Only going up for E-4.  After testing I was PNA'd due to 4 minorities with lower test scores than me getting promoted.  What I get for taking a gov't job.

Racism. What does it mean to you?

Racism is real.

It happens every day.

What I don't understand is how pissy people get when they are called on a racist remark just because "they didn't mean it that way".
 
Who cares how you meant it. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. We should all be sensetive about how and what we say to others. There is sufficient history for many in our society to "take it wrong" for good reason.

People are tired of hearing unwarranted charges of racism used ad nauseum.  Some people have a clear conscience.

I think it has turned 180 degrees and white males are the biggest targets for racist treatment in the world right now.:(

I am not saying it is not real.

I am saying I personaly care whole hell of a lot less about this issue since I was acused of it and it was 100% a false claim.



 On a side not, frankly I couldn't give a **** if people go around making racist coments.  They are free to do it, and are protected by the first amendment like any other speach.

I think the only time the government should get involved in RACE issues is if a person has a real case where they where not hired or not allowed to do anything purely based on race.

I tried to join the Black Panthers but they turned me down...they said I was white.  So I looked in the mirror, and surprisingly they were right.  Came as quite a shock to me.:eek:
