It is actually a shame that politics has become such a major part of race!
Back in the 70’s, race was much less a factor, we looked at those with good character and welcomed them - especially in the military. It seemed to me a no problem then.
Today, the activist race baiters (Hello Jackson, etc..) tend to try to bring all of us into the same category, anti non our own race - such crap!. It just is and should not be a problem today.
If you really want to remove illegal (there will always be individual prejudice) prejudice, you have to also get rid of affirmative action laws. These laws only attempt to normalize things that may or may not have happened, usually with folks and businesses that have nothing to do with the law.
Oh hell, I give up, America seems to be lost these days!
I served with some black guys I would’ve given my life for. Now I’m wondering if they would’ve done the same. I’d like to think so.
