Coming from Vermont, I was very naïve, thinking people were just people.
The funny thing was, the older civilian black guys I worked with, and a few black friends who grew up out of the cities, couldn't figure out the behavior of the vermin who were rioting either.
There were around 30,000 of the creatures at Travis, probably around 2,000 folks who happened to be black and were just as upset, if not moreso than we non-blacks over the behavior of the creatures
The inner city types refused to work, claiming they weren't "slaves".
They spent the nights and days partying, smoking dope, getting drunk and listening to their "music" at such high levels, those of us who worked couldn't sleep.
You could feel the concrete walls of the barracks shaking to the "music".
These subhuman creatures taught me why many Americans are "prejudiced".
There was one chow hall on the end of the base where our dorms were, right in the middle of the dorms.
The creatures took it over and allowed no white people in.
They did the same to the Airman's Club.
We had to walk a couple of miles just to eat because of these creatures.
To add insult to injury, we, whites were forced to go to "race relations" classes so we could "understand" the creatures' "music" and "culture".
This was supposedly to defuse the situation.
I had just about gotten over my bad feelings, then the creature occupying the white house was elected.
The fact that he is a halfrican is of no interest to me.
I would have gladly voted for Alan Keyes, Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams or any other legally qualified, conservative / libertarian black candidate for President.
What bothers me is I see the same inner city creature in him and his appointees as I saw at Travis.
I wish "we could all just get along", but with the attitude these creatures have, they will not stop until, eventually there is war within, on a very large scale.
They will start the battle, they may be surprised by our reaction to their attack.
Man, I had a chance to be stationed at Travis back in 1966! Now I’m glad I ended up in Roswell NM (Walker AFB)and later Little Rock.
I was at Travis AFB during the race riots there.
What year was that?
