	<description>Eventually, I learned the joys of killing. But I’m skipping ahead of myself. I landed in Iraq in November 2004 armed with a video camera instead of a weapon...</description>

					<description>I can attest to this. My mom threw a fit when I brought up the idea of becoming a Marine when I graduated high school in 2005. It was just last month I was able to actually convince her to support my decision and the reasoning behind it.</description>

					<description>Not our finest hour, that bag of puss wants college money and to leave the house well I'm glad he didn't sign any papers. I signed the papers to kick down the door not to get out of the house. I deal with fuck-tards such as this all day at my college oh well. Gods honest truth there are an assload of athletes running about in the black community but very few true warriors. The proof is in the pudding.</description>

					<description>I see no problem with the military providing incentives for people to recruit. Aside from the experience you gain in the military, it's perfectly fine if they want to provide money for college or grad school as well as help out with loans. However, what is not ok is the people who only sign up for this and then complain when they have to go fight.</description>

					<description>A nation cannot long survive if the citizens are unwilling to fight to defend it. I worry about the future of our country with so many people who are unwilling to do anything to keep it together.</description>

					<description>Jesse Jackson. Al Sharpton. Louis Farrakhan. 

Don't need terrorists when these guys are around. :twisted: 


I'd come up with a much bigger list but....don't have the time.


The democrats that are using the black community like toilet paper are not helping much either.

All part of their plan I suppose.</description>

					<description>"“Why would we go over there and help them [Iraqis], when [the US government] can’t help us over here?” he said, referring to the cleanup after Katrina."

Isnt this just what a liberal would say. Apparently, the media only talks to liberal blacks. even one guy admitted he was looking to enter exclusively for the benefits. Does anyone ever consider The JFK reason" Ask not what your country can do for you.

The libtard blacks like jesse and company constantly tell them how to think, and patriotism is  a dying commopdity in the black community. In the 40's blacks faced greater persecution and discrimination, yet they werer amongst the most patriotic troops we had.   :oops:</description>

					<description>Wait a damn second. Weren't these people just recently bitching that there were to many Blacks and minorities in the military? 

Rangel's own words on the www.house.gov site:
http://www.house.gov/list/press/ny15_rangel/DailyNewsOpEd.html

The disproportionately high representation of the poor and minorities in the enlisted ranks is well documented.  Minorities comprise 35 percent of the military and Blacks 20 percent, well above their proportion of the general population.

Fuck these people and their social engineering and their not-so-hidden agendas. Leave the military alone, go play your political games with the girl scouts. 

All I have to say is "WTF."</description>

					<description>It is very telling that the Dems try to smear the military any way they can.  Race and finances always come into play.  I have been listening to them say how the poor and minorities are targeted for some time now.  That just isn't the case.  Thank you for posting the real numbers for us.  It is interesting to say the least.  

Great vid Iggy.</description>

Yeah, unfortunately everyone's lost their way. As I mentioned above, there are a lack of true leaders. A few of us actually have a mind on our shoulders to think for ourselves, but the rest are too busy looking at BET or stabbing each other in the back and hating "The Man", as they term it.

This is a result of many black folks growing up without fathers. A lot of societal issues, one of which is the fucking welfare system. Why work when everything is handed to you?</description>

					<description>Why do Blacks want to be a member of a party that wanted to keep them in slavery.The governors in the south when the civil rights protest and riots were going on during the sixties were all democrats. The plantation owners were southern democrats. When the slaves were given their freedom the plantation master asked the slaves to stay with him and he would take care of them because they would never make it on their own. To this day the democrats are still telling them that and the majority of blacks are still feeding into it. 
So, who are the real uncle Toms today? I can tell you who isn't. Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, Clarence Thomas, JC Watts for starters. 
As far as Katrina goes. The federal government wasn't the problem as much as the local and state government. The feds couldn't do anything until the local and state government gave them the go a head. By that time it was to late. 
This is what happens when people depend on the drive-by media for their news. They come out looking as dumb as a box of shit.</description>

