She then went into the Air Force upon graduation, served a short tour in Iraq and then was assigned a teaching position at the Air Force Academy. She got out after 10 years and started working for the Army Corps of Engineers where she makes a 6 figure income and holds a very responsible position. Yes, the racist system really treated her badly.
She is an intelligent, hard working young woman who got where she is at through her efforts. But that's not supposed to be possible, minorities in this country are denied this type of opportunity regardless of how hard they try.

There's a lot more than just myself, who are willing to finally stand up and say something about racism/bigotry (add misogyny/xenophobia/sexism/Etc. to that list)...and that petrifies a lot of other folks.

What we're seeing & hearing now, from a lot of people, is the shameful and disgusting echo of those who fought against...the Civil Rights (AND Women's Suffrage) movements.
