Trueblackman, you are a man I’d like to know! I don’t really care about the color of your skin......mine is getting sort of wrinkled. You, obviously, have a great heart and that is all that matters! Come be my neighbor!
Earlier today I spoke with my MUCH older brother who was 4F in the days of the draft. (multiple pins in his arms). He said he always felt the military experience was something he’d missed in his life. He was fortunate to have fallback positions .. he worked and went to school at night (while married with four kids), and retired on the upper end of comfortable.
Those young men who need it most, who don’t have the strong family structure, are missing the opportunity to actually make something of themselves. It’s a tragedy few are willing to look at. The odds of their making it to 30 in DC/PG are not terrific. Too many either end up being 6’ under or behind bars before that age. You were blessed .. thank you for your service and well-lived life.
Unless they are athletes or entertainers.
Poor whites aren’t much better. Poor people in general have a warped culture.
God bless you and those like you.
I believe that people in the “black community” should cross over the border into America and assimilate. They are a perfect potential to become an American. They speak the same language, have the same religions, are accustomed to American ways and have helped build the country.
No longer should be have “Two Americas” communities, one white and one black. Come on in.
This type of information needs to get out more and more.
The first part of your Speech at the rally in Washington, DC in Sept 2005.
Keep up the good work!
*BUMP*
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.
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.
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.
Ouch!
I am disturbed to see this from you. It makes me very sad.
Thanks for being a great American. ^5’s
