There are plenty of men and women of all races that can’t be bothered to serve America, they are too precious to risk anything for their own freedom. They are consumers of freedom, not producers of it, like the men and women serving in the armed forces and other public safety professions are. Why these candy-asses get the vote is beyond me. But this is nothing new. 66% of those who fought in WWII were draftees, while 25% of those who fought in Vietnam were (per the History Channel), so it’s got to be more than just the times.
Black Americans are serving in these professions in numbers beyond their portion of the population. So are hispanics, and others. I think this is one of those theortical articles that cherry pick the black population to make a point, and makes none. If you consider all races and their representation in the military and public safety, it’s the pitifully small number of people of all races willing to earn their freedom, not just blacks, that stands out. I fought beside black Americans in Vietnam and while it’s every soldiers god given right to bitch, they bitched the same amount, and at the same volume as the rest of us, not any more or louder.
