I guess everyone's perspective is of some value to someone. We all see things differently. I just hate anyone who plays a victim when that largely is not the case...and furthers the narrative. It is a lot like a pro athlete telling one how oppressed he is or a Trump child telling you how tough their life was. Although there will always be people that exhibit racism, it is just not systemic as some would indicate...especially in the Air Force.

The AF has never been able to recruit the minorities it desired (and invested greatly to do so). Here we have a black 4 star that will likely be the next AF Chief of Staff (top job in the entire service), and he is essentially telling blacks that it is difficult for blacks to serve. If that scares them off, many will pass up a golden opportunity for a great life. Might as well tell minorities that college is too hard for them because all professors will treat them poorly due to color...and be shocked that they do not choose that path.
