His point about his neighbor was that it was criminal that a man who put his life on the line for his country heroically,was unable to find employment in his chosen profession due solely to his race. In my opinion that is criminal. Is this all clear enough for you,or do you want me to reduce to words of one syllable so you can understand it better ? By the way I'm white, and male, and former Marine Corps infantry,so if you better think twice before you use the L word in rebuttal. Cheers, wise up,stop whining !
