If you go to the web site I provided you will find the criteria for obtaining a security clearance for US classified information. It has nothing to do with racism.

It has to do with ANTI-AMERICAN ideas - such as we deserved 9/11, inproperly blaiming the government for acts against others - we brought AIDS to the Black community, associations or SUPPORT of those who hold anti American ideas - Farrakhan.

The government really does NOT want people who hate us knowing our military secrets. Neither does it want those who associate, support, befriend those individuals knowing our secrets. Why did you think it had anything to do with race?
