federation should be abolished.

Answer 8

it would be immediately censured on the grounds that the Police force prohibits exclusive membership clubs, associations and organisations (except the black police association and the gay police association) this was one of the reasons the christian police association was dissolved. PC PC's have gone mad!!!

Answer 9

Every minority group would throw a fit. That is like the Afican American College Fund. Do you think that if there was a Poor White College fund it would be accepted? If a person who is from South Afica came this country and had skin white in color , they would not be classified as an Afican American. Afica is a continent , not a color. I am not a racist person , but I could go on and on.

Answer 10

I know that there are several of both and have never heard of any problems. I have heard of African American, Hispanic, Italian American and Irish American associations. There might be more (I'm sure there are), those are just the ones that I have personally seen. But correct me if I am wrong but aren't Italians and Irish white?
