I am glad you shared that. Its a good starting point. Imagine what you experienced being magnified by 10 and for your whole life since you were a child because you couldn't cover or hide the fact you were a vet? Those promotions you missed would have not have even been something there to miss because the job would not have even been offered. What bad attitudes would you wind up teaching your children if you were not aware it was harmful to teach them? Thats a very tiny part of the complex picture that makes up the problems in the Black community.
Ever notice that a LOT of your most successful Black kids have Military Parent(s)?
I grew up in a place that didn't have a single Black person in my School. Not one.
I went in the Army right of High School and the only color the Army sees is Olive Drab.
My Father was about the same way. He was no Angel but he wasn't racially prejudiced.
I don't understand prejudice. I don't get it.
I do, however, understand a conditioned reflex.
Is that a prejudice? I think not.
If Blacks really do (and they do) commit crimes and murders at rates that dwarf what Whites do, don't you think somebody needs to address that?
And since 'White' people aren't allowed to without being called racist pigs, then the responsibility falls to the Leaders in the Black Community.
And I don't see that happening. Beginning with the scumbag-in-chief (look, sorry the first 'Black' president had to be a scumbag but -- He is. Deal with it) Nobody is actually doing much for Blacks other than throw a few lousy stinking bucks at them and make them even more resentful.
I believe it's time we start looking at the real cause of problems in the Black community and be prepared for what we find.
It ain't gonna be pretty. But if we don't search for, find and correct the problems...... The REAL problems, then this is all going to end very badly. It's time to take responsibility. Time to man-up before this gets out of control
It's already headed in that direction.
