If anything, the US is probably the least racist country in the world. Definitely not any countries in Europe or the Middle East, or Asia.....or Africa, Australia (probably up there with Russia when it comes to racism)

As long as racism is deemed a one-way street, it will linger on and spawn more of it. Minorities will assume they're innocent while the white man tramples them, and white men will think that every minority thinks they're racist because they're white, and begin to harbor resentment.

Peru had a Japanese president
How come so many Military Men are against Socialist/Communist ideas.. You Openly applied for it the day you joined the military?
If that were true there would not be base stores where soldiers can buy stuff with money they earn, nor would there be ranks.cpt.fass1 wrote:

that thinking is racist in itselfs. Nobody i know or associate with considers racism a one way street. It seems the loudest people claiming about "reverse racism" are also the ones that complain about minorities the most.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Intersting so it's socialist? When joining the millitary do you get to choice what job you get, what happens if you want to quit? You give away majority of your freedoms for basic rights..
WAT?!! He a black dude???!!
Well ain't that a Motha- Fugga!
Well ain't that a Motha- Fugga!
Oh Lord.
crazy if you think the military is like socialism
So what is it? It is not capitalism? It doesn't follow our rules, you give up your rights for a leadership you might not agree with.. So what kind of government would you classify the military?

Yes it does? It's either a dictatorship or communism. Just because they have somethings that you can use your money for. Your fundemental needs are taken care of for the work you provide, and you gave up your rights for this "Benefit"
youve got a frighteningly simple outlook on this.cpt.fass1 wrote:

I don't condone Communism, its a flawed system. But had to point out that you could buy stuff with money in Communist Russia as well as having a rank in its military. You can with all the remaining Communist countries too.ATG wrote:

Well it has it's own political government inside of ours, wouldn't you agree?
OH and happy halloween?

Are you familiar with how the red Army was originally formed and how much of a disaster it was. They didnt have ranks in the beginning!JahManRed wrote:

fass, your view is really black and white here.
But you do agree that you are not so much an American Citizen when you sign up for the military, you become property of the American People so to speak...
i'm not really haveing a black and white view here I'm having a discussion how the US Military(which by the way thanks for the service) is a different entity/governmental system then being a civilian.
Also I'm trying to figure out what it would be classified. I'm aiming towards communism, now obviously I"m only talking about when you're in the military.

if it was communism, there would be no incentive to do anything because you already no youre next rank is coming. Promotion is based on merit. If you wanna be a knukclehead and get in trouble, youre not gonna get promoted, like me.
That's how comunism works in real life.. People have better lives then some, it still has a class structure.. Bottom line is the peoples fundimentals are taken care of by the government for service to the government
no, because communism doesnt reward individual effort. Im sorry, but what you are trying to get at and what im trying to explain to are completely incompatbile with each other. First of all, communism isnt even a political ideology, its an economic system, you need to brush up on some of the vernacular.

You'll never fully eradicate racism. Same goes for Terrorism or any kind of "Evil" in this world.
You can control it, suppress it, and diminish it, but never destroy it entirely.
Plus ignorance and a subconscious instinct can always be twisted and interpreted as racism.
These for example:
Still a pretty big historical step was made yesterday and it will be remembered for a long time.
