in 1962 I entered the Air Force and remained there until 1969. Now these were the years SUPPOSEDLY when Blacks were climbing out of the muck.

My first experience with a Black person was my Black roommate. He could not figure out why I could tolerate other Blacks and he could not. He referred to them in constant barrages of derogatory terms I suppose because he considered himself well educated and very athletic.

Throughout my career I had numerous encounters with great Black NCOs, Black Officers and Black co workers and subordinates, as well as Whites. Amazingly, according to people like Michelle, these Blacks got promoted, demoted, decorated and courtmartialed just like the Whites did. No it wasn't amazing, it was plain old reward for work done. Good god, I even knew some Whites and Blacks who were dealt awful hands, often thru no fault of their own or simply because they lacked the intelligence to do any better. I never heard any of them blame their fate on the USA! They stood tall and saluted the flag in the morning and evening just like everyone else!

I'm tired of the whining! And I'm tired of excuses for pieces of crap like the Rev. White. I'm Catholic and I never once defended the abusive priests. They don't speak for me or anyone I know. I put them in the same class as Wright.

Obama may be charismatic, intelligent, and cool. But Ghandi, Jesus Christ!

Give me a break!
