okie, I think you're afraid of black people. Period. I think you're scared shitless of them, with the exception of someone like Clarence Thomas and Michael Steele because they don't "act" black. And, as McGentrix so delicately put it, they've risen above their "condition." I think the whole issue of race is too raw for you.

How does one "act" black?

"One" acts black by not rising above "one's condition. " Almost straight from the horse's mouth with a few pretentious additions courtesy of you.

Considering Okie IS a Vietnam vet, I doubt he would get fucked up. He is speaking of his own experience numbnut.

You still don't get it do you? You have so little tolerance for learning I am surprised that you can actually type here without aide.

The "condition" I spoke of was poverty you idiot. So I guess you are saying that "acting" black means one must live in poverty? Way to be progressive you moron.

I have to agree. I guess that for some Vietnam wasn't so bad, but - and this is only going off of reports, as I wasn't born yet and can't speak to any of this personally - it certainly seems to have been a horrible and traumatic experience for many others.

My father has many Vietnam vet buddies, and they will not discuss what they did there. Period. They have no desire to talk about it at all. Basic training, on the other hand, seems to be one of the favorite topics to tell old stories about when they get together.

Whatever. You didn't know he was a vet and you put your foot in your mouth. Wouldn't it be simpler to try to pull it out instead of gagging on it [edited for good taste]?

@McGentrix,

nope, i stand by my statement

sorry to disappoint, or maybe happy to, take your choice

@McGentrix,

I took it as him giving an opinion on his personal experience.

FOR HIM basic training was tougher (in some ways) than going to Vietnam.

Djjd should have no opinion on the quality of Okie's personal experiences.

You have the right to have whatever opinion you like. However how can you have an opinion on someone's perception of one of their experiences?

If I said that I enjoyed my breakfast this morning; should you have an opinion on whether or not I really did enjoy my breakfast? Could you have an opinion on that?

Likewise, if okie thinks HIS basic training was tougher in some ways than HIS Vietnam experience; should/could you have an opinion on that? And if you think you should/could have an opinion, why would anyone care? It wasn't YOUR experience, it was HIS.

agreed, i'm amazed at how much type has been wasted on the subject

perhaps we should all get back to pissing and moaning (both for and against) about obama

djjd62, Don't feel too out of it concerning okie's opinion about basic training vs service in Vietnam. He's one confused dude! I just got back from a trip to Vietnam, and visited the War Remnant's Museum in Saigon which has hundreds of pictures of the war. Not only dead babies and infants, but deformed babies and adults from agent orange, and the many dead bodies as a result of that war.

okie is a special case of confusion about reality. I've also talked to Vietnam vets when they returned from the war, and they told me about the atrocities there.

If okie feels basic training was tougher than Vietnam, he was probably based in one the safest zones at a desk job where he didn't lose any of his buddies.

A ticked off, vocal, black female ...? Aren't they supposed to act like Joi from "Friday"?

Nice try, McGentrix, but I'm not the one who made the comment about condition. Condi was not born into poverty and neither was Michael Steele. If you meant poverty then why couldn't you have said so in the first place?
