I am sorry to hear that. We will never get past the race issues in this country if we don't stop using them as discriminators in all facets of our life. We must give up this idea that race is what separates us. All groups do it when it meets the needs of people. I long advocated the removal of pictures for promotion packets at HQ DA. The system is so entrenched in the process there is little room for change.
