The FACT that it’s a “NY Slimes” article tells you ALL you need to know.

Top ranking military are necessarily high IQ individuals. Not many blacks at the high end of the spectrum.

African Americans also appear invisible when it comes to reporting crime.

Actually, not much different than saying... "White-Americans Are Highly Visible at the top of the NFL, but Almost Invisible on the field."

I always thought positions at the top and on the field were awarded on the basis of SKILL and LEADERSHIP abilities.

It would take too long to cite examples. I doubt that that has changed.

I ran into that wall in the Army in 1957, so it hasn't changed at all. Then again in the Navy in 65 everything was about race. At least in the Army the kid they advanced was ok but the Navy was a different matter, you could have a career destroyed in a hurry.

Here for Executive Officers of NYT Co.: https://www.nytco.com/company/people/ (select “Executives”)

Mighty whitey there. Only 3 of 12 “Executives” are outwardly female.

The Pentagon brass kept dropping CIA mutts into our unit. They were incompetent, stupid and white. Hope that makes you bozos at the New York Times feel better.

Maybe the Washington Post should ask why their standard bearer for President is an old doting white man?

I really don’t think your chart is the reason. There are plenty of very intelligent Blacks in the military. They are not looking at the military as a career but as a stepping stone. Combat arms is not their first choice. They are going to communication, logistics etc. These fields provide greater opportunity than being a cannon cocker etc.

I knew this was a NYT article. They are dedicated to ripping America apart.

My point was regarding your comment that blacks should be 10% of senior officers. While there are a lot of very smart blacks, like Clarence Thomas, Allen West, Thomas Sowell, etc,there aren’t enough to provide you with the numbers you want.

More race-baiting $hit from the master race baiter on FR.

Hey coward, why do you post these droppings without comment? What are YOUR thoughts? Do you agree with the NY Slimes?

Oh, and how about abortion? You never answered me on the other thread. Why?

In my opinion, you are an agent-provocateur as played by Maxwell Smart.

Please use the Cone of Silence - you’re becoming irritating.

My thoughts is that it is an interesting story and it will only cause more angry black Americans towards whites. Period.

I’m not a race baiter-—I am a realist, and it is time you become a realist and get out of your bubble.

A lot of black people are raging mad at white people and these articles show it. People here on FR live in a bubble-—race is a BIG issue to the media. Stop minimizing it——

That’s not an answer. Do YOU agree with the premise of the Slimes article yes or no?

Do you believe blacks are “oppressed” by ‘whitey’?

Should blacks be promoted ahead of whites as a form of “reparations?”

Do you support affirmative action?
