You know the one thing I cannot understand about the ones screaming "racism!" at every turn these days?
They forget what their forefathers went through. And they went through actual hardcore racism in their daily lives. Even while serving their country.
You look back at the men that served in the US Military during WWII. The Tuskegee Airmen, the 761st Tank Battalion, the Montford Point Marines, the 92nd Infantry Division specifically. Many of these men volunteered to serve their country. And during a time of legal segregation, they still chose to serve. And serve with distinction they did. Against all odds, they served a semi ungrateful (at the time) nation and did so with honor and valor. They didn't throw up their hands and say "I can't because of racism." They set out to prove they were the best because they had to be the best. With barriers thrown up at every turn, they overcame the odds to prove they were equals, if not better, than the white troops they served in the same military with. As a nation, we finally gave them the respect they were well past due and saw their noted accomplishments against the odds.
Anyway, you take great men like that along with the people during those times that suffered from real racism and I cannot grasp my head around why this generation chooses to quit rather than press forward and work harder.
