ORIGINAL: thompsonx ORIGINAL: KenDckey Thompsonx I believe that any program that shows preference to anyone is an affirmative action program. How is the situation in oz remotely related to aa? I know I have never used my military to gain an advantage over anyone. You told us the only reason you went in the military was to guarantee your medical care sinced you knew you had a family history of diabetes. You do not take advantage of the veterans discount that many retailers offer? Didn't you have a civil service job after you got out that you got a military advantage in hiring? Don't believe that is the way it should be. That you use it seems a little two faced. As for white male priviledge I have no clue what you are talking about. Now you are lying. Maybe you should ask the Chawtaw Nation Do you get a cheque from the "chawtaw" nation? If not you ain't a member. If you do then you have a priviledge that non members do not.[8|] or my first generation African-American sons or my first generation Mexican American grandchildren. They might have an answer for you. How does the color of your children and grandchildren change your skin color. Hmmmm someone that doesn't understand privilidge. Not surprising. I worked for my military retirement, it wasn't given to me. And at the whim and will of the people they can remove it. And it isn't white priviledge it is the same for all military retired regardless of color, etc. As to discounts, the last one I got was because the clerk saw my military ID when I pulled out my debit card and gave it to me and no I didn't ask. I don't use my VA lone abilities. I pay like anyone else. But again, for those that do, I don't have a problem with it. And like military retirement, it can be taken away. As for the color of my skin, what does that have to do with anything. As far as I am concerned, it shows that you have a problem with anyone strictly upon their color, etc that doesn't match whatever is going thru your mind. As with many things, life choices aren't always the best. But we move on. I was born the son of a cowboy (see birth certificate) and a HS droppout. Yet I push education in my family. If they choose not to go there, then they will pay for those life choices in their own way. Not my problem. Has nothing to do with the original post, but the point is that the choices we make as an individual are our own and we should be held accountable for them. Not society, not anyone else, just for our individual issues. If we want to correct injustices, that is what the legal system is for. I take issue with some legal things, as I know you do. If we feel strongly enough, we would pursue a legal remedy. In the leglelative and judicial systems.
