Someone should explain the "white privilege" issue to white men I know who were overlooked for police academy spots because they were granted to black men scoring 10-12 points less on entrance exams to account for race-norming or whatever the buzzword of the day was back then...

When I briefly considered joining the Los Angeles Police Department circa 1992, a white male had to have a score of 110% on the written exam.

10% for being a veteran of the 1991 Gulf War....if you were a white male, you HAD to be a veteran of that war, which I was not.....and you had to have a score of 100% on the written test.

Black males, black females, Mexican males, Mexican females, Asians, etc., they could have much lower test scores and didn’t have to be a veteran of the Gulf War.

Also, the LAPD used to have recruiting ads in the classified section of the Los Angeles Times. These display ads showed pictures of patrol officers in uniform....a black male, a blonde white female, a Mexican-American male, an Asian male, a Mexican-American female, but NEVER a white male.

I didn’t even bother to apply; I could see the writing on the wall.

White privilege my a$$.

Police Academy? Try Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Med School, Government... Frankly the best thing you can do is be black, and everyone knows it.
