The better question would be does he have a healthy perspective of blacks. the are many blacks who consider themselves black, git think blacks are inferior too. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: evanovitch</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Toronto...so mi reading di article n seeing di picture of him extended family...the parents look ST Bess white n di wife n chile, well dem is far from blk...so mi wonda if him consider himself black, as the article cited him to be the second black weh get such a job in di police force...

The majority who actually make it to the level he does, believe that they are 'different' due to the mixture and the superior ingredients that are not black.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: RichD</div><div class="ubbcode-body">even if him never consider himself black..once him reach here him realize dat he was </div></div>

i think he sees himself as a black man. he's pretty easygoing and goes to a lot of black community events (or used to, mi no know caw miself no go to as many as before).

he's a nice guy, u know, but i never heard him speak about community issues to get a fix on what he thinks, for example, about crime in the black community, or about police relations with the black community. he was always very tall and shiny and spic and span in his uniforms, and always kind of stood amongst people with that big smile of his.

sound like mi a backhand compliment him....

he's a bit of a cipher to me.
