I've had more bad experiences than good with these people and their practices- great also. This means we are a balanced social group.
So you're saying, based on my experiences, I can say that all african-americans are sucking our nation dry and are no-good, lazy scumbags?

OF COURSE I know that isn't true!! But just because I've had a few experiences with people like that, it still gives me NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER to categorize them all together!

I KNOW there are "bad apples" in the military, clearly! But we need to realize that not everyone is like that! And to not even have an open mind about it... well, its racist without being racist. That's the only term I can think of off the top of my head.

You are entitled to your opinion, and as I said earlier, I'm sorry ours' differ. But in this rare case this is one opinion I just can't respect.
