Report in the Daily Post has the Deputy Chief Constable of N. Wales doing a rap at the launch of the N. Wales branch of the Black Police Officers Association.

Can anyone tell us why it not considered racist to have a Black Police Association and what do folks think would happen if someone tried to launch a White Police Officers Association.

I believe police should be colour blind.

It's also interesting to note that N. Wales can hardly be considered a hot-bed of multiculturalism.

The county council has just revealed that in Flintshire, the ethnic population is 0.8% and the largest group is Chinese. I have never heard of the Chinese folk up here making a fuss about race issues. So why do others?

If anyone can tell me how to get a copy of the rap onto this site I will do so. I have scanned it but don't know how to transfer it to here.

Hell, the more I think of this......

Someone's going to decide this is great for race relations and make it compulsory for the Chief Constable selection process.

This could snowball......Brunstrom in a burka, anyone?

Check your e-mails young man.

De rap am awaitin' with baited breath,
I only hope it makes you laff.
When you read it I fink you'll say
" Wot's goin' on down North Wales way?
Don't they know PC is a tool of communism
Those that push it could catch botulism"

( Well, it's close )

Very good point. In my (personal) view there is no place for a black police officers association, as there is no place for a white police officers association. It goes against every bit of racial awareness training we are given.
After all, isn't that pure racism.
"No, you can't join our group, you are white"
Makes me

Oh, my god......as the greenhouse industry says, worse than previously thought

Did Brunstrom pass that?

Or did he write it?

Nah...no sense of humour. Maybe he put it out to tender....could explain his hike in Council tax grab this year?

You'll have to stop this, Tafia, did some serious damage when I fell off my chair..........

Also isn't a bit of a stereo type/racists thing rapping at the Black Police Assoc. Maybe at the Welsh Police officer Assoc. Brunsc*nt will do a Choir tune !!! or in Yorkshire play the tuba. How the does an idiot like him get so far up in the police force?

Yes, r e a l l y patronising.

Just a couple of verses before it gets upoaded here (hopefully by egomeister).

The Beeb man stuffed us with the Secret Policeman
It's no good moanin' 'cos he found the Ku Klux Klan
Job ain't what it used to be;
it's full of blacks and gays;
It was just us white homies in the really good old days

So what we botherin' with this stinkin' institution
No love, no heart, no sense, no proper constitution.
No-one loves the coppers 'cos we're rotten to the core
Cross between the devil and a governmental whore"

Enough already.

Is there a case for disciplinary proceedings here. He is not very positive about HM Police is he?

Let's face it, the guy looks deeply embarrassed. I bet he's just following orders from his "superior".

I feel embarassed just reading this thread.

What on earth does this prick think he is on, rapping.

How patronising and stereotyping and more importantly, how cretinous is that?

As for having a Black Police Association, so what?
Minority groups, whether based on race, religion or interest will naturally form associations.
There are I believe many Police associations not related to race or religon at all.

The concern is that if anyone tried to form a White Police Officers Association, it may not be allowed and could even lead to charges of racism.

I think there is a bit of over sensitivity here.

The reason minorities of race, religion or interest form groups outside the majority is to associate with people that share that particular common trait and not necessarily to segregate from the majority.

A sports club, or club/group of any sort comes into this category.

When the majority form a majority only group it is typically to segregate from the minorities, which is a completely different motive from that of the minority groups.

How many non-football-supporters clubs are there that regularly meet every Saturday to get together NOT to watch the football etc etc in reaction to all the football supporters clubs out there?

How many non-religous-believers 'churches' for want of a better description, are there out there?

The idea of setting up a White Police Association does appear to simply be a petty reaction to the setting up of a Black Police Association which does suggest a racial-influenced motive.
