- I remember the broo-ha-ha that surround the racial integration of the Armed
- Services... Lotta good-ol-boys were sure that "niggras" weren't capable
- of serving next to "white folx". Predicted that this was the biggest
- screw up since the abolition of slavery. Some of them were pretty subtle
- about it too... didn't talk about the ability of the black servicemen - they
- talked about the ability of the white majority to trust and serve with the
- blacks. "Nothin against dem black folx... it's just that it would prevent
- the military from working together right."
-
- Well, we've seen how our integrated service did in recent action.
- How much better could you have expected them to perform in Desert Storm
- if it had been all white and all black companies? I doubt the army
- has been hurt through racial integration, in spite of the old racisms
- expressed in the mid '50s.
-
- Seems like I hear a lot of this tired old bullshit nowadays... some people
- say "Gays can't cut it". Others say "It would decrease the efficiency of
- the hetero guys if they had to run from foxhole to foxhole with one hand
- covering thier tuckus". But it's still the same old song... hate the one
- who is different so as to make yourself feel better.
