As a preface, your posts have been reported several times (you all can stop now - we get it. We have >30,000 members and your voices have been heard). As a testament to the openness here, several mods and the guy that owns the place not only have not closed it, but we've posted here.
This makes me more angry then OP telling me to shut my mouth. I wish we would stop trying to make this a complete echo chamber. I reply with sarcasm 95% of the time here, but I can surely appreciate threads that challenge the bias confirmation we see.
Back to the content of the thread, I agree with Derek. The virtue signalling people that are drinking this racism koolaid need get out of their liberal white guilt ridden suburban neighborhoods and see how the rest of the country/world lives. I too joined the military and thrived the same as everyone of my peers regardless of their skin color or past. The reason I joined the military? At the age of 17, the Fire Chief in my home town straight up told me, in front of my father, to join because there was no way a white guy was going to get hired with out Vet preference. My Grandfather was a hero firefighter in NYC, it's what I wanted to do, but equal opportunity not so equal. I was immediately disqualified for military service, due to a life long medical issue. I put my tool belt back on and felt bad for myself for a few months. Decided to try again with a different recruiter/branch and got the right waver. I could have easily played the victim card and become some kind of white trash addict with a chip on my shoulder, but I didn't.
Save the privilege bullshit, stop feeling bad for people, encourage them to better themselves.
FYI, saying shit like "toxic patriotism" is the same as me patronizing you with my earlier troll posts. It saps whatever little credibility you had when started the thread.
