..and black people? A sea of white faces.
Stone County, Arkansas has fewer than 13,000 people living in, and 97% of them are white. 1.3% are Latino/Hispanic. 1.6% are mixed. And, 0.1% are black. That's about 12 or 13 total black people in the entire county - I guess we should expect half of them to be cops.
What's the police force like in Caredigion County, Wales? In line with the demographics there, would you say? How about Aberdeenshire in Scotland? How many coppers there are black or brown? You've got 1/2 a million people in Cornwall, 99% of them are white. How brown is their police force? Rutland County?
Might see a sea of white faces there.
There in Stone County, it's a rural farming community of 12,500 people in the middle of the Ozarks which happens to be 97% white in a country that is still 77% white overall.
Here is what it looks like:
No black people to be found! Good fly fishing, though.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
