Comments We Like - Lorrie Goldstein

This is no excuse, but I've been extremley busy lately and haven't had the chance to write much, but that's not to say a lot hasn't caught my attention or pissed me off.

On Saturday for example, the Toronto Star highlighted this article about systemic racism within the Toronto Police Force. A desctructive pointless piece that serves to incite many, but help none. Typical of the Star.

I was so pissed off, I had trouble coming up with the appropriate words in the short amount of time I had. I prefer to measure my words in such a case because of all the hypocrites out there ready to pounce and scream racism at every opportunity no matter how slim.

I've been sitting on this story for a couple of days with every intention to write about it, and then take the usual flack from the usual group about being an intolerant grumpy old man.

Then I read Lorrie Goldstien, and he pretty well says everything I feel.

Toronto Star has lots of race advice for police -- all useless

I sent an email in complaining of exactly what lorrie says..to the star. Keep in mind i subscribe to the paper as i overall enjoy various sections..i subscripe daily...but...do i enjoy the liberal slant? no..would i enjoy a conservative slant..since i lean that way? nope to that either..what happened to impartial bias that they taught me during grade six school newspaper writing...?

I read that article and thought hmm? an area of poverty and violence with 99.999% visible black people involved in crime and living in those areas...and police stop visible black people to try and solve and prevent crime..duh?
What a silly and stupid waste of several large pages of the paper...its like pointing out the obvious of the obvious.

They have to believe that they find racism in every pocket of our society, look at the crap that came out of Ryerson this week,talk about having to dig deep to even find a smidgen of intolerance. Ryerson couldn't be farther from the truth, highly diversified student body, it's the usual NDPers at the public trough pulling for these things, to get their own a little academic work to put on their CV. Now maybe if it was one of the mostly white private schools being accused then maybe they might have a hint of legitimacy, but just a hint.

Maybe the geniuses at the Star didn't read their own year-end rundown of Toronto's 2009 murder victims, photos included. At least 90% were young, black males. No doubt, they were all just starting to turn their lives around, too.
Whether it's gangs or terrorism, we need more profiling, not less.
