9% of Marine Generals are Black

6 out of 82 are black per the article.

That also does change what the article says:

"never in its history has the Marine Corps had anyone other than a white man in its most senior leadership posts."

While certain people will demand a link for this, if it is true the thread premise is officially dead.  Although a better comparison would be the percentage of Marine officers who are black vs. the percentage of Marine generals.

As an aside, if this guy thinks he's being treated unfairly, just release his OER's to the press.

Here's another article (sorry it's still by a woman) about the same subject.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/25/us/politics/military-minorities-leadership.html

The "premise of the article" that a very qualified black man has been passed over multiple times while white men have been promoted to a position.

The group think talking about percentages and assuming the author has an agenda because, well I assume you two have your reasons for not just simply reading and moving on but rather actively arguing that there may be "other reasons" for it, is interesting.

Not shocking.  Just interesting.

The article is about one very qualified black man and the lack of black leadership at the top. The mob has glossed over that.
