White Cop Facing Racism?

>> A MICHIGAN COP IS SUING THE CITY FOR DISCRIMINATION AFTER
HE, A WHITE COP, TOOK A DNA TEST AND FOUND THAT HE IS
ACTUALLY 18% BLACK.
LET ME GIVE YOU THE DETAILS.
SO HE TELLS
THIS TO HIS COLLEAGUES, THEN THEY START CONSTANTLY POKING FUN
AT HIM.
TO THE POINT WHERE HE IS NOW GOING TO FILE A LAWSUIT.
THEY START CALLING HIM AFTER A CHARACTER IN THE NOVEL ROOTS.
THEY HAVE ONE CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT REFERENCING HIM.
>>HIS NAME IS CLEON BROWN AND HE DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS BLACK?
>> I KNOW RIGHT.
IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE ALL OF A
SUDDEN THE SHE WAS ON THE OTHER FOOT.
IT'S INTERESTING THAT HE
GETS MADE FUN OF AND HE IMMEDIATELY SUES FOR
DISCRIMINATION.
I WONDER WHAT HIS REACTION WOULD BE IF THERE
WAS A VISIBLY BLACK POLICE OFFICER WHO WOULD SEE FOR THE
SAME REASON.
I DON'T KNOW CLEON, MAYBE HE WOULD.
NONETHELESS THE
TREATMENT HE IS DEALING WITH IS INEXCUSABLE AND I'M GLAD HE IS
STANDING UP FOR HIMSELF.
>> THIS WHOLE GENETIC COMPOSITION THING IS TRIPPY.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE AN IDENTITY?
FOR EXAMPLE A FRIEND
OF MINE WHO WAS BLACK FOUND OUT RECENTLY THAT PART OF HIS FAMILY
IS SPANISH.
DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL MORE SPANISH?
NO, HE GREW
UP IN A CULTURE THAT WAS ALREADY VERY SPECIFIC TO THAT.
IT'S
REALLY THE CULTURE YOU GROW UP IN.
BUT IT IS STILL A MIND TRIP.
THERE IS AN EIGHTH OF MY FAMILY OF WE ARE NOT SURE IF THEY ARE
KURDISH OR ARE CRUSADERS.
IS HE GOING TO MAKE ME GO LIKE OH MY
GOD I NOW TOTALLY APPRECIATE CRUSADERS?
NO UNLIKELY.
BUT YOU
DON'T KNOW WHAT IS IN YOUR DNA, SO MAYBE YOU SHOULD BE
OPEN-MINDED TO EVERYBODY ALREADY.
I KNOW THAT IS A
RADICAL IDEA.
>> I GET THAT HUMAN NATURE IS TRY BALLISTIC, MAYBE THERE IS AN
EVOLUTIONARY ADVANTAGE TO THAT, BUT WE ARE NOW SUPPOSED TO BE
CIVILIZED HUMAN BEINGS WHO SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT OVERALL
WE ARE THE SAME REGARDLESS OF OUR LOOKS.
IT IS TRUE.
WE ARE
ALL MIXING.
WE ALL MIXED IN THE PAST, WE ALL MIXED NOW, IT'S A
LOT OF FUN.
EVERYBODY OPEN YOUR MINDS AND ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN AND
ENJOY IT.
>>SOME THINGS HAVE ALREADY BEEN OPENED, THAT IS WHY WE MIX
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
ON THE DISCRIMINATION PARK, IF THEY ARE
ALL FRIENDS AND THEY LET IT GO, OKAY.
BUT OBVIOUSLY HE DIDN'T
FIND IT FRIENDLY OR APPRECIATED.
IT'S AMAZING THAT WHEN THEY
THOUGHT HE WAS WAY, EVERYONE IS COOL.
IF HE HADN'T SUED YOU
WOULD THINK WHO CARES.
BUT APPARENTLY IT IS SERIOUS AND GOT
TO THE POINT WHERE WE HE HAD TO FILE SUIT TO GET THINGS DONE.
>>HIS WAS THE ONLY BLACK SANTA ORNAMENT.
THESE ARE COPS, THEY ARE CHILDREN.
>> IF THEY THINK THAT IS HOW THEY VIEW ONE OF THEIR
COLLEAGUES, HOW DO THEY VIEW THE FOLKS THEY ARE POLICING?
THAT IS
THE CAUSE FOR CONCERN.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO DO?
MAKE EVERY OTHER COP THERE TAKE A DNA TEST.
MAYBE THAT IS HOW WE
SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF DISCRIMINATION IN THIS COUNTRY?
WE MAY CALL THE COPS TAKE DNA TESTS, AND WE ALL TAKE THE DNA
TEST.
IN AMERICA, UNLESS YOU ARE A RECENT IMMIGRANT, THERE IS A
LOT OF MIXING.
DON'T MAKE ME GET INTO A DOWNER STORY ON WHY.
THERE WAS A MIXING THAT HAPPENED EARLY THAT WAS NOT GOOD.
THAT IS
IN A LOT OF THE DNA IN THIS COUNTRY.
REMEMBER THE STORY WE
DID ABOUT THE RACIST GUY, THE KKK GUY, AND ON TV THEY DID ONE
OF THE DNA TESTS AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT HE WAS PART BLACK AND
HE FREAKED OUT?
I GOT NEWS FOR YOU, A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE
COUNTRY ARE PARTLY BLACK OR
WHITE.
GET OVER IT.