					<description>This is always such a touchy subject and since Future 0311 posts here I hoped I would be able to comment without you thinking I was a racist.  Just tales from the front seat of the taxi.  And, I'm going to be blunt.  Fifty percent of the population in the back seat was black.  The same dumb shit I heard coming out of the mouths of the grandparents back in '75 was the same dumb shit I heard coming out of the mouths of the grandchildren in '02.  When I hung up my keys in Nov '02 I said, "I don't have to listen to dumb shit anymore".  You get the feeling that many wake up everyday and start the day blaming whites for the fact that they have to get up and the day is all down hill from there.   Let's trot out Katrina.  After a five day warning the choclate mayor couldn't get it together, even turning down AMTRAK's off of trains to help with evacuation, not to mention all the buses we saw submerged in flood water.  Marshalling the public transportation system of New Orleans and everything else available all he had to do was get them up to Alexandria, Louisiana, Camp Beuregard, 100 miles north to wait it out.  The collapse of the levees would not have been as tragic if this simple evacuation had been done.  Now, they couldn't get it together to get everybody out of town but, they were able to send buses to Houston, Dallas and Atlanta to pick up everyone to bring them back for one day to New Orleans on election day.  They voted him back in.   People went ballistic when Fox of Mexico said, "our illegals do what your blacks won't even do".  A bit of a stretch but a bit of truth.  All of those entry level jobs so many think they're too good to do those jobs until something better comes along are all done by 12 million illegals.  But, so many blacks say that there're no jobs.  As we see on Maury Povich, yes, about three years ago I used to watch.  Did that for a year, until I got cable.  Anyway, it doesn't speak for all, but we see the extreme sampling that gives the impression that many would rather be crotch grabbing baby daddy.  The Justice Brothers have been elevated and accomplished blacks mentioned by someone above are sidelined and marginalized by many blacks.  We've all heard of the "No Snitch" policy.  They sell t-shirts with the international 'no' symbol on them stating that.  We have a dress policy that is for giving the impression of street cred.  In jail they take away belts and shoe laces as a precaution in case someone wants to hang themselves.  Without the belt the pants droop.  Kids would rather imitate jailed criminals.  "See, the man took my belt".  For a while I saw a style of walk that tried to imitate walking with shackles on their feet.  I saw it for a while driving the cab in Buffalo.  Within a thirty mile radius of City Hall here in Philadelphia, where I started my taxi driving career back in '75, continued until '81, 90% of the daily shootings are in West and North Philadelphia.  You get the impression that many would rather be in jail and shooting each other everyday.  Some reports are that jails have become radicalized mosques and are breeding jailhouse muslims.  Lastest sampling.  It's been on national news.  The shooter of those two armored car guards, retired Philadelphia cops working on a second career.  Murdered execution style by a former Leroy or Tyrone that had done time in the '90s for bank robbery.  While incarcerated he did his studies, took on an arabic name.  I know I'm not speaking about all but, these extreme samplings in the amount they occur really skews the population.  There's a sickness in the black population that spills over into the entire black population.  Just some of my personal observations while over a thirty year span starting in '75 and ending in '02 for eighteen years drove around in the middle of it all.  I did it all with my eyes open and I have a color TV.  It's not my fault.</description>

					<description>Damn I'm tired of this race shit. Look, when you take the ASVAB test, that is what determines what potential you have.
A high GT score gets you more opportunities. A lower GT score gets you fewer opportunities.

Race hasn't a fucking to do with nothing. The military could care less about your race. 

These fucking civilians haven't a damn clue and should just 
STFU.

Opportunity abounds in the military for anyone who is willing to apply themselves, no matter who you are or where you come from.</description>

					<description>If most blacks (and I refuse to use that PC shit African-American) don't want to join a volunteer force, so be it.  For many of them, it will prove to be a missed opportunity.  I know that for me personally, one of my greatest regrets is not being smart enough as a teenager to join something and do something greater than self.  The military is more than a war machine.  It gives mostly males a chance to find themselves, to determine a purpose, some earned self respect, and if one plays their cards right an opportunity to do something constructive with the rest of their lives.

See, the older I've gotten the more I realize irrespective of race or creed, each segment has its good and bad.  Clarence Thomas has been one of the few men in the public spotlight I really admire and have long thought that way before it was popular to do so.  When he dressed down liberal, lilly white Senators during the Anita Hill fiasco, I thought it one of America's finest moments.  Some poor, black kid who had become a man, achieved what few dreamed, and telling the real racists, those that hold black America captive only requiring their services every two years to vote, go piss up a rope.  Unfortunately, only a few noticed what had just happened and how far America had come from Jim Crow.  Worse, most of black America considered Thomas an Uncle Tom.

Well, here's one white man willing to tell you the truth and really doesn't give a damn what you think of him. The bullshit that has become this perpetual victimhood in the black community is nothing but a crutch.  If we have to blame somebody in the gov't for the fault of Katrina, let's put the blame where it really belongs.  70 years of local and state gov't corruption in Gomorrah leads to incompetence and breached levees, lack of an emergency plan, and little chance of quick recovery.  You need to blame someone, you can start with Huey Long and work your way up.  Meteorologists had warned you for years New Orleans wouldn't survive a catastrophic hurricane.  Few listened.

You and your elected officials were asleep at the switch with your thumb in your collective ass.  Many of you had 96 hours notice and did nothing to help your loved ones or yourself, waiting for daddy Fed to come take care of you.  You experienced that the government, fed state local, is not as capable as your elected officials have led you to believe and now you want that same incompetence to wipe your your tears and make everything better.  Keeping pulling that Dimocratic lever and you will continue to find yourself a perpetual victim.  You seem to enjoy it.</description>

					<description>@Grumpy 

Wait a damn second. Weren’t these people just recently bitching that there were to many Blacks and minorities in the military? 

-------------------------------------------

Damn right, Grumpy.  As usual, they shift the facts and tone to suit their agenda.

Let's see, poor blacks joining the military and learning to help themselves build a future while defending the country ... 

