Yea he kinda reminds me of Louis aka ''troublemaker'' Coleman. Man.........slavery is over get over it, let it go. Why do so many of these type's continue this cycle of hate by keeping it constantly on the front burner.
I worked here in the office with a fellow for 15 years he has since moved on to another job. He is a black man. A educated, clean cut, well spoken, considerate, Christian, caring black man. In fact I was proud to call him my friend and still stay in touch to this very day. He grew up and still lives in the same house he has fixed up on Cecil Avenue in the West End of Louisville. He has never been arrested for anything and asks nothing from society that he doesn't feel he has worked hard for at his job or civically.
What's my point you ask??? A minority of any ethnic background has endless oppurtunities in this country today. He chose a path which was layed down by his parents, his mother was a wonderful person, to be a productive citizen in society. He did not choose a life of crime and growing up feeling that everybody owed him something because he is black. He payed his own way through college, WORKING, to get his education and better his life and to take care of his mother as she fought horrible health issues the last 7 to 8 years of her life. These are the kinda of people that I admire and and consider productive citizens and I don't give a rat's butt what color they are. I personally think that alot of this racial crap is way overblown. I also think as did the man I just spoke of thought that alot of the inner city young people bring alot of their problems on themselves with the general perception they have casted upon their own kind.
Put yourself in Ryan's shoes just for a second. He is patroling his beat and there is not much going on. Throughout his years as a police officer MANY of the arrests he has made have been young black males up to no good. He see's a Hoopte coming down the street with 4 black males in it in the middle of a normal work day. Three of them are wearing Dew rags in a gang fashion, Ryan knows what I'm talking about. They are doing 5 miles over the speed limit, bid deal..........but does he check them out and run their I'D's? Would you??? Statistics say that at least one or more of those 4 in that car have a felony warrant for their arrest, check it out I guarantee it. Is that racial profling or is it Ryan doing his job correctly. For me it's him doing his job keeping the city and it's residents safe. I read something recently that said almost 60% of serious crimes are committed by young black men in this country. These are facts compiled by the criminal justice system in this country.
Just put on the Cop shoes and walk the path in your mind, and ask yourself....What would I do.
Ryan, I hope you didn't mind me using your name as a reference, of course I was just metaforically speaking and was not trying to imply anything.
