“My only regret is that there’s not a lot more black veterans here today. It’s not a black or a white thing, it’s not a Republican or a Democrat thing”...unfortunately, with 95% of blacks everything is first and foremost a black and white thing...and an anti-Republican thing.
Unfortunately, I have found what you say to be true.
For 9 out of 10 blacks in America they are black before they are anything else.
If they are a teacher they are a black teacher.
If they are a doctor they are a black doctor.
If they are a cop they are a black cop.
If they are a CEO they are a black CEO.
If they are a trucker they are a black trucker.
If they are a lawyer they are a black lawyer.
And they actively instruct their children to think the same way.