Or poor blacks joining a gang and/or drug dealing ring, stealing, killing, getting killed or shipped off to prison ...

WORD TO THE MEDIA AND LIBERAL DEMOCRATS: NOT everyone is college material ... Why? Beacuse they many have been pretty much slackers during primary and high school, promoted "socially" through the ranks just to make *gasp* quota (not in all schools ... but you know of what I speak).  If you keep insisting blacks who join the military have no other options then take YOUR fucking teachers unions by the neck and MAKE THEM TEACH the damn fundamental basics so the "poor" and "poor blacks" CAN become college material!

Do the fucking science.</description>

					<description>Lots of great comments here. 

I am most disturbed by this culture of people, of all creeds, willing to live off government assistance with no intention of doing anything for our society... with the public service of smoking up enough crack and shooting enough meth to limit our children's access. And for this, I am grateful.

In my profession, I see people everyday who come to the hospital for their (medicaid) free care.  For example, I saw a two ton tess and her three ton boyfriend (one white, one black) waiting in the ER the other evening. Flashing their "Missouri Matercard," as we nurses call it.  The obese folks had an "emergency," but sat there drinking Pepsi and eating chips and bullchit... allowing children to run around wild the entire time.  I couldn't help but look at these children and feel sorry that these were their role models. It was pitiful, you all. Truly pitiful.

I'm so terribly disgusted by so many of the people in our country. This "something for nothing" attitude is what leads to socialism.  These people are not just black, they are a subdivion of every culture in America.  The general population has unleased a cancer that has metastisized through our country.  The possible decline in minority military recruits is only a symptom of the underlying stains on the fabric of our nation that won't ever be "shouted out." 

I only attempt to mentor younger disadvantaged people. To show them hard work can make you feel good about yourself, and accomplishment is not just an idea.</description>

					<description>Daley said he signed a letter of intent while attending high school in the late 90's and he's blaming not enlisting on the Iraq war and Katrina which happened years later? Sorry, but I think the signs indicate he got scared off after 9/11 and the thought of actually fighting. It really doesn't matter what your race is, if there are people like this who are afraid of combat, they don't need to be fighting anyway.</description>

					<description>Cunningham: No worries. I actually agree with you. I've seen a lot too. All I have to do is walk outside. I see much of the same shit you just described. They look up to these rappers, many of who are known criminals, and they attempt to imitate them by doing the same shit. Sagging pants (last I heard, that'll get you assraped in prison), these big ass oversized rims on the cars that you just &lt;i&gt;know&lt;/i&gt; someone else is eyeing, selling drugs, shooting each other over the color of the clothes they're wearing, sitting around on corners drinking beer, large crowds of cretins at the liquor store, all of them blaming their "plight" on the white man. 

I could go on forever.

"Steve in NC

“Why would we go over there and help them [Iraqis], when [the US government] can’t help us over here?” he said, referring to the cleanup after Katrina.”
- Nathaniel Daley

“And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.”
- John Fitzgerald Kennedy"

Typical ignorance. He should've known that the state and local governments (which happened to be run by Democrats, no less) were responsible for not averting that catastrophe, not the federal government.

Many blacks are selfish like that. No loyalty to the nation; they're only interested in what they can gain from it. That is why many of them are so receptive to welfare and Hillarycare.

Don't feel bad. They don't have that loyalty toward anybody - they attempt to get everything they can out of anybody. It is despicable.</description>

					<description>As far as the Al Sharpton gang of leeches go, they are more like Yassir Arafat to the Palestinians.  They are completely disconnected from the people they claim to champion, and the only reason they get involved is to boost their own ego and legitimize their self-importance.  Self-indulgent activism just to see THEIR face on TV and in the news, not for the sake of the people who are actually doing the suffering.  Shame...

As far as minorities go, I am not including Hispanics - because those numbers would cloud the numbers in the article, and take away from the demographic group in discussion.  Also, the "Hispanic" count is a bit off because they have a hard time differentiating from Latinos, Caribbean, Mexican, and South American.  They are not always "all inclusive".  Never the less, the Latino/Hispanic community is a strong contributor to the military.

Oddly enough these are the same guys who are "stealing" our jobs (that could be filled by poor people) and standing on the side of the road looking for honest work, rather than sit at home and collect a paycheck based on pity.  Like them or not, for the most part, these guys bust their ass.  Go figure...</description>

					<description>Future 0311, please don't think I have a fixation with guy's pants, but, let me say this one thing and I'll let it go.  When people are incarcerated and are pre-trial they would more likely than not be in street clothes.  Hence the droopy pants.  If pre-trial seems to be going to be a while or after conviction you would be clothed in the orange jump suit, or something similar.  The idea I stated as the catalyst for the droopy pants would add street cred and very easily transfer to the street.  One has to put on the hard face in jail and definitely on the street.  The idea behind the "fashion" you stated and I've heard from others I think originated well after the "fashion" became popular and is an effort to embarrass and shame them into voluntarily pull their fucking pants up.  It's difficult to figure the origin of urban-legends.</description>
