I am a victim of "systemic racism"

San Francisco CA

Description

I wanted to be a forest ranger, when I was in high school My H. S. counselor told me I should study certain subjects, like first aid, fire fighting, etc., so I took night classes at jr. college to get ready. I was in good shape, played football, gymnastics and track I had a buddy who was short and overweight, who wanted to be a forest ranger also. We both went down and took the written test and physical tests. My grade on the written was 96% and my buddy's was 76%. The physical test was a blow out, my buddy couldn't do a pull up, push up, or a sit up, while I breezed through the test with no problem. Two weeks later, we got notice in the mail. My buddy got the job and I didn't. This thing the government called "Affirmative Action" was in full swing at the time and the government was only hiring women and minorities, so white boys like me were out of luck. So, YES, I have experienced systemic racism. That is, Racism within "the system" Time heals all wounds. I got over it. The best way to defeat racism is to stop bringing it up and making it an issue and move on. Liberal Democrats keep dragging racism into the conversation because it serves their political purpose. Like an old record, stuck in the groove. Democrats have always been the real Racists in this country, because they won't leave it alone and allow it to die a quiet death. The really sad part is, my overweight friend quit his job after a month, because he couldn't handle the physical stress of fighting forest fires. So, this whole thing turned out to be a bust, and it was all because of government sponsored systemic racism I would have been a really good ranger, too, so you all missed out on that.
