Nope. As soon as they do they become uncle Toms and are no longer considered "black" just like any other black person that is successful outside of being a gangster or rapper. Success or trying to move up in the world goes against the agenda and is frowned upon.

Hate to break it to you but the majority of blacks are not hood rats and could give two fricks if someone in the gutter calls us an uncle tom.

I was told there was an incident near the food mart yesterday to which four uniformed black BRPD officers responded, and they were very unwelcomed by the protestors.

The majority of Black cops don't WANT to patrol those areas, because:

A. Black cops don't want to be shot either.
B. Black cops are looked at as Uncle Toms in that community.
C. Criminals will STILL break the law.

There are many that do.

Of course this isn't going to happen, but maybe it would prevent some of this racism concern. I am not saying these actions were, just the outrage that transpires.. but ultimately we can't really do this.. we are trying to be equals and overcome this.. and it's not always going to be black or white neighborhoods.. and doing something like this would just further the racism cries when it does come to integrated situations.. it would just create more problems.

In "black" neighborhoods where this would be an idea to throw around, the majority are hood rats and would give a frick if they are called uncle toms. Like any other race though, you have a small majority that ruin the reputation for all. I do a lot of work in low income "black" neighborhoods because I do government construction and you meet a lot of good people that can't do shite because the small majority that are assholes are REALLY assholes.

Remember that during the Ferguson clown show that all the news agencies came to the same conclusion.....There weren't enough black applicants.
One reason given is the culture of "no snitching ".

I just said that this morning. Maybe they (both police and "perp") would not be as intimidated and not rush to judgment. I support the police as best I can but just too many shootings.
