Troubled kid grows up to become sheriff

All the obstacles were in place for Walter L. Davis III. Everyday life in the projects of East Akron, his large family left fatherless by murder, his failing personal battle to cage his youthful anger.

Yes.

You think this applies to Walter Davis? Because this article is about him, not "blacks."

[JUST SAYING]

I am sorry if I’m sounding a little bitter or cold above but the reverse racism in this country needs to stop. I am 37 years old (WM) and grew up very poor in small town Ohio and I’m one of 11 children. My mother and father divorced when I was around 6 years old and by the time I turned 13 my mother passed away leaving me to be raised between my step- father and father. Two weeks after my 18th birthday my father passed and I had just become a father for the first time. I am now married with five children and I m the Police Chief in small town Ohio along with working a few other pt jobs. I have lost out on a few good jobs because of my lack of skin color and this is wrong and affirmative action hiring should not be. All people should be treated equal and promotions and hiring should be based on skills and qualifications. The newspaper made a big deal out of this Sheriff simply because he was black. He couldn’t have been too poor as a kid because you need a degree to be the Sheriff of an Ohio county. Yes it does apply toward Walter Davis. He was a trooper and I can tell you his test for the State Patrol was not the same one I took,much easier, because he is black. THIS IS ALL TRUE

Don't use Walter Davis as a scapegoat for your own shortcomings.

Man up.

Some cracker's upset because he can't get a real job. Thinks he's better than Walter Davis because he's white.

He's wrong.

This man grew up in the projects without a father (who was murdered), became a sports champion, went to college, did 28 yrs with the Ohio State Highway Patrol, and got elected county sheriff.

You should be ashamed of yourself, you're not fit to shine Walter Davis's boots.

All's I did was say "yes." Why is everyone yelling at me? Oh Lordy, it's enough to make me swoon.

It is my right as an American to hate n**gers. There, I said it.
