“Milwaukee’s tough-talking black sheriff, David Clarke, argued this week that white Americans have “made great strides” in healing race relations, and that sooner or later they’re going to grow tired of having their noses “rubbed in the past sins of sins of slavery.”
It’s already later. And not just for blacks. “So and so has become the three hundred and fifth black (fill in the blank) to receive an (fill in the award, office, etc...). It’s bullshit and needs to stop...let alone the whining about past treatment.
I just heard this new gay hero, limp wristed doofus Mr. Sulu, on a TV show whining about his “terrible treatment in internment camps.” Well I got news for you, Mr. Sulu, if you were a white kid and you had a father in the Navy, like I did, you “were uprooted and lived in substandard housing” routinely. You also “weren’t allowed to have a lot of nice things and a home”...you had Q-huts and dirt floors, temporary housing, overnight relocation...nearly homeless...and all because the f’ing Japanese thought they could bomb the shit out of us and rule half of the world! THEY kill 3,000 guys asleep in their racks on Sunday morning, my life turned to shit and now, I gotta listen to all their inconveniences. Screw that. Then the years following with nukes and commies at the gate.
Where do I go for my reparations?
WWll then Korea...you know, we need to let people know there is a whole world of shit that came along with “white privilege” in the 20th century that was just plain brutal for some of us kids, especially military kids and the troops that fought these morons. And now we look like we could easily be heading into another fight against an enemy with world domination fantasies.
Growing up in the middle of all of that stuff was no day at the beach, but I don’t start every sentence with “where’s the (....) you owe me” either. And neither did my old man. He retired after almost 30 years and got a job! And not of us all recovered right away. A lot of us grew up with fathers who were shell shocked or badly damaged guys (especially career soldiers and sailors) who spent 8-10 years away from home...and at war to save the world...without any comforts. God bless them all.
And God bless all the families who will pass the day tomorrow without family members because we didn’t take Islams threat to “finish the job” at the Trade Center while Bubba was getting his knob polished by White House interns and his mannish wife was plotting a second reign, not rooting them out and exterminating them.

It has started already, called the “summer of Trump.”
Amen! And it still continues for military families. Things are better now but it still sucks as a life style. This was brought home to me when I was asked who my best friend from childhood was. I didn’t have one. We moved too much. You don’t get to put down roots.
