I retired at Ft.Cambell , Ky as an 11Bravo, CIB, EIB, Air Assault, 2 tours to Iraq, and I'm the only one in my family that's ever joined the military, my family told me I was crazy, stupid, dumb, it's the white man's army ect smh little did they know, it saved my life and I was retired by 43 years old! Here in Tennessee it's hard to get young black men interested in the army, the Infantry is out of the question, and if you mention that they may possibly be a good Ranger or Sniper they look at you like your crazy!

I don’t think it’s just black Americans. Many don’t want to chance being sent off for some reason that makes no sense and just benefits the Military Industrial Complex. From a family member’s perspective, most want to learn the job and not be battered with the silly stuff that is being pushed.

[@epweezy1]

You’re right brother, I remember when I joined coming from Houston I was the only brother that enlisted for 11b. Everyone else was a mechanic, S1, supply or cook and they asked me why 11B? I told these young brothers learn your history because we fought on the front lines and if I’m gonna serve my country I want to be where the action is at. I don’t want people thanking me for my service because I was a cook or mechanic no offense to those who went down that path. Eventually went SOF and yes there’s a diversity issue over there as well but I knew what I wanted the day I joined. Medically retired now.

A couple of things: my wife was on the DoD Diversity and Inclusion Board. One thing that didn’t make the report was my observation that many blacks won’t stay in for the long haul. Especially true if they are college bound. Also, I walked into a dfac in Kuwait one morning and saw about 25 black SNCO’s sitting at a table (I’m black too), and all I thought was “aren’t we over this segregation thing?” Finally, how do we recruit minorities when they look at every single institution as racist? I’ve tried to talk young men and women into the service, but their parents were terrified of racism in the military. In my 23 years in the AF I endured only 2 instances of racism.

[@Bruss813]

Do the white NCOs sit together?

[@Bruss813]

Staying in for the long haul has nothing to do with recruiting and providing info. Go to the inner city high schools and xxplain special forces, etc.

[@Mrd1_j6665]

The military is a microcosm of the rest of the world. Racism does exist in the military most assuredly. It is, what it is. Just because people join the military doesn't change them in totality from what has been ingrained in them. The is a bit better in some ways we can acknowledge.

[@robbentodd6824]

@@Bruss813 actually, you missed part of my point. If the leadership looks all white, do you think any minority serviceman will stay in past the first enlistment? No, they won’t. That’s what the sailors told my wife and others on the board. One and done. As far as trying to recruit in the so-called inner city, hogwash. They’ve been told by their Marxist teachers that the military is even more racist than the police force. I’ve tried. Even the white inner city aren’t entered red in mil service. The propaganda is so powerful in their minds they can’t detach themselves from it.

[@sksimmons1336]

The fact that you encountered racism at all is one time too many. I wonder if you ever had a thought of a large group of white airman conversing as being segregated. If you’re honest, I’m willing to bet the answer is no. America will continue to have a problem with cultural diversity for the foreseeable future because all we see if race vs an ignorance of nuances in diverse cultures. And the military is just a microcosm. I served as an Army Infantry officer. Did a yearlong combat tour in Iraq and served in Korea. Was told by the ROTC cadre before I commissioned to stay away from combat arms jobs. I think the larger issue is the general distrust from black people after multi-decades of historical mistreatment in the U.S. and a mistrust of police, military, etc. The misconception of black service members being sent to the “front lines” still exists.

Joined January 89 and was the medic for the scout platoon in desert shield/ storm. Had a scout from the deep south who was not so secret about his dislike for blacks .I was the medic and one of only 2 blacks in the whole 30 or so man crew. This guy was the only only one that got injured! Best believe he was humbled and very thankful when I rendered treatment to him. When shit hits the fan, everybody sticks together. The scouts treated me great the whole time before and after that. More youth need to jump in and open their minds. Social media has ruined damn near everything.

[@JR-ju3kj]

@@fmaccount5 Which is really sad. Because I have said for years now that a lot of the young kids and young adults who go down the wrong path in inner city communities across the United States( and I was careful of making that distinction by saying going down the wrong path because of course, not everyone in the hood is like that) would be so much better off in the military than they would be in gangs or selling drugs. If you want to shoot somebody, go join the military where you can do it legally, get paid to do it, have a legitimate, real job with benefits and a good retirement plan and they even pay for your education. There is none of that in gangs or with selling drugs. I look at slain young rappers like King Von from Chicago ( who was also a gang member and alleged serial killer) and I just think that it is such a waste of life and potential. He would have been better off in the military than fighting over blocks he has no ownership of any kind over( although, I should point out that he was killed in Atlanta and not Chicago). There IS exposure but there definitely needs to be more and perception is something else here. Perception is big. The perception of it as being something dumb is something that needs to change.

Just pick the best people, who fit the current mission. Look what Charles Barkley said. You go to a predominantly black school and they want to be an athlete, but you talk to white students and they want to be Doctors, Engineers, Nurses, and other professionals. So it is exposure, and how much your parents value education.

