Mr. Fogg contends that "internal bias leads to external bias through the war on drugs, racial profiling, supposedly justifiable homocides, police brutality, the death penalty, and prison networks."
Today, Mr. Fogg is an International EEO/Diversity Consultant; co-chairman of the No FEAR Coalition which monitors implementation of the Notification of Federal Employees Anti-Discrimination and Retaliation (No FEAR) Act of 2002 in the federal sector; Executive Director of CARCLE (Congress Against Racism and Corruption in Law Enforcement); EEO Director for Federally Employed Women’s Legal & Education Fund; Executive Director of RAMEA (Redstone Area Minority Employees Association); a member of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives; and recently served as National 1st Vice President with Blacks In Government (BIG) as well as on the Board of Directors for Amnesty International USA.
