Why are you sorry it's written by a woman?



Unless you have proof that the "white" officers were less qualified or the black officer was passed over because he is black this is meaningless.



Well, the author clearly does have an agenda because her entire article is supposition backed up by zero facts other than, "the Marine Corps has never has a black person as the highest ranking officer".



Oh wait, you just posted this to be read and not commented on?  


The "mob".  You crack me up.  The article is alleging that this man is not being promoted because he is black.  Pointing out how the numbers do not support this thinly veiled allegation is not "glossing over" anything, it's exposing the obvious flaws in the article's main position.  You didn't write it so I don't understand why you're being so sensitive about it.

Maybe she can write an article about how a black person has never been the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff next? 

Again it is interesting that you find it "race baiting" rather than informative about how race seems to be treated in the leadership positions of the marines.

I welcome thoughts on the situation.  So far they have been "This woman" might have an agenda and vague references to percentages that have nothing to do with the premise of the article and the leadership in the Marines.  There needs to be no other fact than their has never been a black in a major leadership position.  Do you have an alternative reason why?  Or do you just want to accuse me of "race baiting"? Because it was meant to create discussion about how minorities are being treated/handled in the Marines...that it is a sensitive subject shouldn't be a surprise in PNR. And the only people it would provoke (if I get accused of that again) would be people who believe that this is the right thing for the Marines to do in keeping minorities out of their top leadership positions.



(That multiple posters have the same idea and gone after the OP is what I was told was the "group think" we are trying to avoid.  )
