Dante de Blasio, the son of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio wrote an article about when his father told him how to interact with the police. Bill de Blasio should be commended on teaching his son how to act when dealing with the police; act like a gentleman. But we know why Bill gave the talk. Not because of people like Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, or Freddie Gray, but because Bill de Blasio hates the police.
Also, Dante probably is not the one to write such an article. I have nothing against the kid, but he did grow up in Park Slope, not exactly the neighborhood that Walter Yurkiw patrolled, and none of us could afford, attended Brooklyn Tech High School, not exactly a typical inner city high school. When his father became mayor, he got to live in Gracie Mansion, and provided round the clock security from the NYPD. Then he attends one of the most elite universities in the US; Yale.
de Blasio wrote about being in San Francisco and having a hard time using a key pad to get into a friends apartment building at 1 am! The police rolled up in a car. Dante punched in the right code and entered the building. The cops didn’t get out of the car, or even made contact.
Listen, Dante doesn’t know what he is talking about. He’s lived a life most people can only dream of. But, he doesn’t know what’s it like to be discriminated against because of your race, color, or gender. He hasn’t experienced threats of losing his job because of fake accusations of racism. He hasn’t be called every name in the book including the “N-word.” I have. And to me, its just the way life is; tough and unfair.
Also, Dante de Blasio hasn’t been in a roll call in a police station where the BOLO (Be on the Lookout) is 99% of the time a person of color. Or the race of a suspect of a crime is black. Dante hasn’t been to a local jail where the local population is 50% black, but the jail population is 90% black. Dante hasn’t seen black fatherlessness, dependence on government, nor the failure of public schools. Dante got a visit from dad when he was visiting Germany during the summer break. Dad went to Germany to trash Trump and the US. The visit took place while Police Officer Miosotis Familia was laying in a morgue after she was shot and killed.
USA Today could have picked a million other people about “The Talk” but they too are fake news and who else to talk about racial profiling than a 21 year old man who graduated the School of Hard Knocks called Yale University.
