Kind of ironic, ain’t it...that the Sharptons and Jacksons of the world must REALLY hate that quote.
Oh yeah no doubt they hate it.
I think most people agree that people should be judged by their performance and not by their skin color.
Can you imagine what that does for Active Duty troops to hear this rubbish?
“Kind of ironic, ain’t it...that the Sharptons and Jacksons of the world must REALLY hate that quote.”
Yup, for sure. In the early days of thr Iraq War Charlie Rangel would periodically get in tv and rant about the disportinate number of blacks in combat units and that something should be done about it. Finally, some reporter bothered to do some research and found Charlie’s contention not true. When confronted with the facts Charlie shut his pie hole and to my knowledge has never brought it up again. The fact is, blacks don’t volunteer in representative numbers for combat units, especially the elit units. Hispanics on the other hand have a long history of volunteering for the Marines and have performed exemplarily. Don’t know why blacks don’t volunteer for combat units in proportional numbers. I’ll leave that to others to answer....
