Black Americans/African Americans shouldn't join the army. Here's why?

[Anonymous]

Why would they fight for a country who doesn't even protect them?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

We had a whole Civil War for black people. A president died so black people could have rights. We basically legalized racism specifically against people who aren't black so that they could have a chance to catch up. In fact, colleges that don't have enough black people or support black rights enough are not elegible for government funding.

The entertainment industry is almost being run by black people right now, Atlanta is becoming more important to the industry every day. Black owned businesses are the new hot thing to invest in.

The police got defunded, people let out of jail.

It's kind of hard to say that if you're black you shouldn't join the millitary because the government does less for you than other races.

They should send all the women to the army, so that they pay for all the deaths of the men in the second world war.

Your ignorance is palpable.

Black Americans have fought and died for the country since its foundation.

They shouldn't have is my point

Via your comment, I’m assuming black men “shouldn’t have” fought in the Union army ranks during the Civil War?

If we didn't protect them, they would still be picking our cotton

I agree with that sentiment for myself but I don’t speak for all black people, my dad was in the military for a short time
