I spent my life believing the issues like the United Negro College Fund's ...A mind is a terrible thing to waste. For justice. What we have for it is games. People who are white males have paid the price of job denial for affirmative action and quotas. So we get this. For decades now. I expected African American me and women to be at the forefront of being scientists with breakthroughs of a better life for all and science accomplishments. And great business people nationally applauded . And great industrialists creating millions of jobs. And even more then that great tech leaders doing the same. For being denied a job by ability in the 1970's and part of the 1980's I have been snookered. China is building naval destroyers at a couple hundred million dollars a copy now while we are going to build a slightly better destroyer designed in the 1980's for 2 billion a copy. Figure it out.
So it's Jussie's fault China is building destroyers in an era where destroyers don't really matter that much?
The thing is, even with Affirmative Action, white males still have it pretty good in this country. Do you know how I know this?
The one thing that changed me from being a pretty conservative guy to a pretty liberal one is when I started encountering age and medical discrimination. Up until that point, in my late 40's, I had it pretty good as a white, straight male.
Now, imagine if I had encountered systematic discrimination pretty much since birth. I'd probably feel a lot different about it.
Ok there admiral twat-waddle.
Destroyers matter when they are far superior than the ships of some of our allies in the area.
And those pesky submarines still are a threat to even the largest combatant.
