I think communism will win too - there isn’t a single institution in this country left that has the strength to resist these people. We’ve already lost.
They won’t rule forever, but they could control this country for decades.

I was denied an appointment to the Air Force academy in 1987 due to a racial quota. The filling of racial quota appointments rotated from Representative to Representative each year and 2 months before entering the academy I got a call from my Representative saying he had been informed that it was his turn, and that he was sorry. ?? Minorites already get preferential treatment.

Maybe because they are not smart enough to get in.

One portion of the study looked at nominations from 2009-2019 and found that 32 percent of nominations from House Democrats were for students of color, compared to 15 percent among House Republicans.

Probably isn’t an argument, commie.

Show data and source or STFU. That is a weak arse argument, but what I have come to expect from you.
You could however have a promising career at CNN with your skill set.

members of Congress have awarded just 6 percent of their military academy nominations to Black students and 8 percent to Hispanic applicants. White students received 74 percent of all lawmaker nominations.
Almost in keeping with the make up of the population in general...imagine that...so racist.

Is there an HBC Military College?
nope, the Senior Military Colleges are TAMU, Norwich (Vermont), VMI, Virginia Tech, Citadel, and North Georgia...
there are also a few military junior colleges such as New Mexico Military Institute...

Just continuing to destroy the military. They won't stop until our military isn't even close to the best in the world anymore.
