A few shorts years ago, there was municipality outside Chicago where 80% of the residents are African-American and yet they had an all-white police force. Is this okay with you...do you even care...or is your biggest worry that I'm whining too loudly?

Do you know which city/village/whatever?
Either way the 80% pop/white police is fine with me. Why? Because the population is obviously in the majority! IF they don't like the white police force, they can change it.
Overall, I agree that it would be great if race, religion, or whatever didn't affect people the way it does, but it does.
We just have to keep working toward a better world.
Also just because you're offended by something does not mean the world automatically has to change to accomedate you. You are definately welcome to convince people to change, but don't be surprised if you don't always get your way.