[@treklub3]

Black kids don’t see black doctors, and lawyers because it’s not marketed to the black community enough. Dr Antonio Webb. A black Orthopedic Surgeon and U.S. Air Force Veteran.

[@MrChuckwagon55]

David Goggins (a famous black SEAL) went to try out for RIP, and the two white SEALS didn’t make it, while Goggins came in second place out of everyone! He said he would have finished first (he really did) but made a technical mistake or something that he takes full credit for and owns. But the point is, if your black, you can not only be a Ranger, you can finish first in your class! You can do whatever you want to. Your judged and evaluated by your performance, and you’ll be part of an elite brotherhood that has nothing to do with race. The sky is the limit, you can do and accomplish anything you want to do.

Sorry but I wholeheartedly agree with the "how " theory. One example is being born and raised in Washington DC. Born in 71, throughout my entire childhood the goal was a government job because all my relatives were government workers and likewise close to 35% of my peers took the same route 😂. Went army January 89 and by the end of desert storm had a combat field medical badge and could run a 10:50 2 mile at a moments notice. So what? Right? Well upon arriving at basic training, I could barely do the 20 push ups to get out of replacement battalion and had never run more than 50 yard's without gassin out. During the war I ran into a kid (jeff I hope you see this) who was a brand new CW1 pilot. I knew him from middle school (he was 2 years older) but he had moved to a more affluent neighborhood in Montgomery County Maryland who's high school was aware of the " high school to fly school " program. I was a medic but was like dammit....jeff? Fvk all the proper we laughed and hugged. We both used to say we wanted to fly but didn't think that was possible. My high school or recruiting station never frickin mentioned it😢

[@eduardosuarez2414]

The problem is that "Diversity" has come to mean "diversity for diversity's sake". It has become such an ideological cult that its proponents really seem to think that having more blacks/gays/women will automatically improve the organisation just by their presence, by the magic power of diversity. Of course, the _real_ reason that the military should try to recruit people from diverse backgrounds is not because their race, gender, or sexuality gives them some kind of special insight, it's that many of them will actually be good at something. So if there's a situation where women or minorities are not joining for some reason, there's talent being left on the table. So it makes sense to run recruitment campaigns targeting groups that normally don't apply, and selecting the best candidates from that previously untapped pool. You'd think this was common sense. An example of this being ruined by the diversity cult is a recent scandal in the UK. I don't know how widely this was reported, but the Royal Air Force eventually had to admit that they were specifically discriminating against white men in favour of women and minorities. The head of the air force had declared ridiculous diversity targets, one of which was that he wanted 20% of the RAF to be ethnic minority and 50% women (ethnic minorities don't even make up 20% of the UK population). It started when the officer in charge of recruitment resigned in protest that white male candidates were having their applications "paused" so that female and minority applicants could jump the line, even if they scored lower on the entry tests. So they were literally recruiting less-qualified people because of their race and gender. The RAF initially denied it, but then someone leaked an internal email where a recruitment officer discussed how they could get around the "blind" selection process to meet the diversity targets, which was the RAF's "number one priority." The RAF issued a non-apology that basically said "Okay so we did do that, but it was all in the name of diversity, and we all want that, right guys?" Who knows, it's probably still happening.

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

@@thetruth1635 well they sure seem much better. Recently a black athlete even said an all pro black team could beat an all pro white team. Kind of says two things . As to spec ops, quite a few yrs ago a black group ( don’t remember which one ) was saying that the Seals are discriminating against blacks because you had to know how to swim😆😆 .Cant get dumber than that. One of the requirements for SF ( not sure about Seals) is a GT score of 110 ( or 105). Very few blacks in the army achieve that score which eliminates them at the very beginning. Standards have been lowered for females in Ranger School, jump school and SF. If anyone says otherwise they are full on leftist as I was an instructor in the army for 15 yrs and had access to not only the training manuals but hard core conversations with Ranger/SF instructors who were required to insure females passed. Saying this ,there is no reason blacks can’t go thru SF if they choose providing they get thru the door. But crying racism every time some thing doesn’t go their way will backfire. I have known many fantastic black NCOs over the years I spent in the Army - from SF and airborne units ( never met a black ranger or seal as my travels didn’t take me in that direction). So there is plenty of opportunity in those units for motivated black guys. Ranger units are heavy on Hispanic guys.

[@Concern_Citizen]

Unfortunately, the issue of your discussion is far more complicated than it seems on the surface. And its roots go back further than most of us been alive... like as far back as late 1947. The concept of managing Blacks in Society that was developed back then is still in full effect. it was and is a multi-prong, targeted approach that reaches deep into the lifestyle of the Black communities. And, unfortunately, can't be discussed further in any open forum and certainly not on YT.

[@Ry-di5gs]

I am glad we have a podcast like this. Most minorities are in excellent physical shape and physically stronger than most other races and excel in most sports. It really comes down to exposure to the pool, scuba and anything related to special operations. When this exposure happens, then we have more diverse candidates. Then its no longer the exclusive good old boy club from basic level training all the way to the teams. I speak from experience, I had to deal with this on every level along the way through buds class to the teams; I felt the opposition all along the way and i went the through training back in the 89/90's
