Shreveport, LA, October 30, 2013 - Viewers of CBS' reality show, Undercover Boss know that CEOs and company owners learn valuable information when working undercover within the ranks of their business. By the same token, spend 24 hours with veteran homicide detective, Rodney Demery and chances are the gut-wrenching scenes will haunt you forever. Frustrated at the lack of action by our nation's leadership to keep our communities safe, Demery sites real-actionable solutions in his book, No Place For Race: Why We Need to Address Economic and Social Factors That Are Crushing Us Every Day.
Demery believes that we need to stop sensationalizing racial division in the media and get to the root of the problem. He challenges our leadership to take responsibility and to stop the racial rhetoric - which only promotes fear. The truth is that racial profiling is an irrational assumption when the police policymakers and management are increasingly black. He further confirms that, "The most likely threat to a black man is another black man; not a white man as the media and black leaders would often have you believe."Videos
