Just to be clear, Cedar Posts has never suggested that there is a "racial divide" in the department among rank and file. There is however you would like to phrase it, a definitive record of showing favoritism from the Chief towards Rank and File Officers and Command Staff of color. Promotions, discipline, assignments and the list goes on and on. In short, black officers are given a "free pass" while white officers and made to tow the line.
This is not racism in the KKK sense of the word, but simply discrimination or if you prefer the gentler term, favoritism based on color.
As far as Dr. Vivian Lord's contention that Cedar Posts is a "blog with poisonous statements" and that people who write and comment on such blogs "are not the norm" CP suggests she step out of her liberal cocoon of academia and live in the normal world for a while.
