but its as if poster cant comprehend that there may be instances where them being white helped and the minority got the short end of the stick.
Is this where the "you're oblivious to your white privilege" argument gets inserted? Do you agree there there are instances where being black has given someone the advantage over a white person?

And how is what you guys are saying any different than "you're oblivious to your black privilege?"

Absolutely, without a doubt. I've never once denied this.

I know you weren't addressing me, but I've never seen such a scenario enforced by the government, nope. It is none of their business. Social engineering at the threat of gunpoint sucks.

Whether it is govt or non-govt isn't really relevant to the point I'm trying to make.

This is what happens when politics is seeping in to the military and the pentagon a hell of a lot more than usual, especially with a democratic administration that puts an emphasis on social issues.

"White Privilege" is a very cryptic concept that is used as an assumption for most people that try to promote the concept whereas the "black privilege" is often defined by laws and policies.

In this thread, Army say,s "hey this might be an issue, let's take a look."
PT sees "WE SHOULD ONLY PROMOTE BLACKS BECAUSE frick WHITE PEOPLE."
Good grief this board is fricked up.

Which is why that lesbian bomb wing commander at Barksdale will be a general before very long.

Combat units are lead by people whom graduate military academy's or ROTC. These men volunteer to lead in the military and make it a profession. These majority of these patriotic men just so happen to be white, so I do not see a problem with this. Colin Powell has led our military as well as other minorities, and the soldiers I served with as well as I didn't have a problem with that either.
Why do people always bring up race to get attention?
