Racism in Newburgh - Police Chief Opposed Because He is White

[kev74]

Imagine the hilarity if the races were reversed.

“We didn’t want this cop, we didn’t want this police chief here in the first place,” Shakur told Mid-Hudson News. “Nu-voters Movement and the NAACP, we both sent letters to our city council and to the city manager, saying we didn’t want… not that we didn’t want him, but we wanted a person of color that reflects the diversity of the city. Basically, they forced this chief on us and look what happened.”

NEWBURGH – City Councilman Omari Shakur, a frequent critic of the Newburgh Police Department, is glad to see Chief Arnold Amthor retiring after a six-month stint in the embattled city.

Get over it... 60%+ of the U.S. population is WHITE!

And no matter how hard you may try, that's not changing any time soon!

Are you sure about that? See what’s happening on he southern boarder? Rules changing and the majority of these people will be able to stay? Where will they live? Not sure but you had better believe your taxes will be increased to support them.

All I can say is some one I’m very close to their job has a minority hiring initiative and they are on board with it. We’ve discussed this extensively and how it’s BS but they believe in it.
The result is they were nearly passed over for a promotion for a clearly less qualified candidate because the other candidate was black. This aggravated them but they still support the initiative. I shook my head and said seriously.
Now they are in charge and planned to hire people. So they pooled candidates and they actively recruited black people from past contacts at college. Now these are people that have obtained their PhD’s. Clearly smart people. This person reached out to these people and wanted to hire one part-time white person that already worked there. They said I’m not allowed to reach out to them as per job rules. I said but you did for the minority candidates so that’s racism. I said there are ways to to reach out without violating the rules and they did. I said just do it passively.

The result is that all the minority candidates failed to perform the basic on boarding process and training required to do the job. One of the three might make it through and that is to be seen. Accepted the work and waited until the Barry last day to do anything and barely squeaked by. The other candidates they extended the process to allow them to do the required steps and asked me should I extend it again? I said he’ll no especially if you wouldn’t do it for other white candidates.

This place and everyone involved are now actively recruiting minorities over whites. A minority recently went through the interview process and the boss of the person I know couldn’t understand this minority because they are from another country. The boss literally said I know I have to let go of my prejudices. I said how is not understanding a persons words because of an accent racism?
