Bigotry and Racism in the Military Pt 2

This is a video that shows an interview with Corey Andrew who was called everything but his given name by an Army Recruiter in an e-mail because he is black and gay. Go to www.coreyandrew.com for more information. It is horrible that in this day and age you have such hate pervasive in the military. It makes one wonder if this is not how all the official think and talk which made it so easy for them to discuss this in an e-mail w/o thinking anything was wrong.

You don't know the half of it, in the US Military defense, there equal assholes. Every job in the miltary should be open to anyone who has the physical and mental ability to do it. The only requirements should be aptitude test. All the exciting jobs require degress, which in it's self is descrimination.  They are basically saying that if you don't have one...you don't have the intelligence to do the job.

It's horrible, but true, I was in the U.S. Marines and sadly this doesn't come to a surprise to me. I believe this is great stuff though. Keep up the good work! Thx.

No one deserves to be discriminated against. I do not care of you are "gay", "straight", "white", "black", "masculine" or "feminine".

People claim they are against wickedness when demonizing one group of people("black", "gay", "white"). Yet, they fail to realize that they are setting themselves up to be slaughtered also, out of ignorance. We're all one and what goes around, comes around. If one group of people cannot live freely, no one else in this world will ever truly be free.

So often in our history, unhappy; misguided people have created scapegoats discriminating against and blaming those that are different for the problems in their OWN lives! It is an EVIL prejudice in men's hearts that must be fought. If we stand up to the troublemakers, they will give up their cruel designs BUT If we fail, their intolerance will grow + many could perish via divide & conquer

Until people realize that all racism & bigotry is evil, universal peace will always just be a "dream"

yup not surprised. I'm a lawyer for the military and this crap goes on all the time and then they have the nerve to come to me to help cover it up.
