Since when does the draft target people of a non white race. Drafts work quite the opposite because you get put in "Draft Groups" Younger healthier people are more likely to get drafted first, and people who are more likely to be healthier are middle class and richer people. So really an actual draft targets Whites and Asians dispropotrioally. People forget about Asians. They actually have all the benefits of not being a minority when it comes to discrimination wise (or most anyway) and none of the hate. |
I'm not saying that the draft as it has been in the past targets white people, I am just saying that white people tend to make up a dispropotionate share of the power brokers in this society. Other than that there was no insinuation that the draft targets minorities.
I am not sure about the racial makeup of the army to be frank, so I wasn't intending to say that it is disproportionately one thing or the other.
Not to mention, as sqrl brought up, you guys shouldn't take everything I say seriously.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
