You’re big, you’re black, you have a deep voice; you’re intimidating: The Daniel Walker story

I recorded this in Oct.2021. I dive into an interview done by 60 Minutes of an Air Force fighter pilot who left the military due to the "uphill struggle" of racial bias.

As a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, I found the words that came out of the mouth of Major Walker to be disturbing.Click the link to listen to the 5 minute interview. I was very disappointed but not surprised by the lack of journalism skills exhibited by 60 Minutes. I graduated in 1983 and have asked, how could the academy and the Air Force be more racist now than it was when I attended the academy and was in the Air Force? I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

Just so you know, Daniel Walker has since graduated from Harvard Law school and is living his best life. Click the link to follow him on Linkedin.
