The Black Community’s Lack of Respect for those in Uniform

What’s “conservative TV”?

Well, if you have to ask, I can’t help you.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Strong black men serve as excellent leaders in the military. Those qualities are wasted on gang allegiance. As a military guy, I’ve worked for some excellent black leaders.......we need more of them.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

We need to focus on common values first and our heritage much later...one of those values is allegiance to the USA. The left wants us to focus on our ethnicity first which succeeds in dividing us.

"Well, if you have to ask, I can’t help you."

I don't need "help". I asked you a simple question. You can either choose to answer it or not. It appears you prefer not to answer it, for whatever reason. I can only come to the conclusion that your original comment was BS, since you haven't the ability to answer such a simple question regarding your remarks. The internet is full of lies and disinformation.

I’m not sure if it is as universally bad as you portray it, but I will concede it is as bad as you say in some segments of the Black community. Let us never forget it was the Welfare State of the liberals and Democrats that caused the worst of this.

As a fellow black veteran I salute your service and your fidelity to speaking truth.

Those Blacks who enlist or receive a commission are often torn down as “Sellouts and Uncle Toms, who are going out to fight the Whiteman’s Wars,”

If I remember correctly, black people were killed right along with white folks on 9/11. Since they are equal opportunity terrorists, and make no distinctions between the races, I guess this isn't really a Whiteman's War, at all.

Trueblackman,
I applaud your position and wisdom.
You have achieved being colorless.
By the way, thank you for your service from a fellow vet.

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Most of the black Community lives in a delusional state about military service and life, parroting long ago debunk myths from left of center Black Politicians and washed up as well as burned out self-appointed leaders, whose day was 40 years ago.

Ouch!

I am disturbed to see this from you. It makes me very sad.

Thanks for being a great American. ^5’s

"Military service has been a very important way for races to mix and know each other."

I experienced playing sports, either together on the same team or being a competitive opponent, also achieved great mix race relations. Respect is earned during and remains afterwards, unless one has no respect for themselves. I know a few of them, also.

It’s time to come up with a name in response to “Tom”. Something that represents their preference for useful-idiot taken-for-granted victim status. Something they’d have a hard time refuting and know to be disparaging. I don’t yet know what that is. But I’m sure we can put our heads together and think of something.

People like you are a credit to the human race.
