Someone needs to educate Director Ivy and enlighten him to the "mere fact" that simply being black and filling the position are meaningless in the overall scheme of things. It's what you do with the position that counts. You know, as Dr. King said "judge by content of character, not color of skin". It's comments like his that keep racism alive and well. Clearly, he fell right out of the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton playbook.
Given the crime stats in Memphis, I don't think I'd be bragging about being Director of Police.....regardless of my race.....
We are having an election in Memphis soon. We could get rid of most crime by just jailing the criminals that are running for office.
