"Integration being mishandled" is a lot different than "integration was the down fall of our modern school system".
The first leaves room for discussion. The second sounds like a racist ass hat.
That is exactly how I saw his statement. Of course we always have those that jump on the first statement that even looks like it might put a brutha down.
Integration in education was the beginning of the downfall of our educational system. However, it was not integration within itself, it was how it was implemented.
They are using the same tactic today with universal health care.
Instead of insuring that those in need are afforded the same opportunities at the same levels everyone else, they do not attempt to bring the needy up, but the system down. SO instead of holding to the standards that were already in place in the supposedly better white schools, the requirements were dropped for everyone so that the small amount of minorities could be seen as functioning at the same level as the whites. Had we implemented it to the point in which everyone had to function at the higher level or stay where you were until you could, then we would have had only one generation of minorities that took longer to finish school. Then every one would have been on the higher track. Instead we dumbed down the education system in an effort to give the impression that everything was equal.
SO in order to make sure that the 10-15% of Americans that cannot afford health care get theirs, the whole system that is functioning well (not great) today has to get knocked down to basic care. That way we are all equal to the least fortunate/unlucky/lazy/oppressed of us.
Did integration of the military have the same effect? I'm not sure. As long as individuals were promoted according to merit, then I don't think it had the same effect. But as soon as you mandate promotion according to racial percentages, then yes, you degraded the quality of the military. I have no idea if that was done or not, but that is the only way I could see it causing an issue.
But to equate gays with blacks in terms of rights is ridiculous.
Nobody I have talked to that has their job consist of living in a foxhole for days at a time, wants to worry about whether the guy next to him is gay. They do not want to know or have to deal with it. The issue of DADT is just another smokescreen to keep us off track and to promote the librul agenda that the dims are known for.
If they want to screw with it, then have an all gay division. We'll even let them go in first.
