Moose was and is a racist, against whites. If he was a white man who had done that kind of crap against blacks, he wouldn't even have a job any longer.

The tragedy about this kind of politically correct Democratic/socialist/leftist policy is that it invariably hurts minorities more than it helps.

Here in Baltimore, a white police chief was forced to retire when black activists insisted on it. His crime? Two black women were raped, they reported their assailant was black, and the chief issued a directive to his men to be aware of any suspicious black men at a particular bus stop. Outrage ensued and the police chief forced out and the police forced to look at possible perps who didn't even fit the description. Result? The rapist was never caught. But the black Democratic activists had their victory, for what its worth.

I remember that story from Baltimore.

When I was a Basic Training Company Commander at Fort Knox, KY, we had a rash of muggings between the EM Club and the barracks area on four of five successive weekends. A CID agent briefed all the CO's in the area because all of the victims had identified their attackers as being black. Since this was an ongoing situation I had the 1Sgt put the info out in formation.

Later that day a couple of black soldiers got permission to come to see me. Their concern was that all of the white trainees would be writing letters to their families telling them that black soldiers were mugging white soldiers. I told them that it was an identifying feature to be black and asked for their next question. There were none.
