The true story of the Tuskegee Airmen, black pilots with college degrees (there weren’t many in the 1930s and 40s) who trained to be fighter pilots during World War II. Here are ten of my favorite such moments, although Hollywood has included many such scenes in many movies. So I have always been emotionally effected anytime I see a white person doing the right thing in a movie towards a person of another ethnic group, including Black Americans, Native Americans or any other group. But I got negative feedback anyway, lots of it. The uniforms I was issued could never have been mistaken for real law enforcement. As soon as I started wearing that security guard uniform I started getting feedback, negative feedback. I surprised myself by shooting very well at the gun range to get qualified to carry a firearm.
A couple of years ago I was hired by a Security company and was trained in unarmed, and armed, uniformed security. I also sympathize with the people who are tasked with law enforcement. In fact as a Scot and Irish American I have always sympathized with anyone who ever got pushed around, starting with Native Americans, Asians, Jewish immigrants, women of any ethnic group, Hispanics from any country. I have always sympathized with Black Americans. We as a nation cannot keep going down this road. It seems every time we hear the news another black citizen has been shot by the police or police have been shot by someone angry about these shootings. I think everyone in this country should be aware by now that our race relations are at an all time low.
