Why does the Black Caucus still push for special treatment for military officers??

Question

Once again the black caucus is complaining about the number of black officers in flag ranks. I remember the old quota system that pushed blacks ahead of whites back in the 60's. Anytime Race offsets reality a problem is in the making. Instead of trying to increase the friction in the country the Black caucus should look at why so few become eligible. Inputting race is wrong. Affirmative action programs have shown how unfair they are. Race should not be shown on military records, other than medical records. The flag level ranks are decided by politicians and any fualt lies with them not the military.

Answer 1

because it's a race issue...whenever they feel that there is not enough black personal in high ranks they fuss...well i'm sorry but if you don't deserve to be promoted you shouldn't get promoted just because of your skin color,sex, or anything else...i'm so tired of hearing about soldiers being promoted just to fill the slots that are open for minorities...if you can do your job, you know your job and you are capable of handing more responsibilities then they should get promoted...if not oh well sucks to be that person maybe they should go back and learn their job instead of relying on the race card to get promoted....

Answer 2

The distaff side of the military has the same problem. The Defense Committee on Women In The Service (DACOWITS) is the biggest barrier to women serving in direct combat roles. As for the Black Caucus' position, if Admiral Sam Gravely were still alive he would tell them to sit down and shut up.

Answer 3

Could you imagine if there were a White Caucus? NAAWP? United White College Fund?

Answer 4

I don't think its that big a deal. The blacks just want equal rights, right?
