[QUOTE="armyvet, post: 3475847, member: 72110"] I must be blind or slow when it comes to statistics...I have shared fox holes with every race you can think of. Same pay rate..same nasty ass MRE's...same mission. My last room mate actually got promoted before me and he was black, but not because he was black..because he busted his ass and made sure he got promoted. Just a bad-ass GI. When I got out the first job I landed was with a great guy who owned his own lighting company. Yes..another black guy. He worked his ass off and made something for himself. You can throw statistics around, and probably most of it could be true..but my experience..RL experience not a study, you can be successful no matter who you are. Put the dam work in and stop expecting everything handed to you. Only segregation I see is between the gimme and I went out an got it. As far as BLM I served so they can voice their opinion. The right to point out injustice. I just don't know anyone in my small circle that actually joins in with it..they are to busy working. [/QUOTE]
