He said,"I don't know how you people define beauty in a woman." The author, who defines attractiveness as a shapely, sexy woman regardless of colour is dumbfounded that the older officer thought he had no sense of value in terms of a woman's physical attractiveness that was equal to his as a white man.
The white officer said he could not relate to Lola Falana as a "beautiful" woman, because he did not know what constituted beauty in a "colored" woman. The author then mentions Lola Falana who was a popular Las Vegas entertainer. He and a white policeman friend are talking about their ideal date, both of them talking of white women they found attractive.
Officer Stallworth is talking about his 19 year old policeman self and the sometimes unconscious racism from the other policemen. Notes on reading And now for something completely different. Stallworth had a White officer working for him and he had to be aware of all conversations (which were taped) and every interaction, because the few that were real life were handled by the White officer. Stallworth enjoying this, decided to pronounce certain words in a "Black" way as his contact at the KKK was convinced he was White. Stallworth ran everything from the phone where the KKK were convinced that all Blacks gave their ignorant selves away by the way they spoke.
How the Black policeman became a member of the KKK was quite clever. Duke tried to wrestle it from him, whereupon Stallworth told him that would be an assault on a police officer and in that state, 5 years minimum. What would this do to Duke's White supremacist image with his neo-nazi type fans, followers, future voters and fellow Klan members!ĭuke not only freaked he tried to grab the camera but Stallworth got it first. Duke and Stallworth looking like buddies smiling. 2 to take a pic on the count of three, one, two, arm around Duke again, three, pic taken. Stallworth asked Duke if he could have a picture taken with him and Duke was ok with that, so Stallworth put an arm around him and Duke freaked and Stallworth was very apologetic. The best part of the book, the pee your pants, snork your coffee, kick your legs up laughing part of the book was when David Duke came to town and despite protestations to the higher ups, Stallworth (our hero, the black cop) was detailed to protect him.
